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

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

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
