Core GTM Philosophy

Fundamental Principles

Scale what top performers do - Study best reps, systematize their approach
Diagnose before prescribing - BIPSY framework: Behaviors, Individual, Process, Skill, You
Signal-based outreach = 3-4x higher contract values
You can't burn your TAM - Re-engage with new angles
Lead with pain, not features - HockeyStack approach: "Do you have problems tying brand awareness to revenue?"
Segment and convert, don't over-personalize - Gorgias went from 200 sequences to 10 modular ones

Multi-Channel Coordination

The Data:

Email + ads + referrals = extra $2M ARR (case study)
ABM approach = 36% meeting rate vs 10% non-ABM
Warm before you touch principle

Coordination Strategy:

Channel	Role	Timing
Ads	Warm up, build awareness	Before outreach
Email	Primary outreach	Day 1
LinkedIn	Secondary touch	Day 2-3
Phone	High-intent follow-up	After engagement
Referrals	Leverage network	Throughout

Key Mindsets

On Personalization

Personalize to the person, not just the company
Use specific numbers, not vague claims
Research should inform approach, not just first line

On Volume vs Quality

Quality signals beat high volume
100 signal-based emails > 1000 cold emails
Stack signals for heat scoring (3+ signals = reach out same day)

On Timing

New role signals peak at days 14-45
Website visitors: act within 24-48 hours
Funding announcements: wait 2-4 weeks

On Messaging

Lead with pain, not features
Soft CTAs outperform hard asks
Humor reduces tension and increases response

`buying-signals-6`	Implement signal-based philosophy
