GTM Vault

Riley Timmins runs growth at Kintsugi, and he rebuilt the function around one number: what it costs to find out whether a campaign works. He takes a California use tax campaign from a blank brief through account list, angle, creative, launch and attribution in one sitting, with no engineer in the path. He screen-shares the Meta ads manager he built himself in about a week, the worth-it gate that kills a campaign before anyone makes an asset, the pause engine that clears room for the next batch, and the attribution agent that reads every first sales call and catches paid search taking credit for demand an answer engine created. He also names the two things he will not automate.This episode of Show Me Your Stack is presented by Primer.Show Me Your Stack is a GTM Vault series: operators screen-share the GTM stack they run.Timestamps:(0:00) The Campaigns That Get Priced and Then Quietly Killed(1:23) The Brief, and Giving Each Agent One Job(2:36) Querying Every Sales Call for the Angle(4:11) The Worth-It Gate That Runs Before Any Asset Is Made(6:01) The Ad Manager He Built in a Week(8:48) The Ten Thousand Dollar Idea That Used to Get Killed(12:51) The Attribution Agent That Reads Every First Call(14:56) The Pause Engine, and Why Pausing Is the Constraint(19:54) What a Two Person Team Should Copy First(23:35) Ten Eighty Ten, and Not Automating What You Cannot Do YourselfLinks:https://www.gtmvault.co/p/smys-10-the-expensive-campaign-you-never-ranhttps://youtu.be/nbMKWyllSB4https://www.linkedin.com/in/riley-timmins-4a264b96/https://trykintsugi.com/https://sayprimer.comhttps://gtmvault.co/

Every vendor in your inbox is selling a signal, and most teams pick the best one and wire it to a sequence. The data says that is the wrong question. Accounts carrying more than eight signals generate nineteen times the opportunities of accounts carrying one or two, while the best single signal in B2B, champions on the move, tops out at about twelve percent on its own.Christian Kletzl built UserGems on that one signal, in a one-week build in a cabin in the Austrian Alps that sold its first contract for $50,000. The co-founder and CEO explains why he has spent the years since moving past it.What is in the episode:Why if-this-then-that routing spends your best information on whichever signal fires first, and burns the account for six months doing it.How twenty million accounts and six hundred attributes become one ICP ranking, built by comparing your customers against everyone who never bought.The two exceptions that should still fire instantly, and why everything else belongs in a daily ranked list of fifteen.Why a ten percent error rate is where reps stop trusting a signal motion, whatever its coverage, and the case against waterfall enrichment.How UserGems doubled SDR-generated opportunities from nine to nineteen a month and kept the calls human.Where Gem-E stops and the rep starts, going headless over MCP, and publishing pricing so buyers can self-select out.Chapters:(0:00) Cold open: eight signals, nineteen times the opportunities(4:01) A cabin in the Austrian Alps and a one-week build(5:38) Why champions on the move tops out at twelve percent(10:53) The if-this-then-that mistake and what it costs you(13:25) Stacking signals into one daily ranking of fifteen(16:34) Twenty million accounts, six hundred attributes, one ICP score(21:52) Where Gem-E stops and the rep starts(26:34) Going headless over MCP and who owns the outcome(34:41) Data accuracy and the ten percent trust line(37:14) Publishing pricing and the case for self-selecting outAbout UserGems: tracks when a company’s past champions, users and buyers change jobs, then scores that against more than twenty other signal types to rank which accounts and people a revenue team should work on a given day.

Barbaros Ozbugutu co-founded iyzico, led the payments market in Turkey, and closed the exit on December 17, 2019. What it taught him is that one country put a discount on the valuation, a ceiling on the fundraising, and a limit nobody set on purpose. His second company, Donnerstag.ai, was global from day one.This is the first Coffee Walk: one founder, one walk from Galata down to Karakoy in Istanbul, one coffee. No script, no prep doc.What is in the episode:The country discount. Why a market leader in one country still pays for it, and why Donnerstag.ai started with people in Germany, Turkey, Spain, the UK and Dubai.The ERP records, Excel acts. SAP, Oracle and Dynamics hold the data, and every real finance action still happens in a spreadsheet. Three to five percent of revenue leaks, 95 percent of the work is manual, and the close takes 10 to 15 days.Never send financial data into an LLM and ask it to match. The model reads the contracts and writes the rules; the matching runs deterministically, so an auditor can follow every decision.Klarna’s first employee in Germany in 2010, the Deutsche Telekom offer he turned down to move his family to Istanbul, and why there is no playbook in 2026.Full write-up: https://www.gtmvault.co/p/coffee-walk-1Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/o8egbLW0zFwCoffee Walk is a GTM Vault series: Europe’s most experienced founders, one city at a time.

Every GTM engineer runs the same quiet sprawl. An enrichment workflow here, a follow-up agent there, a Zapier chain nobody remembers building, each one solving a real problem and all of them together a second job. Michael Bartimer works inside a CRM workspace running more than a hundred agents and almost none of that sprawl, because they all live in the system of record. The GTM engineer at Clarify joins Show Me Your Stack for episode 9 to walk through the two he is willing to open in public, a website visitor agent and a PQL scoring and routing pair, and to decline the premise the episode was booked on. He does not think the automation layer is being deleted.Show Me Your Stack is a GTM Vault series: operators screen-share the GTM stack they run.Timestamps:(0:00) Cold Open: Over A Hundred Agents Inside One CRM(0:40) The Sprawl Every GTM Engineer Is Quietly Running(3:49) Inside The Agents Section: The Website Visitor Agent(4:42) How He Briefs Rep: A Ramble, A Ticket, Or A PRD(6:42) The Stale Data Problem And The LinkedIn Fix(9:07) Reading A Live Run, And How Fast It Stood Up(11:02) Start With Visibility: Why Slack Is Step One(12:31) The PQL Agent: Seven Signals Out Of 100(14:34) Four Routing Paths And The Ten To Twenty Second Review(18:20) Why He Calls It Consolidation, Not DeletionLinks:Read the full breakdown: https://www.gtmvault.co/p/smys-9-the-first-thing-a-signal-agent-6ecWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@gtmvaultCheck out Clarify: https://www.clarify.aiRead GTM Vault: https://www.gtmvault.co

Every vendor in revenue AI is pointed the same way. Automate the seller, draft the outbound, hand the follow-up to an agent. Ariel Hitron has been running the other way since 2019, building AI that plays the buyer so the seller gets better. His argument is that an enterprise signing off on fifty thousand or five hundred thousand dollars is not buying capability at all. It is buying someone whose own standing inside the company is on the line when it breaks.In this episode Ariel breaks down the two variables that draw the line between an agent conversation and a human one, why a playbook scattered across four surfaces cannot be trained against until it is compiled into one model, why the scoring layer beats a sales manager on patience rather than judgment, why enterprises are unbundling their enablement suite upward, and why every in-house roleplay build decays after the hackathon.This is not a conversation about sales training. It is a conversation about who owns the playbook layer once every platform ships roleplay as a feature.Timestamps:(0:00) Who Do You Hold Accountable When It Breaks(1:38) The Category Automates the Seller.
