Core GTM Philosophy

Fundamental Principles

  1. Scale what top performers do - Study best reps, systematize their approach

  2. Diagnose before prescribing - BIPSY framework: Behaviors, Individual, Process, Skill, You

  3. Signal-based outreach = 3-4x higher contract values

  4. You can't burn your TAM - Re-engage with new angles

  5. Lead with pain, not features - HockeyStack approach: "Do you have problems tying brand awareness to revenue?"

  6. 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:

PhoneHigh-intent follow-upAfter engagement
ReferralsLeverage networkThroughout

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
