New GTM Playbook: RevOps + GTM Engineers | Fivos Aresti posted on the topic | LinkedIn
The old GTM playbook is broken:
- Hire a bunch of reps
- Get legacy category-leading tools
- Have sales and marketing work in silos
The new-school GTM playbook is run by RevOps + GTM Engineers. Here's how the top teams are doing it:
1️⃣ ICP Analysis
• Export Closed Won + Closed Lost from the CRM
• Feed both into Claude Code to find the patterns
• Build the ICP model on 3 layers: firmographics, account signals, technographics
2️⃣ TAM Map
Map the entire market that fits the ICP:
• Apollo.io's company database
• Ocean.io for lookalikes companies
• AI Ark for keyword search
• Clay's database for extra companies
3️⃣ AI Account Research
Enrich every account at scale:
• Apollo.io for firmographics
• Claygent + Claude for account-fit signals
• Exa for deep web research
• Sumble for technographics
• Findymail for social signals
4️⃣ Tier + Score
• Split accounts into Tier 1, 2, 3
• Score each one by awareness stage:
• Identified → Aware → Interested → Considering → Selecting
5️⃣ Contact Sourcing
Find and validate the buying committee:
• Combination of Clay + AI Ark to source contacts
• Findymail to find and verify emails
• BetterContact for phone numbers
6️⃣ Demand Generation
Only now do you turn on the channels, and all three run together on the same RevOps foundation:
• Content: LinkedIn, X, Website
• Outbound: LinkedIn, Calls, Email
• Ads: LinkedIn, Meta, Google
7️⃣ Meeting Booked
• Clay routes the lead to HubSpot
• Cal.com books the call
8️⃣ Sales Process
• Ergo for account intel before every call
• Nooks for dialing
• Apollo.io + HubSpot to run the pipeline
• Qwilr for proposals
• Claude as the copilot through all of it
9️⃣ Closed Won
Every closed won account feeds the engine to find more lookalike companies.
Save this for your next GTM build.
