Interest rates are falling. Employment and GDP are beating expectations. Trade deals are accelerating. And in January 2026, the “Big Beautiful Bill” activates, unlocking incentives across infrastructure, digital modernization, broadband, data-centers, and domestic innovation. For tech and telecom companies , this isn’t just good macro-noise. It’s a rare, time-sensitive opportunity  to win market share, shape enterprise spend, and lock in high-value contracts before  the flood

When landmark legislation passes, capital doesn’t just move, it accelerates toward new opportunity. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is doing exactly that. It’s been hailed as one of the most consequential tax and capital investment bills in modern U.S. history. By expanding 100% first-year depreciation, R&D tax incentives, and qualified production property (QPP) expensing, the bill effectively reprograms corporate investment math.

2026 is shaping up to be the year when traditional go-to-market (GTM) strategies finally collapse under their own weight. The funnels, lead-hand-offs, and stage-gated campaigns that once powered predictable growth are now failing to keep up with a new kind of market dynamic—where buyers are self-directed, AI curates the shortlist, and alignment is the only multiplier that matters.

Do your clients really trust your teams—or are they staying out of convenience until a better option comes along? It’s an uncomfortable question, but one every CEO needs to wrestle with before locking in a 2026 revenue plan

For decades, sales training programs have promised to equip reps with the skills needed to hit quota and close deals faster. But in 2025, the very frameworks that once accelerated growth are now slowing it down. The traditional, static sales training model is failing. And it’s time we admit it.

Boards and investors may be sympathetic to market forces—tariffs, inflation, budget constraints—but they expect CEOs to create a plan to navigate around uncertainty and win. And "win" means something specific: ROI and shareholder value. Too many B2B revenue teams are operating with playbooks that were built for a buying environment that no longer exists. If your sellers can't navigate the very disruptions you're paid to overcome, then your sales system isn't designed to win

CEOs of B2B growth firms face a critical window. Markets are shifting. Buyers are changing. And strategies built in January may already be stale. The most agile firms—David-sized companies operating with insight and precision—are using this mid-year checkpoint to adjust before Q3. And they’re doing it faster and smarter than their Goliath competitors. At Lucrum Partners, we’ve synthesized the latest thinking from Gartner, Forrester, Corporate Visions, and SBI Growth

In 2025, sales enablement is no longer a support function—it’s a strategic lever. Or at least, it should be. Recent insights from Gartner’s 2025 Sales Excellence and Innovation Report offer a clear warning: if enablement functions fail to evolve into strategic consulting arms to the C-suite, they risk becoming irrelevant in driving growth, retention, and quota performance. At Lucrum Partners, we’ve worked closely with B2B organizations attempting to modernize their go-to-m

Most enablement and RevOps teams aren’t built for this mission. They’re still trained for peacetime operations—coordinating onboarding, pushing out content, and managing platforms. Meanwhile, sales leaders are deployed into combat zones with no forward intelligence, no air support, and no real-time guidance from headquarters.

The Disconnect in B2B Sales Despite rapid advancements in sales technology and enablement tools, modern B2B buyers remain unimpressed. According to Gartner, fewer than 20% of sellers are able to align their conversations with business impact—a stark indicator of misalignment between what buyers need and what sellers deliver.

Over the past few years, the role of sales operations has undergone a profound transformation. No longer just a back-office function focused on CRM hygiene and forecasting reports, today’s sales operations must operate as a strategic command center—one that fuels growth, enables executive decision-making, and equips sellers with the tools, intelligence, and systems they need to win.

Learn why B2B CEOs must stop relying on outdated best practices and start building buyer-informed go-to-market strategies rooted in modern buyer behavior.
