How to build a joined-up approach to winning more business

Ryan Hall is back! Following a packed-out keynote in March, the Friday Solved founder is returning to Bristol on 13th October to share more practical, no-nonsense advice on winning work and growing your business.

According to Ryan, most founders don’t have an end-to-end GTM engine. What they have is a collection of activities that happen to run at the same time. Some outbound here, a content push there, an inbound trickle they’ve started calling “strategy”. None of it is connected. None of it compounds.

This talk is all about building the whole thing as one system, not a stack of disconnected tactics. Ryan will walk through his end-to-end blueprint for building a successful GTM engine based on the proven Friday Solved methodology and framework that ensures it takes the pressure off busy founders and growth teams and helps them scale with results that compound.

Key takeaways

You’ll leave with a clear view of what a GTM engine is actually built from: positioning, demand, nurture, and closing, wired together so each part makes the next one easier. Not a hack. Not a shortcut. A system you own and can run for as long as the business exists.

Who is it aimed at?

This talk will be ideal for anyone with an interest and responsibility in new business, this will include founders, leaders, MDs, CEOs, account directors, and new business managers/directors.
