## Claim
What's the right size for a B2B marketing team generating $50M in revenue? Most CEOs would guess somewhere between 15 and 30 people. Alina Vandenberghe 🌶️ did it with two. At our Agentic GTM event last week, Alina shared how Chili Piper cut their marketing team from 22 to 2 while generating 1,400 sales-qualified opportunities in 2024.

## Mechanism
At our Agentic GTM event last week, Alina shared how Chili Piper cut their marketing team from 22 to 2 while generating 1,400 sales-qualified opportunities in 2024. I want to break down what actually made that possible because it wasn't just "using AI."

## Conditions
Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).
Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.

## Evidence
