Bottoms-Up vs. Top-Down: The Forecast Fight No One Wants to Have

Most revenue problems aren't growth problems. They're foundation problems. In this episode of GTM Uncensored, Adam Jay sits down with Revenue Reimagined co-founder Dale Zwizinski to unpack what broken revenue organizations actually feel like from the inside. From messy CRM data and unrealistic board expectations to broken customer handoffs and misaligned teams, Dale explains why growth can't fix weak foundations. They also discuss why customer success should be treated as a revenue function, how leaders can identify root causes, and why slowing down often leads to better decisions.
