GTM engineering

Definition

GTM engineering is building the data, automation and AI systems that run go-to-market, so outbound and pipeline come from a machine rather than manual effort.

GTM engineering in practice

A GTM engineer treats outbound like software. Signals are detected on a schedule, data is enriched through code and APIs, accounts are scored by rules, sequences are triggered automatically, and every outcome is logged. The result is a system that compounds: the hundredth meeting costs less to produce than the first.

IV's GTM engineering practice sits inside the four steps of the Pinpoint framework: signal map, data layer, score and route, sequence and CRM. Each step ends in something the client keeps, in their own accounts.
