Your GTM agency can't make this decision. Only you can.

Flat pipeline next to good agency work usually means the decision underneath was never made. Agencies execute decisions that already exist. They can't decide who we sell to, who we refuse, and what problem we actually solve. That's the Positioning Ownership Line. Everything on the execution side is available for rent. Nothing on the ownership side is. Make the call on one page, validated against deals we actually won, before renewing another retainer.

Is it a product problem or a positioning problem? How to know before you pivot again

Most growth stalls at seed to Series A are positioning failures wearing product clothing, and the misdiagnosis costs six to eighteen months of rebuild nobody needed. A product problem means the product can't deliver what the right customer needs. A positioning problem means it can, and buyers still can't tell it was built for them. Five signals separate the two, and the evidence already sits in your CRM. Run the diagnostic in a week, before you authorize the rebuild.
