Mark Osborne argues that running many growth experiments signals immaturity, not sophistication. Instead, master a single go-to-market motion. Companies that excel at one thing become A-plus players with a competitive advantage, while those scattered across ten tactics stay mediocre.
We do a lot of work with helping companies grow and scale with their marketing and sales systems. And it's really interesting how frequently companies see lots of different experiments as sort of a sign of maturity. But it's really, it's a sign of immaturity because stacking all of these tactics leads to sort of stretching and breaking and stressing the system. Whereas the really sort of successful companies are the ones that identify a very precise go-to-market motion, and then they get very good at it. So good that they've figured out problems their competitors are still struggling with in a key area that creates that moat, creates that wall, and makes the business more attractive, more transferable, rather than well, we're we're kind of a B or C player at ten different things, rather than being an A plus player at one different thing.
