The traditional B2B GTM playbook is changing. But what should founders build instead?

In this episode of SaugaTalks, Irene sits down with Santiago Faus, founder of MaribouPartners, to explore how AI, buyer behavior, and content-driven trust are reshaping modern go-to-market strategies.

Instead of relying solely on cold outreach and large SDR teams, today's fastest-growing companies are combining AI-powered signals, outbound automation, and authentic personal branding to create more effective growth engines.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

🚀 Why the traditional GTM model is no longer enough for many B2B companies

🤖 How AI is transforming prospecting, lead qualification, and outbound sales

📈 Why signal-based selling is replacing spray-and-pray outreach

💡 The role of LinkedIn content in building trust before the first sales conversation

🎯 How founders can balance automation with genuine human relationships

⚠️ Common GTM mistakes that damage deliverability, brand credibility, and growth

🛠️ Practical AI tools and GTM tech stack recommendations for modern founders

Whether you're a founder, CEO, sales leader, marketer, or entrepreneur, this episode offers practical frameworks you can apply immediately to build a smarter, more scalable go-to-market strategy.
