Helping Founders & GTM Leaders Go-to-Market Collaboratively | Founder of RevGenius community of 40k+ GTM leaders | Startup Advisor | “The most important thing you can do in sales and life is be a homie” - Bloomberg

The loudest don't win. The most resonant do.

I help founders turn audiences into movements - not through marketing noise, but through authentic connection that compounds.

I've built this playbook firsthand:
- Grew RevGenius from 0 to 55,000 members and 7-figure revenue in 3 years
- Scaled multiple startups from zero to 7 figures, including 2 exits
- Now advising 12+ SaaS startups on audience-led growth

Here's what I've learned: The companies that create new categories don't compete for attention - they create their own gravity. They build audiences that become movements. That's The Resonance.

I work with founders and GTM leaders to:
- Clarify their POV so it cuts through the noise
- Build audiences and communities that compound over time
- Create category-defining movements, not just marketing campaigns

If you're ready to build through resonance instead of noise, let's connect.

Launched a newsletter helping Founders, Fractionals and GTM Leaders go-to-market collaboratively.

Evan Dunn, VP of Marketing at TitanX, has a 42% CRO booking rate.

Not 10%. Not 15%. 42%.

That's not a better sequence. That's not a better opener. That's a massive ICP shift unlock.

Evan stopped trying to create urgency where it didn't exist. Instead he went looking for teams that were structurally required to care about his product.

His signal? Job descriptions.

Not open roles. The actual JDs for people already in-seat. If someone was hired 9 months ago to build an outbound motion, that priority is baked into the business. It doesn't decay in 48 hours like an intent alert.

He pulled JDs for five title sets across 28,000 accounts. Ran AI agents to scan for three signals. Validated against their CRM.

Companies fitting the criteria were 15X more likely to become customers. The pipeline they were actively working? Only 6.5X.

That 9X gap is where their growth was hiding. They weren't even calling their best accounts.

Targeting the wrong cutomers created a 9X opportunity cost. 

This isn't chasing intent signals that tell you someone did something. Job descriptions tell you how a business is built.

Stop convincing people they have a problem. Find the ones who already know.

I help founders create markets, not fight for them 🏴‍☠️

Tuesday I walked into a room where I was clearly the least experienced operator.

Exactly where I needed to be.

I co-moderated a GTM leadership roundtable for Level Equity's portfolio companies alongside two absolute forces: Lacey Larson and Jen Flanagan.

My role? Share real GTM war stories from our 60K+ member community-the messy challenges, the breakthrough moments, and how leaders actually thought through people, process, and tools when everything was on the line.

Listening to Lacey and Jen break down how they've scaled teams and built GTM engines reminded me why I love this work.

The best learning happens when you're slightly uncomfortable.

When you're surrounded by operators who've done what you're trying to do- at bigger scale, with more complexity, under more pressure.

That's the magic of putting community + real operator experience in the same room.

(Photo: Lacey and me post-roundtable. Still processing everything I learned.)

Met with George Vlasyev yesterday at my new 'co-creating' space The Lighthouse.

Been getting so much life from the space and had the opportunity to use one of their podcast studios to be interviewed on a range of AI GTM topics.

The future of search, Audience Engineering, ads in llms (OpenAI 👀), video and so much more.

George is bullish on video in funnels and has mastered it. 

Even more importantly, he's going to be moving to NYC (putting it out there), to double down on his startup and aspirations.

Video episode dropping soon. 

Thank you for your time homie.

Follow him, he's going to do massive things.

Most reps see a signal and think buying intent. And it's absolutely killing their reply rates.

Leslie Venetz calls it what it actually is: noise you're creating for yourself.

She's been doing signal-based outreach since 2009. Her take: every signal puts your prospect in one of three buckets. And most reps treat them all the same.

Problem Unaware: they just changed jobs. They don't know what's about to hit them. Don't pitch. Deposit value. Leslie waited two weeks after a new CPO trigger, then sent a 3-page guide on how to nail the first 100-day internal roadshow. No ask. Just relevance.

Option Unaware: they're attending webinars, downloading content, figuring out what "good" even looks like. Stop pushing them to a demo. Keep educating. Become the resource they trust before the decision is made.

Vendor Aware: they're on your pricing page. Now get out of the way. Answer the question. Use video. Remove barriers. Stop forcing a 45-minute demo on someone who asked one thing.

The shift: from "what's my in?" to "what do they actually need right now?"

Companies she's seen making this shift went from 0.02% to 20-30% open and reply rates.

Not by sending more. By sending what actually earns the next email.

Have you checked out what Relevance AI is building?

Excited about partnering with them at RevGenius. Have some great programming in the community we are rolling out.

They’re crushing it from down under (Australia) and establishing a bigger presence in the states.

Relevance AI allows Ops and Growth teams to build and manage an entire AI workforce in one powerful visual platform. 

This allows you to build custom agents in seconds and manage complex workflows with full context.

More importantly, they’re going to be helping GTM leaders learn how through some killer programming.

Stay tuned!

🤯

THE GTM ENGINE JUST FOUND ITS TURBO. 🚀

The gap between "having AI" and "scaling AI" is where most GTM teams are getting stuck. We're officially closing that gap today by welcoming Relevance AI to the RevGenius partner ecosystem.

Relevance AI allows Ops and Growth teams to build and manage an entire AI workforce in one powerful visual platform. While most tools give you a single assistant, they provide a team of autonomous agents that deliver human-quality work across your entire engine. This allows you to build custom agents in seconds and manage complex workflows with full context.

We’re obsessed with bringing you the tools that actually move the needle. Relevance AI is a massive addition to how we’ll build the future of GTM together.

About a year ago I met Mike. 

I can't tell you the positive impact he had on my journey. (and he probably doesn't even realize it)

I was burning out fast and felt like I was all alone. Burning out and feeling alone is a really difficult combo.

Even running a 60k+ person community, it's possible to feel alone.

We were speaking about collaborating on a project at the time.

We'd have conversations I'd yearned to have with somebody who's been in my situation. Has been successful.  He gave me space to open up and to not feel so alone.

He became a guide for me over a relatively short period of time. 

Following, I made some tough decisions and placed some bets. Not all of them panned out. 

But that's ok, my sleepless nights became fewer and further between. 

I felt more in control - even with failed bets and through tough times.

The tough times made me a stronger operator. More seasoned.

My love for growing our community grew stronger than ever in the process.

And today, I'm exactly where I need to be.

We caught up last week and snapped this picture. I'm sure he could sense a shift in me.

All because he was a friend before business.

If you're just repeating 'congrats on raising a round of funding' you're driving zero connection. And they probably don't even know they have a problem

The problem unaware bucket is where you can drive the most impact to revenue by changing your mindset.

Interviewed Leslie Venetz for our newsletter.

She's been doing signal-based outreach since 2009. Her take: every signal puts your prospect in one of three buckets. And most reps treat them all the same.

In this clip, she discusses the problem unaware one.

They just changed jobs and don't know what's about to hit them. 🤣

Her suggestion is to not pitch and deposit value. Leslie would wait two weeks after a new CPO trigger, then sent a 3-page guide on how to nail the first 100-day internal roadshow. 

Just straight value. 

How are you leveraging nuance with signal-led outreach?
