Welcome to the GTM Club!

GTM Club is here to create a place where Go-To-Market Leaders and Doers unite to help each other increase B2B tech sales and scale SaaS companies.

That is our vision. We are just getting started!

GTM Club themed rocket launching to space.
GTM Club is shooting for the moon.

Currently, Ilkka, the GTM Club's founder and self-appointed club president, does most, if not all, of the work related to our vision. More about him a bit later.

Go-to-market is a vast topic, and to get started, we have selected our niche based on Ilkka's background. GTM Club's focus is sales-led GTM for B2B tech companies. Our content and upcoming resources are specifically tailored for those keen on deepening their understanding of strategies to drive sales growth and tactics for generating and moving the pipeline forward.

GTM Club provides strategies and tactics to accelerate your sales-led go-to-market.

We look forward to the day GTM Club broadens its horizons to include diverse perspectives, especially from areas outside the founder's immediate expertise. Viewpoints such as marketing, HR, and product development are very welcomed.

Who Should Join?

GTM Club welcomes everyone, from seasoned professionals to newcomers in the GTM field. If your role involves bringing products or services to market, or if you're passionate about mastering sales-led growth, this is the place for you.

Regardless of your role and title, our doors are open to you.
