You're the Entire Sales Team

Most Seed to Series A founders I talk to are stuck in the same loop when they try to scale into new regions.

No Pipeline System

You're closing deals yourself between product calls. Outbound is random DMs at midnight. Referrals are your only real channel — and they don't scale.

The €90K Gamble

You know you need a sales hire — and a junior won’t carry a new-market motion. A capable mid-level SDR in Europe is a €60–90K/yr fully-loaded bet, and SaaStr’s surveys put first sales-leadership hires at ~70% failure inside 12 months.

Generic Outbound = Ignored

Every AI outreach tool promises "personalization at scale," and they all produce variations of the same template. Recipients can tell within the first sentence. The inbox filter is unconscious by now: if it sounds like the last seven you got, you ignore it.

What You Actually Need

A system that outlives any hire. ICP scoring, signal-based sequences, agents that research before they write. Built in ~4 weeks. Documented for handoff.

Two Founders I Build For

Most engagements look like one of these two.

The 2-Person Team That Should Cover 5

You have two sales people. You don’t want a third, fourth, or fifth — you want the two you have to perform like five. What multiplies them is a system underneath them, not another hire: ICP scoring that filters who they touch, signal-based research that means they walk into every conversation already informed, and sequences that get read because the message is grounded in real intel. Same team, multiples of the territory covered.

The Founder Testing a New Market Alone

You’re running sales yourself and expanding into a new market. You don't want to hire your first rep there until you've proven the channel works. The problem: you can't research, score, and run discovery calls while running the company. The fix: a system that prepares five fully-researched prospects every morning for the new market. You open your laptop and start sending — no three-hour research detour first.

Built On What Actually Booked Meetings

GTMiQ runs on a private library of LinkedIn messages that booked meetings and call transcripts from conversations that closed — 2.5 years of pattern data encoded into Claude skills that now power every engagement. Every sequence I write for a client draws from what’s actually worked across hundreds of real B2B conversations, not from templates that sound good in isolation.

Response rate isn’t magic. It’s the system forcing thoroughness before the writing — when the research is deep, the outreach reads as written by someone who actually understands the recipient.

4 Weeks to Build. Then Yours to Run, or Mine.

I come in, build the system, and document everything. Then your team runs it (Build & Handoff) — or I run it for you and drop booked meetings into your calendar (Build & Run). Your total time investment: 2–3 hours across the four weeks.

01

ICP Scoring Framework

We define who's actually worth talking to. Scores prospects 0-100 based on real signals — funding stage, growth urgency, team size, tech stack fit. Bad leads get killed before your team sees them. No exceptions.

Week 1
02

The Research Engine

n8n workflows + Claude agents that score, research, and draft outreach without manual input. Leads show up in your CRM with research attached — you decide what to do with them.

Week 2
03

Signal-Based Outreach Sequences

Every message references real data about each prospect — their recent funding, hiring patterns, product launches, competitive moves. The research happens before the writing. That's why replies come back.

Week 3
04

Documented Playbook + Handoff

ICP criteria, sequence templates, scoring logic, escalation rules, automation workflows — all documented. Live Loom walkthrough of every workflow. Your team runs the system without me. The deliverable is something your team can operate on day one.

Right Fit, Wrong Fit

GTMiQ isn't for everyone. Here's how to know if this makes sense for you.

Good Fit

  • Seed to Series A B2B SaaS or tech company
  • Scaling sales into new regions where nobody knows you yet
  • Small sales team (2–6 people) or founder still doing it alone
  • You want a documented system your team can run
  • You’re ready to commit to a 3-month engagement to prove the motion before scaling

Not a Fit

  • You want a magic tool, not a system
  • You're pre-product with no customers yet
  • You already have a senior sales team and defined playbook
  • You have no budget for a paid engagement
  • You just want "more emails sent faster"

Where this sits against hiring and tooling

Different shape, different outcome. A mid-level SDR costs €60–90K/yr fully loaded. A tool subscription costs €50-500/mo forever. GTMiQ either builds you a system and hands it over — or builds it and runs it for you.

David Mustač

David Mustač, founder of GTMiQ Zagreb · CET

GTMiQ is a signal-based outbound system for B2B SaaS companies scaling into new regions. I run it out of Zagreb. The methodology comes from 2.5 years of running B2B outreach on LinkedIn and studying transcripts from sales calls that actually closed — packaged into Claude skills that power every engagement. Every sequence GTMiQ writes draws from what’s worked across hundreds of real conversations, not from templates. Now applied to B2B SaaS founders scaling sales into markets where they’re unknown.

The thesis: outbound is a research problem. Every message should reference a real fact about the prospect. If your system can’t do that at scale, you shouldn’t be sending 1,000 emails a week.

Common Questions

B2B SaaS or tech companies, Seed to Series A, scaling sales into new regions where nobody knows them yet. Small sales team (2–6 people) or founder still doing most of it. You have a product that works. You don't have a system that consistently puts qualified meetings on your team's calendar. That's the shape.

Apollo, Clay, Instantly are tools you can buy off the shelf. GTMiQ is the operator who configures the right tools for your situation, builds the ICP logic, designs the automation workflows, and writes the sequences. Most startups have access to the same software. What differentiates a working outbound function is the methodology behind how it gets used.

A sales coach optimizes how your existing team sells. A fractional CRO runs a team you already have. Both assume the pipeline exists. GTMiQ builds the pipeline infrastructure first — what goes into the top of your funnel, how leads get scored, which messages go out. Coach + CRO make sense once that system is running.

Access to your existing tools (if any), 2–3 hours of your time over ~4 weeks for ICP workshops and feedback loops, and a clear idea of who your customer is. I handle everything else.

A mid-level SDR in Europe runs €60–90K/yr fully loaded — and a junior won’t carry a new-market motion. Add 3 months of ramp, and it still might not work out. I build a system in ~4 weeks that runs with or without a person. When you do hire, they inherit a working playbook instead of starting from scratch.

Two paths. Build & Handoff: you have a complete system with documentation, your team runs it from day one. Build & Run: I run it for the following 8 weeks — sends, replies, calendar bookings. After that, the Monthly Retainer is optional — your team runs the system, I keep optimizing it.

Build & Handoff carries a quality guarantee — if any deliverable misses the agreed spec, I rework it at no extra cost. Build & Run guarantees are scoped per engagement and written into the contract — we agree on the target before kickoff.

The system is built so this doesn't matter. Everything is documented from day one — ICP logic, scoring, sequences, workflows, plus Loom walkthroughs of every part. Build & Handoff clients run it without me by design. If anything happens mid-engagement, you keep a complete, operable system — nothing lives in my head.

No. Fixed price, no commission, no equity. I'm a consultant building a system, not a partner sharing in your revenue. The incentive is to build something good enough that you want to stay on retainer — not to ride your sales.

First thing I do in the Build is audit what you have — Apollo, HubSpot, HighLevel, Attio, Pipedrive. I plug into whatever you're running. If something’s missing, I recommend cheapest-good-enough options. I don’t push you to change tools unless the tool is genuinely broken for signal-based outbound.

Yes — because the volumes are deliberately low. Signal-based outbound means ~5 well-researched prospects per rep per week, not hundreds of automated sends. Messages are individually written and approved before anything goes out. Nothing about the pattern looks automated, because the writing isn't.

I'm based in Zagreb. Work mostly with European startups — London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Paris, across CEE. Same or close timezone, EU invoicing (reverse-charge VAT), no complications. I work with US companies too when the fit makes sense.
