There are two GTM playbooks for AI companies selling into the enterprise: the Lighthouse and the Landgrab. Lighthouse: win a few marquee customers, build social proof, and reassure the buyer who’s afraid of making the wrong call. Landgrab: win on math, move fast, and sign the largest number of customers possible, logo be damned. Most assume they have to educate the market, and they default to the Lighthouse.
