How Does RMOS™ Integrate Cultural Alignment with GTM?
RMOS™ (Revenue Marketing Operating System) makes culture a built-in part of go-to-market by codifying customer-first beliefs into operating principles, behaviors, and metrics that guide every campaign, conversation, and investment.
RMOS™ integrates cultural alignment with GTM by linking your customer-first values to the way revenue work actually runs: how leaders make decisions, how GTM teams plan and prioritize, what gets measured, and what gets rewarded. It turns culture from posters and town halls into a repeatable operating system—with shared principles, rituals, and dashboards that keep marketing, sales, and success teams moving in the same, customer-centric direction.
What Matters for Cultural Alignment in RMOS™?
The RMOS™ Cultural Alignment Playbook
Use this sequence to connect culture to GTM execution—so your values show up in pipeline, programs, and customer experiences, not just slideware.
Discover → Define → Embed → Enable → Measure → Coach → Evolve
- Discover current culture and GTM reality: Use assessments, interviews, and data to understand how teams actually behave today, where culture supports revenue, and where it works against it.
- Define customer-first principles in RMOS™ terms: Translate values into clear operating principles (e.g., “we prioritize lifetime value over one-time wins”) that guide GTM strategies and trade-offs.
- Embed principles in GTM processes and cadences: Bake cultural expectations into planning, campaign design, qualification, handoffs, and QBRs—so the GTM system enforces the culture you want.
- Enable teams with playbooks and content: Provide practical playbooks, content frameworks, and enablement assets that show what “culturally aligned” looks like in messaging, motions, and meetings.
- Measure behavior and outcomes: Align dashboards to the culture you’re building—tracking not only revenue results but also leading behaviors like quality discovery, value-based messaging, and follow-through.
- Coach leaders and frontline managers: Equip leaders to run cadences, 1:1s, and deal reviews that reinforce RMOS™ principles, and celebrate stories where teams choose long-term customer value over shortcuts.
- Evolve with feedback loops: Regularly review where culture and GTM are misaligned, gather feedback from the field, and refine RMOS™ components (principles, processes, metrics) to keep pace with the business.

Client Snapshot: From Siloed GTM Culture to a Shared Revenue System
A large B2B provider came to us with strong pockets of culture—but every GTM team defined “good” differently. By implementing RMOS™, aligning around a common revenue marketing framework, and standardizing cadences and dashboards, they unified culture and execution. Lead management, follow-up, and handoffs became consistent, and customer value—not channel or function—became the organizing principle. See how disciplined GTM and culture come together in our Comcast Business case study: Transforming Lead Management: Comcast Business.
When RMOS™ embeds culture into GTM, your operating system becomes a daily reminder of who you are to customers—and a practical way to turn that identity into repeatable revenue performance.
