Read This Before Launching GTM

You’re starting a GTM services agency (nice move). You’re bottlenecked by: “Who do I sell to? How do I get them? What actually works now?”

A Geeky Win I’m Proud Of!

New customer success breakthrough for RevyOps. I like to count my wins, no matter how small. Here's the problem we have dealt with:

A Leadership Reset I Needed!

Big win for the Wellsite Navigator team. We had a great "offsite" team meeting. Here are five lessons learned:

The Tech Decision That Made Us Unique | RevyOps

This one feature choice we made at the very beginning of development makes RevyOps extremely unique. Here's the problem: List data of any type (contacts or companies) is notoriously easy to duplicate.

If Clay Died Tomorrow, Would You?

I’ve seen RevOps teams panic when their enrichment tool shuts down. Sales Ops scramble when their automation platform changes pricing. And I’ve heard “we need to rebuild everything” too many times.

Doubling Sales Isn’t the Hard Part

It's one thing to sell software. It's another thing entirely to get people to use it. Here's a RevyOps update on my journey to $1 Million. We've doubled our monthly sales in the last two weeks. Excited? Of course! Problematic? Kind of.

Looking good on camera is a sales skill now…

“I’ve been sending spam for 10 years.” That’s how 🦬 Felipe Aranguiz from EmailBison described his job when we sat down on the NextGen Sales Leaders Podcast. But, jokes aside, it was one of the best podcast episodes yet.

Wrong Market Makes You Look Bad

Leads are down again. But probably not because of your offer. Most founders rush to fix what’s visible..

The MVO Framework That Actually Works

Your GTM agency offers 5+ services. Your competitor offers 1. Guess who's closing more deals? And still... no consistent pipeline of ideal clients.

The Part Everyone Overlooks About Databases
🦾Eric Nowoslawski has now famously said that Supabase is the right technology for building a central database for cold emails. Here's what he's missing:

💭 My Take of the Week

  • Be willing to completely re-position yourself, your offer, or your client’s offer today. If you are consistently getting poor results, feedback from the market that they “don’t get it” or disagree with your take…then pivot!

  • “Pivoting” means being willing to re-imagine, rephrase, and completely change your offer, your hooks, your story, and even the ideal customer profile you are targeting. Sometimes a poor campaign needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. Burn the old world behind you.

  • “Pivoting” also requires giving up a long-held set of beliefs on “what works” in a particular market. This can be challenging because it forces you to reflect on “failure deeply” and why your prior beliefs and strategy were flawed. Nonetheless, put your ego aside and figure out what DOES work. Your bank account and future ego will thank you.
