Marketing Business Associate

We've been helping B2B SaaS Founders grow profitable businesses over the past decade

Imagine your calendar filling up with sales appointments, hiring a salesperson or team, your revenue increasing, cash accumulating in your business checking account, getting your next round of funding, or seeing a clear exit from your business.

That’s what most DREAM about, yet cease to ever accomplish…

After working with and speaking with hundreds of Software Companies and Startups,

I’ve noticed a pattern of why most SaaS founders can’t scale in their early stages and I’ve distilled it down to three key forces:

Force #1: Generalism: Not solving a specific problem for a specific person or specific business

Without this specialization, the SaaS founder can't capitalize on one of the most powerful Economic forces - Desire. This results in generic marketing and NO demand generation. 

Force #2: Systems: No systems in place to generate consistently qualified meetings that turn into REAL pipeline.

The Founder needs to do all prospecting and sales with inconsistent results each month. 

Force #3: No Sales Operating Procedures - No predictable sales process or sales team in place.

Without a high-converting sales process, it's impossible to scale, let alone remove the Founder from the sales process. Most SaaS Founders haven’t developed the necessary sales skills, or the documentation needed to effectively remove themselves from the sales process.

Now if you are facing any of these forces, I have good news! These are completely avoidable and reversible if you just follow the right process.

At MarcGaudett.com, we are client-obsessed helping SaaS Founders succeed by filling these gaps. Our “North Star” is our clients. Helping them get their first 1M in revenue and then grow to 10M+ in ARR in the fastest, most predictable, and cost-efficient way possible. Our hygiene standard is to help our Founders go from 1-10M in ARR in their first 4 years without any paid advertising.

We’ve spent the last 10+ years dialing in a process that just works!

Some of Our Results
→ Created a 6 figure + business in less than 12 months from scratch
→ Generated Over 4.5M in pipeline in less than 12 months
→ Generated over 4M in sales in a single year and 10M+ in net new business revenue in less than 5 years

If you are a SaaS Founder and want to learn more you can book a time in my calendar (located in my featured section). Alternatively, you can join my weekly newsletter (The Saturday SaaS Founder) which highlights SaaS founders who are actively growing their ARR (see my featured section).

Partner Engine energy.

I was reflecting this morning on what we’ve been building across Partnerships at Instantly.ai (my colleague Aaron. Reid did the same for VIP) — and it hit me how wild the momentum has become.

I don’t have a giant team photo like Aaron posted.

But what we do have is something just as powerful:

👉 Partners who build with us
👉 Teammates from all departments who show up every day to push the ecosystem forward
👉 Integration teams shipping fast
👉 Affiliate/Referral and Integration partners scaling and pushing fast with us
👉 Product & Dev turning the impossible…into infrastructure

And in just the last few months:

⚡ LinkedIn automation partners (Aimfox, HeyReach.io, Valley) helping redefine multi-channel outbound
⚡ CRM platform integrations lining up co-marketing + connected accounts
⚡ Data and enrichment partners expanding what’s possible inside Instantly
⚡ Internal rockstars — Eli Lubimov, @Jose, @Indrek, @Dan Lupasco — building the backbone of the ecosystem
⚡ Dozens of affiliates + agencies driving real revenue every single week

At this point, it feels less like “partnerships”…
and more like a movement.

Ideas flying.
Integrations going live faster than ever.
Co-marketing stacking up.
Everyone rowing in the same direction.
Real passion. Real ownership. Real momentum.

Proud of what we’re building — together.
And honestly? We’re just getting warmed up.

The next chapter starts here. 🚀


(If you want to partner, integrate, or co-market with Instantly — DM me. The ecosystem is wide open right now.)

PS — The image was made with A.I., so Eli Lubimov,Aaron. Reid, Augustin Rialan, Dan, Hans Dekker, Indrek Stern, Jason Kim, Marija Crnojacki, Vadim Smirnov, Yaroslava Tensina… can you guess who is who with some extras? 😂

Jose is missing — and so many others who are part of this growing engine

Leading the Partnerships Team at Instantly | Building $100M+ Partner-Sourced ARR+ Case Study

I made a mistake early in my partnerships career that almost cost me millions in pipeline.

And I still see 90% of SaaS companies making it today.

They treat partnerships like a channel.
Not a system.

Here’s what actually happened:

A few years back, I was working inside a fast-growing SaaS company. We were signing partners fast. Big logos. Big excitement.

But revenue wasn’t moving.

Why?
Because we were doing partnerships the way everyone else does them:

recruit a partner
give them a link
pray

And then blame the partner when nothing happens.

One day a partner told me bluntly:

“Marc, promoting you isn’t the problem…
there’s just nothing compelling or sticky keeping you top of mind.”

That hit hard.
Because he was right.
We weren’t setting them up to win.

So I rebuilt the entire motion from scratch.

And here’s the part nobody talks about:

You don’t get $10M+ partner-sourced ARR by signing partners.
You get it by making sure every partner sees you as a distribution channel.

That’s the shift I’m applying again right now as we work with strategic partners.

Here’s the 3-part system I use (and am still building):

1. Activation beats acquisition
If partners can’t win in 14–21 days, you lose 80% of them forever.

2. Ecosystem > channels
Affiliates, integrations, agencies, and referrals must feed each other — not live in silos.

3. Your partner program is a product
Products need onboarding, positioning, outcomes, and feedback loops.
Most partner programs don’t have any of those.

If you build these three things,
you don’t get a “partner program.”

You get a GTM engine that compounds every month.

And no — attribution won’t be perfect.
If you wait for 100% accuracy, you’ll never scale.
Act on the 80% signal that’s obvious,
and improve the last 20% as you go.

I’m building this system in public as we scale partnerships at Instantly.ai.

If you’re a SaaS company, or a top creator/affiliate and want access to the frameworks as I publish them — or want to work together — connect and DM me “PARTNERS.”

Partnerships don’t scale from one big move.

They scale from 100 small ones done consistently.

The last 60 days at Instantly.ai proved it again:

– Ship integrations fast
– Fix attribution where you can
– Activate affiliates daily
– Remove blockers for dev/marketing
– Keep standards high even when speed is the pressure

That’s the real engine behind partnerships

This quarter we focused on 3 things:

-Speed
-Systems
-Activation

And it’s working: integrations are going live faster, more affiliates are activating every week, and partners are seeing real growth from working with us.

2026 is simple: scale what’s already working

 Let’s build the next wave.

P.S. Great tools deserve distribution. if you think there is alignment - reach out to me.

Most SaaS companies underestimate how much distribution they’re already sitting on.

This week I talked to three different founders — all building great products — and every single one had the same bottleneck:

They weren’t using the distribution they already had.

Affiliates sitting idle
Integrations that weren’t activated
Communities that wanted to promote them but didn’t know how
Partners who loved the idea of collaborating… but had no playbook

What I’ve learned building partnerships is this:

Your product isn’t the growth engine.
Your ecosystem is.

And the moment you get affiliates, communities, integrations, and co-marketing running in one direction, growth becomes predictable.

Here’s the simplified version of the flywheel we’re building right now:

→ Launch integrations fast
→ Build the co-marketing motion and an additional revenue stream for both sides
→ Help each other promote (assets, workflows, playbooks, creator intros, affiliate intros)
→ Track what you can — even if the tracking isn’t perfect yet
→ Improve attribution as you add more tools and bandwidth
→ Highlight wins publicly
→ Repeat

This compounds. Every partner you activate increases the reach of the next.

The number one thing my team focuses on: momentum beats perfection.

Yes, there are things we want to do. Yes, we want cleaner tracking, better dashboards, tighter attribution. But those things take dev work, tools, time — and while you build them, the opportunity window is moving.

So we ask one question consistently:

“Is what I’m doing right now moving the flywheel forward?”

If the answer is no, it’s usually because something “feels” important but is actually an excuse — waiting for X, waiting for Y, waiting for the perfect conditions.

Growth doesn’t wait.
You create it by moving the conversation forward today.

And honestly, if we had waited for everything to be perfect, you wouldn’t be seeing the LinkedIn integrations we just shipped — Aimfox, Valley, HeyReach.io — plus the AI workflows powering it all behind the scenes.

Those came from momentum.
Not perfect conditions.
Just relentless forward motion


Instantly.ai

Resharing this because it’s a big milestone for us Instantly.ai
 — and a huge step forward for Partnerships at Instantly.

Coordinating multi-channel outreach across platforms has always been a challenge. Bringing Aimfox, HeyReach.io, and Valley together with Instantly for our first version of this is a major step toward a fully unified outbound ecosystem.

This took weeks of collaboration across Partnerships, Product, Engineering, Marketing, and each partner’s team — so thank you to everyone involved in making this happen.

Excited for what this unlocks for users, and even more excited for the next partners coming into the automation layer we’re building.

Multi-channel outreach just got way simpler 🎉

Instantly Automations are live! And so are our first integrations with LinkedIn outreach platforms: Aimfox, HeyReach.io and Valley.

These integrations let Instantly connect your email workflows with your preferred LinkedIn outreach tools, so everything stays synced without manual work.

Here’s what this means for you:
☑️ One clean workflow
Email → LinkedIn steps happen inside one system, while all LinkedIn actions are handled by your connected Aimfox/HeyReach/Valley account.
☑️ Fewer manual steps
No more exporting lists, copying profiles, or moving leads between platforms. Instantly sends the right leads to your connected LinkedIn tool automatically.
☑️ Follow up at the perfect moment
If a lead replies or shows interest, Instantly can route them into the correct LinkedIn sequence inside your connected tool, while they’re still warm.

Build your first workflow → instantly.ai

I’ve done the same “back-of-the-napkin math” a hundred times:

“If we ship 10 integrations…
 if we activate 200 affiliates…
 if each partner sends X leads…
 we’ll add $___M in ARR by December.”

The math always looks perfect on paper.
But here’s the real lesson that December is forcing me to internalize:
Momentum doesn’t come from math — it comes from action.

Partnerships only grow when:

we’re shipping integrations weekly, not quarterly
we’re activating partners today, not “after the holidays”
we’re building co-marketing loops in real time
we’re following up immediately, not “when things slow down”

P.S. A reminder of what we’re building — and why the right partners can feel the momentum from day one.
we’re creating quick wins, not waiting for the perfect plan

Everyone loves to forecast.
But many forecasts are just productive procrastination.
If you want explosive growth, it’s not just about modeling it…

It’s about earning it with action.

That’s the December mindset at Instantly.ai:

Small wins daily → compounding momentum → massive Q1.
Run the numbers if you want.
But don’t expect them to be right.

What will be right is the outcome if you take action consistently.

P.S. A reminder for myself and the type of partners we attract

The Partner Flywheel I Wish I Built 5 Years Earlier

Most partner programs die because there’s no flywheel.
Just a list of names and a prayer.

Yesterday I talked about the mistake that almost cost me millions in pipeline.

Today, here’s the system I built after fixing that mistake — the same one I’m applying right now while scaling Instantly’s ecosystem.

It’s simple, but it compounds fast when you execute it with intention:

The 3-Layer Partner Flywheel (that actually scales ARR)

1. Recruit for fit, not volume
Most SaaS companies recruit everyone.
I only recruit partners who have an audience, a distribution engine, or a workflow overlap.

If they don’t already have a “why now,” they won’t perform later.


2. Activate in the first 14 days
The biggest unlock I learned:

If a partner doesn’t win early, they likely won't win later.


My activation sequence is simple:

-a co-branded post we can both use immediately,
-a plug-and-play promo they can deploy today,
-and a clear path to their first 5–10 signups so they feel momentum fast.

Partners need to feel momentum immediately — 14 to 21 days max.


3. Turn their success into distribution
Once they get wins:

feature them
send them more exposure
co-market their workflows/do a webinar
build integration stories around them

Every win becomes a marketing asset.
Every asset attracts the next partner.
Every result can be shared with your affiliates/creators to give them something to engage with

The flywheel spins faster each month if you keep being consistent.

The truth no one tells you:

You don’t scale partner-sourced ARR by collecting partners.

You scale by engineering early wins, then using those wins to pull the next wave of high-quality partners into your ecosystem.

This is how you turn partnerships from “random channel”…
into a GTM engine that feeds itself (and guess we are still building this bigger and better).

The only way this works is when everyone rows in the same direction —
 marketing, sales, creators, affiliates, and the partners themselves. I

If you’re building a real ecosystem (not a directory), DM me “FLYWHEEL” and let’s talk.

Instantly.ai

Multi-channel isn’t a “nice to have” anymore — it’s the new baseline for modern outbound.

This is why I’m excited about the Instantly.ai × HeyReach.io integration.
We’re not just adding features… we’re connecting entire ecosystems.

LinkedIn + Email → automatically synced
Triggers → flowing both ways
Partners → combining strengths instead of competing

This is exactly the type of integration the outbound world has been waiting for — and the kind I’m committed to bringing into the Instantly partner network.

If you want to see how it all works, join the live session 👇

Getting started with multi-channel outreach doesn’t need to be complicated.

We’re hosting a session on Dec 3 to give you a clear, practical look at how the new Instantly.ai × HeyReach.io integration works, and how to use it to simplify your outbound workflow.
