# Industry Insights Report: **The Alignment Gap**

#### What Fragmented Go-To-Market Execution is Costing Revenue Organizations in 2026

Most revenue teams aren't failing because of strategy. They're failing because of what happens between strategy and execution: disconnected messaging, inconsistent qualification, broken handoffs, and a reliance on top performers to carry results.

The data makes the cost impossible to ignore:

- Misaligned teams experience a **48% higher rate of lost deals**
- **87% of enterprises** miss their forecasts by more than 5%
- The top 10% of reps generated **64.6% of all revenue in 2025**

This report combines Force Management's direct experience with high-growth companies and the latest industry research to show revenue leaders what misalignment is really costing their organizations.
