Outer Flywheel
Also: Attract-Engage-Convert-Expand, GTM flywheel
Definition. A cyclical alternative to the linear funnel: Attract -> Engage -> Convert -> Expand, looping back as expansion and advocacy feed new attraction. Matches non-linear modern buying (buyers self-research before contact) and frames GTM as a momentum-gathering loop rather than a one-way drop-off.
In practice
In agentic-GTM framing, one outer business-outcome flywheel wraps hundreds of inner task-level agent flywheels (each running Sense-Reason-Act-Learn).
