Pure Signal | Why Your Go-To-Market Strategy Still Needs a Human Story Behind It

Credera is excited to announce the release of a new Pure Signal episode: "Why Your Go-To-Market Strategy Still Needs a Human Story Behind It."
On this episode
Building a go-to-market plan is more than having the right strategy; it’s about having the discipline to see it through. On this episode of Pure Signal, hosts Ryan Medellin, Kevin Erickson, and Jake Carter sit down with Nancy Newell, Head of Public Sector Industry Growth at Credera, to talk through what it actually takes to build something and make it stick.
Nancy walks through her five-pillar go-to-market framework, which she’s started implementing in her first months at Credera, and where she has seen companies fall short. You'll also hear a candid exchange on where government agencies sit in the technology adoption curve and whether that gap is really a technology problem or a workforce and trust problem.
For leaders navigating new market entry, a practice rebuild, or the pressure to modernize faster than their organization is ready for, this episode offers a practical perspective. Know your strengths, work the plan, and keep moving.
