🧭 In Volatile Markets, Clarity Wins. Here’s How to Get It, Fast.

Get GTM clarity in volatile markets by resetting your story with the Whiteboard Story Sprint, leading to increased conversions and growth.


In uncertain times, most companies react in one of two ways:

They pause. Or they push harder.

But the teams that pull ahead don’t do either.

They take a beat and reset their story.

šŸŽÆ The Problem Isn’t Activity. It’s Clarity.

Since January, many B2B teams have seen their new name pipeline stall and cycle times blow out.

Not because effort has dropped, but because conversations aren’t landing.

Messaging that once worked is now ignored.

Buyers stay passive. GTM teams spin.

This isn’t a sales execution issue. It’s a positioning and story issue.

šŸš€ The Whiteboard Story Sprint: Fast GTM Clarity

This sprint rebuilds your GTM narrative from real buyer insight, then installs it fast.

It starts with JTBD Switch Interviews — structured conversations with recent buyers to surface:

  • The struggling moments that triggered their search
  • The decision dynamics that shaped their choice
  • The outcomes they were really buying

From those insights, we create:

  • A Positioning canvas and a conversational storyboard.
  • A ā€œWhy Changeā€ story that mirrors how buyers actually decide
  • A whiteboard narrative: visual, conversational, and easy to deliver
  • A live training session where your customer-facing team practices and installs the story

šŸ“ˆ Real Story, Real Impact

One European IT services firm ran this sprint in Q3 last year.

Growth had stalled. Their GTM efforts weren’t converting. Outbound was landing flat. They were fighting pricing objections in every deal.

We conducted six customer Switch Interviews. From those interviews, we created a positioning canvas and a conversational storyboard.

We then built a whiteboard story rooted in buyer truth.

Their buyers loved them and held them in the highest regard. They were delivering high-value, high-risk projects consistently for their customers and didn't need to negotiate price. They needed a better story and some objection resolution techniques.

We embedded these in the whiteboard story and trained the whole team, including the CEO, to deliver it confidently and without reliance on decks or demos.

Eight months later:

  • Their customer base has grown by 35%
  • The CEO received international recognition for entrepreneurial leadership
  • And the story? Still in use across the company — from sales to consultants to leadership

This wasn’t a rebrand. It was a reset. And it worked.

🧠 In Volatile Times, Precision Beats Pressure

The market might stay uncertain. But your message doesn’t have to.

The Whiteboard Story Sprint creates rapid GTM traction by providing your team with a story that opens doors and moves deals.

If you’re heading into a sales kickoff, planning a GTM reset, or trying to reignite growth, this is the move to make.

Let’s build your whiteboard story.  Find out more about the Whiteboard Activation Sprint here!
