6 practical lessons on scaling revenue from Aidan Corbett, CEO Wayflyer

1. Vitamins vs painkillers.
Find a problem that hurts. 
Pain defines urgency; urgency defines product-market fit.

2. Understand your company equation.
Every business runs on variables.
Understand how they interact 
— your pricing, data collection, churn tolerance — 
all tradeoffs you choose, consciously or not.

3. Tough decisions compound.
Your effectiveness equals the number of hard calls you’re willing to make early.
Avoiding them doesn’t buy you time.

4. High-agency people scale faster.
They combine disagreeability (challenge the system), agility (move without permission), and clarity (know what matters).

5. Take the money.
The bootstrapping myth glorifies control,
but without capital, you can’t hire the people who change the trajectory.

Sort of the indie film vs Avengers dilemma. 
Decide which one you’re shooting.

6. Generalists first.
At the early stage, curiosity beats expertise.
Generalists adapt, experiment, and now, with AI, move even faster.
Specialists make sense later when systems run the company.


📍Today's last day of Web Summit 2025, Lisbon.
 Let's catch up if we haven't had the chance yet.

Fractional Marketing for B2B Tech | Co-Founder & CMO @ O-CMO | GTM + Hypothesis testing

Should a CMO think like an economist?

A CMO is the most versatile seat in the C-suite.
And yes, advising on unit economics is part of the job description.

Why so?
Essentially, every leadership function approached monetization from their angle.

A CFO sees how pricing sustains profit and cash flow.
A CRO optimizes tiers to support revenue.
A CMO ensures the price aligns with value perception, target segment, and positioning.

When pricing drifts, it’s usually marketing that spots the cracks first.

A good CMO flags:

→ Unscalable unit economics 
e.g. promos eat margin

→ Misaligned pricing and positioning.
e.g you sell premium product at low price.

→ Marketing spend turns into debt
e.g you’re spending more on paid channels that you're earning.

→ Features promoted before revenue proves their value
e.g you capitalize on unvalidated hypotheses or go all in on experiments

→ Pricing built on gut feel
this one's self-explanatory


Pricing tells the market what kind of company you are.
And a CMO who can read those signals through both story and numbers is worth their seat.


📍Heading to Web Summit in Lisbon (Nov 10–13), staying after.
If you’re around, let’s talk how marketing logic meets market economics.

Web Summit 2025 was a blast.

A bit chaotic.
A bit short on coffee.
Still packed with insights.

Here are a few that stood out:

1) AI (obviously) dominated conversations.
But not the “wow, look at this tech” kind of hype.
Rather about monetization, revenue, and product logic.

→ If you’re not AI-native yet, you need to become one.

2) Go-to-market was the second big wave.
More data in the world than ever before.
And yet only a handful of companies actually use it to guide their GTM.
(I’ll be sharing more on this in the coming days.)

3) Marketing… got scattered.
Authenticity and branding went to the Marketing Summit.
The real GTM mechanics were moved to Growth, New Media, and Startup stages.

→ I don’t buy this separation.
Marketing was always the most versatile discipline.
Splitting it across tracks doesn’t change the reality.

4) Being weird, freaky, or cringe is now a competitive edge.
Even in B2B.

→ AI is pulling everyone toward the same tone, the same templates, the same thinking.
Originality is an asset again.


The most practical insight:
→ If you want crowds at your booth, bring coffee.
You’ll become a landmark instantly.


For me, investor talks and AI monetization hit harder this year.
So brace yourselves, more videos and breakdowns are coming next week.


Thank you to everyone I met 
-- old friends, current colleagues, new partners -- 
for the conversations, the debates, and the unexpected perspectives.

📍I’m still in Lisbon.
 If we didn’t get a chance to catch up, let’s fix that.

Is the role of a CMO over?

That question came up last year at Web Summit during a panel with Gabie Boko, CMO at NetApp.

Marketers have historically been the last to hire, first to fire.
CMOs hold the shortest tenure in the whole C-suite.

And while I do agree CMOs deserve a seat at the table.
The rise of the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) feels like the next chapter.

The CRO connects what used to be divided: marketing, sales, customer success.

That’s the real reason this shift matters. 
Not because the CMO loses relevance,
but because the customer journey can’t live in silos anymore.

Ask marketing what it means, they’ll describe TOFU–MOFU–BOFU.
Ask sales, it’s first touch to signed deal.
Ask account managers, it’s retention and renewals.
Each is right, but none see the full picture.

A strong CRO does.
They trace every leak in the funnel and realign resources to where revenue actually moves.

So no, the role of a CMO isn’t over.
But the role of marketing without full commercial context might be.


📍Looking forward to more insightful discussions this year.
If you’re in Lisbon, let's talk about how marketing and revenue shifts.

When did “marketing” become a synonym to "branding"?

It's only been the first day of Web Summit,
but this year, every marketing panel sounds like therapy:
authenticity, storytelling, human touch.

SEO, CRO, outreach (sorry, now it's called GTM engineering), 
-- all moved to the Growth track.


I'm always the first to raise my hand when someone talks about emotion in marketing,
But I don't quite understand why the technical side got divorced from marketing.

Brand is one expression of marketing.
And there should be space for strategy, research, experimentation, and growth logic.

Marketing doesn’t end where the logo starts.
It’s the layer that connects product, market, and revenue.

The feeling matters.
But the math matters, too.


📍Web Summit, Lisbon (Nov 10–13).
 If you’re here, let’s talk about the gap between story and scale.

Twenty cents can save $72k.

I advise an early-stage real estate startup.
A product built out of the founder’s own pain,
so the product-market fit is already there.

The founder has no marketing background.
Still built the strategic foundations by instinct.

Positioning.
Value propositions.
Ideal customer profiles.

Even pricing.
All intuitive.

Then an enterprise shows interest in a yearly license.
 A big one.

"Yay, that's a bulk order, I can give a discount,"
thinks the founder.

The numbers disagreed.

→ servicing one property unit cost him 80 cents
→ the value for the client was several times higher

To reach break-even he only needed a 20-cent lift.

We ran unit economics.
Analyzed competitors.
Aligned price with value.

Result: the annual enterprise deal could grow by $72k.

$72k! 
Saved thanks to 5-hour research!

Two takeaways:
 → Small gaps become expensive when multiplied across volume.
 → I'm all for gut feeling in business. But GTM decisions still need a sanity check.


Have you ever had a demon's in the detail moment, 
and if so, how did it play out for you?

“I have no idea what to write about.”

This phrase cannot exist in your company's vocabulary.

Because the work you already do feeds you more content than you can ever publish.

Here's a list of the most obvious sources:

1) Your sales calls.
Every hesitation, objection, and side comment → content.

2) Your customers.
Their current problems, past triggers, internal politics → content.

3) Industry patterns.
Gaps in the systems, shifts, exceptions, future outlooks → content. 

4) Conferences you attend.
I bet you walk out with at least some insights from panel discussions → content. 

5) Colleagues and peers.
You agree or disagree with something every day → content.


Of course, a content plan helps.
Knowing the problem you solve helps even more.

But you're sitting on so much knowledge,
it's a shame to call it the blank page.


Marketers, share your best and even unexpected sources that give you your best performing content ideas?

GTM is the hottest topic now.

Three reasons.

one → investors and finance want evidence of efficiency.
A GTM roadmap gives them exactly that because it anchors revenue in specific actions.

two → buyers are drowning in sameness.
Strong GTM becomes the edge: positioning, pricing, packaging sharpened until value meets willingness to pay.

three → you.
GTM is a living thing.
You get to experiment while staying loyal to one North Star.

That’s how ElevenLabs gained their competitive edge: 
multiple products, multiple use cases, quick iterations 
across ICPs and segments.
Too fast to replicate.
Competitors didn’t stand a chance.


Funny enough, just a few months ago I was saying strategies don't sell.

And look at the world now, pushing back those who count on growth hacks.


Is go to market becoming a priority for you in 2026 or are you putting your energy somewhere else?

You need runway to run marketing experiments.

I had a client once.
They wanted to build a hypothesis testing machine.

A month later, I discovered they only had one shot at it and were hoping to get SQLs from early tests in the market they knew nothing about.

Too many founders resort to tests in the state of agony.

While in reality it should be quite the contrary.


Here are the basics:

→ Experiments create new revenue.
This layer gives you early signals, not predictable outcomes. It belongs to the high-volatility zone of your marketing function.

→ Metrics here are about progress.
You don't measure SQLs or deals closed.
Number of tests shipped, learnings captured, speed of iteration, quality of conversations, friction points, time-to-insight.

→ Core channels should be in place before any of this begins.
Organic search, partners, branded demand, existing relationships, communities that already respond to your presence.

These channels carry the weight of the business while experiments explore future potential.

When a team has runway and a stable core, 
experiments turn a structured way to validate your product-market fit.

When a team has no runway, 
experiments turn into emotional survival moves.

"Contact forms were cool... in 1995."

How come B2B is 10 years late behind B2C?

Nick says it's from how we design the buying experience.

Amazon, Uber, and all main B2Cs, let you buy in one-click.

One. Click.

Whereas in B2B, buyers have to:

- fill a 2-page contact form
- pick a slot in sales people's agenda
- sit through a "qualification call"
- endure a generic demo

...until they finally get a conversation with someone who will try to understand their situation, and help them.

That's why Nick Tomic founded Face2Face.io

I interviewed him on the last episode of my podcast TractionStories

(Link to listen it is on my profile)


Did you ever enjoy a buying process in B2B?

I turn complex tech products into clear, differentiated offerings, so your messages finally land | Product Marketing Consultant | Narrative, Positioning & Messaging

Are humans still needed in the sales process?

Nick Tomic advocates they are.

Because nobody in B2B will sign a $100k annual contract without speaking to someone who can vet it's the right move to do.

I interviewed him on how he grew Face2Face.io - getting to $100k ARR in just 15-month, fully bootstrapped.

We talked about how "book a demo" forms should be dead, how to get users the quickest time-to-value, and increase conversion rates by doing non-scalable calls.

To listen to the episode:

1) Like this post for the reach
2) Head over to my profile

Enjoy - and thank you Nick for joining!


ps: I swear it's a coincidence Nick is the third guest in a row who speaks French 😂

Podcast TractionStories with Nick Tomic, founder of Face2Face

Nick and I both help B2B teams differentiate their SaaS in competitive markets.

But Nick Tomic does it from the CX:

He removes all friction in buying+using your SaaS, by connecting your experts to buyers/users exactly when they need help.

(CX = Customer Experience)


Can you believe simply being accessible makes you standout?

When I see gated demos, hidden pricing, huge contact forms...

Somehow, I don't doubt it.
