In this episode of GTM Secrets, Stephen Lowisz pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood markets in SaaS: government sales. Whether you think B2G is slow, bureaucratic, or impossible to crack, think again.
Stephen sits down with Adam Griffin, a 20-year GovTech sales veteran currently at Cot Systems, to break down what it really takes to succeed in this niche but high-potential space.
