What are GTM agencies paying for A-player GTM engineers these days? Looking to maybe add 1-2 more in the next few weeks. Im used to paying ~3k/mo + performance(500-2000) Just curious if the market has changed If you know anything about current rates for an Absolute Stallion GTM eng - let me know.

Closed $254k by targeting people based on their beliefs and psychology INSTEAD of the typical headcount and industry filters on Apollo. You could read your prospects' minds before reaching out to them. But instead you send outreach to everyone who matches a broad industry filter and has the right job title. I've been running campaigns targeting people who have certain beliefs and interests The results have been mindblowing. Not necessarily because you get more interest But because the interest is way more intense and people are significantly more impressed. Which also makes the deals easier to close. The source of this data is LinkedIn, same as scrapers like ZoomInfo - but instead we look at how people behave and what they engage with. This used to be expensive or impossible to do - but with tools like GetLeads you can scrape: - Company LinkedIn followers - Engagement on other profiles However, most people just stop there and end up sending a message like - "Hey Aleksandar - you've been engaging with content about outbound - do you want to buy my outbound services?" What you need to do instead is overlay deep research about the company on top: 1. Who are they hiring for in GTM/Sales/Marketing/RevOps 2. What are they saying in the job descriptions 3. What's their tech stack 4. Who do they sell to 5. Who is the leadership team and what's their experience 6. What are they all engaging with 7. Which competitors are they following And then you can use AI to make sense of all of this data at scale. Example - the founder is following content about AI SDRs, but their team seems to lack GTM fundamentals (they are hiring a founding GTM and say in the job description that the ICP is not figured out yet) - so what happens when they put an AI SDR on top of an ICP they haven't figured out? I reached out to a few hundred companies in that exact state, told them why AI SDRs were a bad idea for their specific situation, and what to do with AI instead - because they were clearly very into AI. Below is one of the responses I got, which closed into a really big deal for us. To run campaigns like these you need GetLeads, as they are the best data - and then you put your own deep research on top, depending on what you sell and to whom. Put in the comments who you are targeting and what you are selling, and I will help you come up with a strategy.

Thx Dario for subsidizing my success 💜 💗 Been on a generational run - the last few months and transformed my life Most people are unskilled and create absolute garbage with AI So they give it a bad name BUT... for a few people like me -> AI has allowed me to build ideas I had completely given up on previously So far: -> hired small dev team (2 nootropic abusers) to make a complex custom CRM that would have taken 1year+ -> increased avg. client ROI from ~5x to 8.35x by writing 1-1 AI outbound messages at scale (hundreds of thousands per month) -> Allowed us to take on 60% more clients per team member and increase quality of work at the same time -> deleted production DB for clients 2x (but had backups 🙏 ) -> Cold emailed the finance team at Anthropic for a client using a Claude Fable 5 written message and got a meeting
