Founder

I'm launching a new content series, and I'd love to invite you to be part of it.

It's called Understanding Demand - not the tactics we do in demand generation, but rather how demand itself works from the market perspective.

Demand is not created by marketing, but by consumers and the market itself, and when the conditions of the market are different, it impacts the effectiveness of marketing more than anything we do.

My belief, and the culmination of my marketing experience, is that when we better understand the market and how it operates, we can do more effective marketing that reflects it.

This series will strongly be part of the content I produce here on LinkedIn, but I'm expanding it into long-form content across a podcast, video series, newsletter, and blog posts to cover topics in more depth.

If this sounds like something you'd like to be part of, sign-up to the mailing list and I'll share the content and updates directly:

Brand Marketer | Storybook Marketing | MarTech contributor

There's a famous quote from the economist John Maynard Keynes, that "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

He was speaking about investing but it has just as much application to marketing, because many a better product has come and gone, failing to change the status quo.

The majority of the market, as it often turns out, will embrace the status quo for a lot longer than the quality of incumbent options would have challenger brands believe.

Change usually happens at the fringe edges of the market, by those risk-tolerant few who are seeking better or segments who are much more underserved than the majority. 

The amount who make up these groups depends a lot on the category, and the current economic conditions surrounding it. But it's here at the fringes of categories that disruption occurs and often where it remains, leaving the center intact.

This is the reality of markets, and it can feel like irrational behavior to those trying to deliver better solutions to real problems.

It's also where marketing is uniquely positioned to help the company succeed. 

Marketing has, sadly, been reduced in its scope across industries, and a major consequence is the inability to develop strategy at a market-level.

We hyper-target for conversion, trusting technology and AI to find the exact people who want to buy a product like ours, but over time have lost the skill to know why many of those same people are unlikely to do so.

Markets are hard to change because most people actively resist risk and change until the cost of doing to becomes higher than the status quo or until a new status quo arrives. 

Budget can easily run out when trying to cause that change through conversion efforts, even when armed with a better product and a strong offer.

The real solution is for marketing to better understand the market - especially about who in it are underserved or unsatisfied and may provide the entry point. And, from there, what needs to happen through brand marketing to prevent a lifetime at the fringe.

That all happens when marketers can gain a bird's eye view of the market in the form of research and understanding, and how to navigate the market dynamics that can feel so very irrational to the non-marketers at the executive table.

There's a very big difference between trying to get someone to start thinking of you and preventing them from forgetting you - and a lot of the brand marketing we talk about is the latter.

Big brand campaigns, the ones that win awards and make waves in the marketing community, usually come from established brands who are trying to create new relevance through playful messaging and exploration of the brand assets.

It's fun to see and discuss, and plenty hard to do well, but it's also the outlier example of what brand marketing usually is.

It has also skewed a lot of how companies think about brand marketing, with it being often thought of as the fun, quirky, and expensive campaigns that rarely if ever talk about the product.

It's no surprise that brand gets neglected in budget talks in favor of more performance marketing when seen only like this.

The truth is that most effective brand marketing is delivering very product-centric messaging, and so it can be easily confused for performance kind - and made ineffective by being pushed to act more like it in the CTA and measurement.

Brand marketing isn't all about trying to make people feel things about you, while performance is about getting them to take action and buy you. 

That's a false choice where one will obviously win out over the other.

Rather, good marketing promotion is about trying to get as many people to know who you are, what you do, and when to think of you, and then performance is all about making sure you don't miss the opportunities that come along as people are ready to act.

That's brand and demand as a cohesive promotional team, working as a combo that is bigger than the sum of its parts.

As opposed to a false set of options you need to choose from, where one is fuzzy and wasteful and the other delivers results efficiently. 

No such reality exists that leads to being a big brand.

GTM, AI & Outbound | LinkedIn Content & Social Selling for high-growth agencies, AI/SaaS startups & consulting businesses | Open for collaborations

Hi, I’m Arpit. I build growth systems by combining LinkedIn content, social selling, and GTM workflows.

I’ve been in marketing, ops, and GTM for 6+ years, with the last 2.5 years deep in outbound and social selling. 

In that time I’ve:
→ Worked with 50+ B2B clients across SaaS, fintech, and services
→ Scaled GTM engines inside agencies
→ Reported directly to 15+ founders and CMOs
→ Built outreach systems delivering 300+ replies per month
→ Fixed inbox placement from 20% to 90% in 10 days
→ Automated more than 10,000 touchpoints each month

Who I work with:
→ Founders making $20K to $100K per month who need predictable growth
→ GTM teams scaling sales and content but lacking systems
→ Agencies that want inbound and outbound working together

What I do:
→ LinkedIn content and social selling playbooks
→ Cold outreach and deliverability fixes
→ Trigger-based workflows across LinkedIn and email
→ Full GTM systems including automation, dashboards and SOPs

Currently, I’m a GTM Engineer at Content Path helping B2B brands turn content and outbound into one scalable growth engine.

If you’re looking to align content, outbound, and systems into a GTM engine that compounds over time, DM me.

One of the hardest parts of sending 20K emails/month?

Email infrastructure setup.

The situation usually looks harmless.

Replies slow down.
The opens still look fine.
Nothing is obviously broken.

So teams assume it’s copy.
Or personalization.
Or the offer.

But that’s rarely the reason.

This happens because email infrastructure doesn’t fail loudly.
It degrades quietly.

Mailboxes burn.
Reputation slips.
Deliverability drops before dashboards warn you.

That’s why I’ve trusted Maildoso for over a year.

It fixes the boring part of outbound. And that boring part matters.

What made me stick with Maildoso:

• 98%+ inbox placement, even to Outlook
• In-house SMTP. No resold nonsense
• IP rotation that keeps things clean
• Self-healing mailboxes so campaigns don’t just… die
• $1.80–$2.50 per inbox, domains included

What Maildoso gave me wasn’t hacks or hype. 

It gave me predictability.

Outbound stopped feeling fragile. 

Replies started making sense again.

If you’re scaling cold email and replies dip without a clear reason…

It’s worth checking whether the problem is really email copy… 

or the infrastructure underneath it.


P.S. See the link in comments to check it out for yourself

I’ve been using HeyReach for 2+ years now.
What I’ve noticed every single time:
They ship fast when users ask for something.

Creators ask.
Customers ask.
Updates show up.

That’s the kind of product behavior GTM engineers respect.

A few weeks ago, they rolled out 2 updates.

Nothing flashy. But if you run LinkedIn outbound seriously, you’ll get why these matter.

1️⃣ Manager role

Access control used to be annoying.

You either gave someone Admin access 
or locked them down so much that they couldn’t really operate.

Now there’s a proper middle layer.

Managers can work inside external workspaces, run campaigns, manage users, see what matters without touching billing or permission settings.

If you work with agencies, contractors, or shared GTM teams, this removes a lot of unnecessary coordination.

2️⃣ Workspace API

This one’s clearly built for GTM engineers.

It covers the boring parts of scaling LinkedIn outbound
the stuff you normally fix with spreadsheets and Slack messages.

You can now:

• Create and manage workspaces
• Pull users by role or invite status
• Invite Managers, Admins, Members
• Create API keys per workspace
• Connect it with Make, Zapier, n8n, MCP, Public API

Which matters when you’re onboarding clients or spinning up new GTM pods regularly.

These aren’t exciting updates.

But they make your outbound setup easier to live with.

And that’s usually a sign the product is built for real operators.


Do you use HeyReach.io in your GTM stack or workflow?

I’ve been using Trigify.io for 1.5+ years now.

Now, I’ve been tracking 25+ LinkedIn profiles on it, mostly for my clients.

And one thing is very clear to me:

Posting on LinkedIn isn’t the hard part. 
Tracking what happens after is.

Most people stop at “posting consistently”.
That’s where the real problem starts.

What usually goes wrong...

1. Everyone tries to create content for their ICP
– very few do it consistently
– even fewer attract the right people

2. Some posts get engagement
– likes
– comments
– profile visits

3. And then… nothing
– no tracking
– no follow-up
– no system

That’s wasted INTENT.

What actually works (when you track it):

1. Lead magnet → warm outbound

→ Post a lead magnet
→ Track who engages with it
→ Enrich those profiles
→ Use that list for outbound

You’re no longer cold. You’re starting with context.

2. Competitor & creator engagement

→ Track engagement on competitor posts
→ Or people consistently posting in your niche
→ Scrape those interactions
→ Enrich the data

Now you’re reaching out to people who are already active in the problem space.

3. Keyword-based intent signals (underrated)

→ Track engagement around keywords like:

   ~ “intent signals”
   ~ “GTM Engineer”
   ~ “RevOps”

→ Build lead lists from those conversations

→ Reuse them for:
   ~ outbound
   ~ content ideas
   ~ account research

Same signal. Multiple plays.


Why I’ve stuck with Trigify.io, it’s not because it’s flashy. But how it turns LinkedIn activity into usable intent.

Post-level tracking.
Profile-level monitoring.
Keyword-level listening.

And now, workflows make this operational. 

Instead of exporting data, stitching tools, and manually following up, you can:
- track engagement
- enrich profiles
- route data where it needs to go
- trigger next steps automatically

They’ve also been adding integrations around enrichment, sequencing, and data sync, which makes these workflows practical in real GTM setups.

But the core idea stays the same: 

If you’re already creating content and doing outbound, you should be tracking who’s raising their hand.

Otherwise, you’re guessing. And guessing doesn’t scale.

This is the difference between posting content and building a system.

Do you actually know who’s engaging with your content?
