Customer value doesn’t stop at the vendor. In 2026, the fastest-growing GTM motions are partner-led. But most partner teams still face the same bottleneck: The customer hears multiple value stories. Different assumptions. Different metrics. Different decks. And when it’s time for executive validation, the story breaks. That’s why the Customer Value Community is leaning into a new standard: 👉 Partner value has to be co-created, documented, and provable. ✨ What we’re seeing from the field: ✅ Partnerships win when value is structured early ✅ Ecosystem motions scale when “who delivered what” is clear ✅ Expansion happens when outcomes are governed, not guessed 1️⃣ Shared customer objectives and success criteria 2️⃣ Joint KPIs, targets, and assumptions agreed up front 3️⃣ Documented proof that holds up with Finance and Procurement 4️⃣ A single narrative that Sales, CS, and partners can carry forward If partner growth is a priority in 2026, the play is simple: Stop treating partner value like enablement content. Start treating it like an outcomes system. 👀 Want the framework? 👉 Explore Collaborative Value Assessments for Partners: https://hubs.ly/Q045WYwZ0 #CustomerValueCommunity #Partnerships #PartnerEcosystems #CustomerValue #ValueRealization #GTM #ValueSelling #AINative #B2BSales #SaaS

Most GTM teams don’t struggle with execution. They struggle with attention. As GTM stacks grow and AI tools multiply, everything competes for focus. Dashboards, alerts, quick asks, and internal noise can easily drown out the signals that actually move revenue. This week on The GTM Signal, we published “Attention Is All You Need (the GTM skill nobody trains for)” — a practical look at why routing attention is becoming a core GTM capability.

Not every customer requires the same motion, and treating them that way can quietly erode both GRR and NRR. The best SaaS operators use intentional segmentation and coverage models to align the right resources, engagement cadence, and value conversations to the right accounts. When segmentation is done well, it strengthens retention while unlocking smarter expansion opportunities. The best SaaS operators use intentional segmentation and coverage models to align the right resources, engagement cadence, and value conversations to the right accounts. When segmentation is done well, it strengthens retention while unlocking smarter expansion opportunities. • Derisk GRR by prioritizing high-touch engagement and proactive risk monitoring for strategic accounts. • Accelerate NRR by identifying which segments have the highest expansion potential and aligning coverage to growth moments. • Enable save plays by spotting adoption gaps, stakeholder changes, or value misalignment earlier within each segment. Segmentation isn’t just an operational exercise, it’s a revenue strategy. The companies that grow the fastest don’t treat every customer the same; they design coverage models that protect retention while creating expansion momentum. #SaaS #NRR #EspeutConsulting #CustomerSuccess #RevenueLeadership #ExpansionStrategy

The strongest Heads of Product don’t just guide what gets built - they make the organization *capable of making good product decisions, repeatedly.* We recently wrapped up a 3-part growth workshop for VPs of Product in the Vertex portfolio, led by Hadas Sheinfeld. Across discovery, stakeholder management, and team growth, one theme kept coming up: what worked early on doesn’t hold once complexity increases. Here’s how the role actually changes at scale 👇
