Transforming a startup from early to repeatable sales is HARD.

If you’re a B2B founder with early sales, then you've done many things right to win your first customers.

BUT - to raise a round A, your startup will need to have a product that's ready to scale because it can be 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙮.

To get repeatable sales - there are four blockers. 
 
You'll need to change each one from "not working" to "working": 
 
1️⃣ Consistently creating a 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 of conversations with customers 
 
2️⃣ Converting these conversations into a 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 of first meetings 
 
3️⃣ Converting these meetings into a 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 of trials 
 
4️⃣ Converting trials into a 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 of deals. 
 
These blockers need to be removed 𝙨𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 - i.e. one by one.

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?
