The GTM bets that shouldn't have worked, and did
One grew revenue 50x after half his team quit over the strategy. One brought in 50K signups in a single day with no paid budget. One generated 100M+ views from a stunt that took 50 hours to conceive. One asked every prospect to demo the product themselves instead of demoing it for them.
None of them followed the safe playbook. They treated GTM like an experiment, moved before they had proof, and made bets most founders would never get approved.

We Let AI Run Our Follow-Up Process
The surprising results from handing 90% of our follow-up to automation
Most deals aren't lost because of bad discovery. They're lost because of inconsistent follow-up. A prospect leaves a great meeting. The rep gets busy. Notes pile up. Follow-up gets delayed by a day or two. Momentum fades. The opportunity quietly cools off. Sound familiar?
This is exactly why many top-performing sales teams are using AI to automate large portions of their follow-up process. And the results are surprising. Not because AI is writing better emails. Because it's making sure follow-up actually happens.
The biggest breakthrough isn't automation itself. It's speed and consistency. Today, AI can automatically generate meeting summaries, draft follow-up emails, schedule next-step reminders, create CRM tasks, and even personalize outreach based on conversation notes captured during calls.
Instead of spending 20 minutes after every meeting writing emails and updating records, reps can review, edit, and send in under two minutes. That changes everything. One workflow we see working exceptionally well looks like this:
A sales call ends. The meeting recording is transcribed automatically. AI generates a summary, extracts action items, drafts a follow-up email, updates the CRM, and schedules reminders for agreed next steps.
The rep reviews everything before sending. Total time invested: less than three minutes. The key is understanding what should be automated and what should remain human. The scheduling? Automate it. The CRM updates? Automate them. The first draft? Automate it.
Relationship building, negotiation, and strategic conversations? Keep those human. That's where trust is created. The best teams aren't using AI to replace communication. They're using it to eliminate delays.
And in sales, speed creates momentum. Momentum creates deals.
