In today's episode, I chat with Lennart, GTM Engineering Lead at Moss, about running fast-moving SMB outbound across Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. Lennart supports both BDRs, who focus purely on outbound, and SDRs, who handle marketing handoffs.

His strongest SDR play targets funnel drop-offs: when someone enters an email but doesn't finish, his team reverse-enriches the account and contact, then personalizes follow-up around what they entered. He also explains why website visitor de-anonymization is much harder under European privacy rules. By prepping accounts with AI, Moss cut BDR research time by 50%, and some signal-based plays convert at roughly double the usual rate, around 10% vs 5%. Lennart shares his path from sales ops at an HR consultancy to building a data team at Moss, then back to IC as AI reshaped the stack. He predicts companies will need multiple GTM engineers to grow without adding headcount, explains why Moss runs production automations in n8n and GitHub Actions while keeping Clay for experiments, and warns new GTM engineers against blindly trusting AI.

Enjoy 🙂

In today's episode, I chat with Andrew, Head of GTM at Arda, about the context engineering layer that most outbound stacks completely ignore. Arda is the easiest way to implement Kanban for small and medium-size manufacturers — tying physical Kanban cards to a digital backend connected to supplier ordering so factories never hit a stockout.

Andrew's most valuable build isn't a campaign; it's the authoritative reference layer he's built beneath all of them. Most enrichment tools (Clay, DeepLine, Exa) do a solid job telling your machine everything about a prospect, but almost nothing tells it about you — your brand voice, verified proof points, which accounts to walk away from. Andrew has addressed this with a context graph that agents traverse via a decision tree rather than fetching fresh context every time, running the whole thing headless from the command line for fewer burned tokens and improving answers over time. We also talk about his path from founding AE to full-time GTM engineer, why sales experience matters more than an engineering background in this role, and why humanity and empathy are the one thing an agentic workflow can't afford to lose.

In today's episode, I chat with Aamir Massoud, GTM Lead at Numero, about running precise, signal-driven outbound with a lean team inside one of the more complex enterprise sales environments — the office of the CFO.

Numero is a vertical AI platform that deploys agents into finance and accounting workflows without ripping out ERPs or CRMs. Aamir breaks down why he starts every GTM build not with a tool but with a written story — who you're selling to, how they're tiered, and why — and how that document becomes the foundation for everything built on Claude after. He walks through a specific campaign where they scraped data on CFOs who had published podcasts, interviews, or articles in the past 90–180 days (via Floid and their connectors), then used those signals to write personalized emails in the prospect's own language — with a human-in-the-loop review step before anything goes out. He shares his prediction that lean GTM pods will keep getting more powerful by pulling signals from product, support, and CS, and closes with practical advice: define the ICP yourself, write the story before you touch any tooling, then pick one workflow, finish it, and move on.

In today's episode, I chat with Cory Blumenfeld, founder at BlueMoso, about giving business owners their time back by providing virtual talent for ops, admin, SDR, and client-facing roles, mostly for small business owners looking to scale past doing everything themselves.

Cory breaks down his client acquisition mix, where warm referrals and affiliates lead but personal brand content on LinkedIn drives real pipeline, and why he's exploring Substack to pull his audience off algorithm-dependent platforms and into owned channels. He shares how BlueMoso actually started: after exiting two businesses, he began posting on LinkedIn, brought on a VA he set up for success with real systems, and when other creators kept telling him their VAs weren't working, he realized the systems were the product. That VA is now his business partner, and together they've built a talent pool of over 70 virtual workers in under two years. Cory predicts outsourcing grows alongside AI rather than losing to it, with human experience becoming the premium tier as AI-only interactions become the default, and closes with advice for business owners: not adopting AI now is the real risk.

In today's episode, I chat with Tamara Omomo, GTM engineer at Everphone, a device-as-a-service company that manages end-to-end device procurement for mid-size to enterprise fleets.

Tamara walks through her account-monitoring build for enterprise buying committees: an agent that tracks news, podcasts, and LinkedIn activity for mapped stakeholders and alerts her team to engage in a relationship-first way, paired with synthetic personas built from years of past sales transcripts so outreach is tailored by job title down to the individual contact. She shares her path from growth marketing, where broken attribution and disconnected systems pushed her toward automation, HubSpot dashboards, and eventually Clay, before rebranding herself into GTM engineering two years ago. She also talks about Berlin's growing GTM engineering scene versus the more saturated US market. Tamara predicts agentic AI will increasingly absorb SDR work, more teams building in-house tools over relying on SaaS, and personalization at scale becoming the norm, and closes with advice for beginners: relax, pick one or two tools instead of chasing every new one, solve the actual problem before reaching for a tool, and stay off LinkedIn hype.

In today's episode, I chat with Himanshi Shah, founding GTM engineer at Scaletopia, about running outbound exclusively for marketing agencies that are too busy serving their own clients to book new business for themselves.

Himanshi walks through two campaigns: one pulling Product Hunt launch data into automation tools to reach founders right as they ship, and another sourcing companies that just went ISO 27001 compliant straight from news releases and LinkedIn, then enriching and targeting the right people inside each one. She shares her unplanned path into GTM, from a data analyst offer at PayPal that fell through after an accident, to an insurance job, to a US startup where she taught herself make.com in five days and became an automation engineer, eventually landing the founding GTM engineer title at Scaletopia. She predicts AI agents will become the decision makers in outbound while humans shift into operating them, and closes with advice for beginners: take things one step at a time, learn the sales fundamentals before jumping into Clay and automation tooling.

In today's episode, I chat with Jay, a go-to-market engineer at Clay, about implementing AI across roughly 50 companies in the past year, from five-person shops in West Texas to 3,000-person organizations.

Jay walks through his favorite recent build: an AI agent for an electronic sign company that pulls Google Street View images of churches and retail locations, scores the quality of their existing signage, checks zip code wealth and traffic, then hands reps a qualification status, cutting a 15 to 60 minute manual process down to seconds. We get into his signals-driven prospecting framework, where static ICP scoring gets layered with real-time buying triggers so reps wake up to a prioritized account list every Monday. Jay shares his path from private equity to scaling ThredUp's B2B arm to zero to double-digit million ARR, then falling for Clay as an early user before joining. He predicts go-to-market is splitting into an orchestration layer for data infrastructure and an app layer reps build themselves, and closes with advice for new GTM engineers: learn CRM architecture first, then just do it.

In today's episode, I chat with Taiwo, founder at JourneyWise, about building a unified "allbound" platform that captures every touchpoint across marketing and sales instead of treating inbound and outbound as separate stories.

Taiwo shares a client story where an Australian prospect ghosted after a demo, then returned nine months later citing their LinkedIn content, showing how non-linear the real buyer journey actually is. We get into JourneyWise's guerrilla marketing tactics, from bar-style table cards in co-working spaces to QR codes at coffee stations, and how thinking offline first helped the brand stand out. Taiwo walks through her path from marketing analyst, sitting at the intersection of marketing and sales, to noticing that outbound touchpoints were missing from attribution models entirely and that ICPs diverged between teams. She predicts the next shift is unified execution layers and buyers represented by AI agents evaluating vendors directly, and closes with advice for new GTM engineers: experiment constantly, remix ideas from other creators, and learn how systems, APIs, and workflows connect.
