GTMOperators

The GTM playbook used to be simple.

Need to grow, retain, or expand revenue?

Add people. Give them tools.

But the bigger the team got,

the slower it moved.

More meetings. More handoffs. More approvals.

And the customer got passed around.

  1. Sales Development
  2. Account Executive
  3. Sales Engineer
  4. Solutions Consultant
  5. Customer Success
  6. Support
  7. Renewals

One customer. Six handoffs.

Deals stalled.

Customers felt ignored.

Software became shelfware.

It’s time to rebuild GTM
for the AI era.

When systems do the admin,

people can focus on people.

Start building.

In less than 24 months there will be a clip of a high profile CRO explaining this reality to a (much smaller) room of sales reps.

GTM engineering roles are starting to move up a layer to managing agent orchestration and agent-human collaboration. The GTME builds the system that directs agent work and coordinates where human judgment comes in. That means understanding which actions agents can take, where a person needs to…

Go-to-market jobs grew by 200% in the last year. I've audited 300+ GTM motions.  What the role actually does in 2026: → Signal tracking: 1st, 2nd and 3rd-party signals (RB2B, Trigify.io, Bombora) → ICP modelling: closed-won and lost into a scoring model → TAM scoping: every account you could…

Everybody is hiring a GTM engineer so that they can send more cold emails. Just get a Clay subscription, build a list, and you’re off. Now, you’re sending out 10,000 emails… congratulations! But I think they’re still entirely missing the point. Copy is a commodity. It’s cheap…

If you don’t understand this, then you don’t understand GTM The #1 skill in AI GTM is changing. I've spent the last 10 months living in the terminal with Claude Code and Codex. Coding essentially got eaten up by agents and I was asking myself what will happen to GTM? I've realised that we…

Tim Geisenheimer runs a 100+ person revenue org using Claude Code. What's crazy is, he opened a terminal for the first time in his life over winter break, just 8 months ago. Opus 4.5 had just dropped and he was spending a little too much time on X, and he got curious. While his kids were asleep, a…

Learning Clay doesn't make you a GTM Engineer. Just like learning Lovable does not make you a frontend engineer. A GTM Engineer comes from one of 2 starting profiles: a marketer who picked up how to connect tools/APIs, or an engineer who learned what makes an offer good. What actually…

Your AI agent is failing in production right now. You just can't prove it yet. Here's the brutal part about agents: they don't crash. No error. No alert. No stack trace. Someone tweaks a prompt, a tool API changes, a model gets updated. And your agent quietly starts picking the wrong tool on 20%…
