Summary
A go-to-market (GTM) execution solution determines how strategy turns into action across sales, marketing, and customer teams. As enterprise complexity grows, teams must evaluate whether DIY builds, extended tools, or purpose-built GTM orchestration can support scale, accuracy, and change. This overview examines how GTM execution choices shape long term performance.

- What to evaluate before committing to a GTM execution path
Where GTM execution breaks down
Go to market execution breaks down when systems cannot keep pace with scale. Expanding territories, new sales motions, and complex buying groups expose gaps between strategy and day to day operations. Many enterprise teams rely on Salesforce Flows, spreadsheets, or extended tools that were never designed for sustained GTM complexity.
Industry research shows that only 2.9 percent of marketing qualified leads convert to revenue, highlighting how execution gaps compound across the funnel. Fragmented data, brittle logic, and manual intervention slow response and reduce confidence across teams.
Why execution models matter more at scale
DIY approaches offer flexibility but introduce hidden costs through maintenance, errors, and reliance on specialized expertise. Extending existing tools may reduce vendor sprawl, yet most lack the depth required for multi tier routing, territories, SLAs, and buying group engagement. Over time, these constraints limit visibility and adaptability.
What changes with purpose-built orchestration
Purpose built GTM orchestration platforms are designed around execution itself. They centralize signals, automate complex workflows, and adapt as strategy evolves. This model emphasizes scalability, operational clarity, and alignment across the buyer journey rather than short term convenience.
“LeanData is incredibly useful for our organization. We use it to quickly and accurately route new contacts in Salesforce, ensuring they’re matched with existing accounts when they’re present or creating new accounts when they’re not. Additionally we leverage its sophisticated deduping functionality to ensure that no duplicate accounts or contacts are created when we’re importing new data.”Adam Wooley
