Fit rules, exclusions, buying triggers, and account tiers.
Founder-led B2B growth
Find the accounts worth pursuing.
For founder-led B2B teams with a narrow market and a real offer. Choose the accounts worth personal effort, then build the data, message, route, and weekly follow-up around them.
The work before outreach
Most outbound help starts after the hard decisions.
Lists, sequences, and automation only work when the account logic is sharp. GTM Cadence starts with the commercial judgment founders usually keep in their heads: who is worth pursuing, what changed, and why this route might earn attention.
What changed, why now, and whether the account has a live reason to care.
Founder POV, warm path, direct mail, LinkedIn, email, or hold.
Refresh signals, next actions, owners, and follow-up state.
What gets built
A usable account map, not a strategy deck.
The first outputs are practical operating artifacts: named accounts, why they fit, what signal matters, which route to use, and what the next action should be.
- Specific company names
- Reason to reach out now
- Channel route by account
Illustrative output: account, signal, route, and next action in one operating view.
Creative route design
When the account deserves more than email.
The channel is chosen after the account logic is clear. Some accounts get a founder note. Some need a warm path. A few deserve a physical moment that makes the follow-up feel earned.
- Send physical note after signal check
- Founder email 48 hours later
- Refresh account context weekly
Proof pack
Account judgment before outbound volume.
The work should be inspectable before any sequence launches: who made the list, what signal created the angle, which route makes sense, and where automation is allowed to help.
Exclusions, buying triggers, tier logic, and named-account rationale.
- Include
- Operational pain, narrow buyer universe, visible trigger
- Exclude
- Generic category fit, stale intent, weak route to buyer
Message angles written from account context, not generic persona pain.
Email, LinkedIn, warm path, founder POV, or direct mail only when earned.
- Data fields change the route
- Copy references a real signal
- Follow-up owner is clear
Ways to work
Start with the account map. Build only what the market justifies.

Fit
For markets where fit and timing matter.
Good fit
- Founder-led B2B with a real offer and a narrow buyer universe.
- Commerce infrastructure, fulfilment, logistics, gifting, AI GTM, workflow SaaS, or B2B services.
- Useful market knowledge, but underbuilt account selection, tooling, or follow-up.
Not the fit
- Generic SDR outsourcing or high-volume cold email blasting.
- Pure AI automation without a commercial GTM outcome.
- No account hypothesis, proof, or clear reason buyers should care.
