The first State of GTM Engineering report just dropped.

228 respondents. 32 countries. 3,400+ job postings analyzed.

Here's what surprised me the most:

1. The median age is 25. 

54% of GTM Engineers are under 27. This is a Gen Z function. In addition, a big part of the respondents have little experience in other revenue-influenced departments.

It raises the question of whether it actually matters to have prior experience in Sales, Marketing, etc. to fill this role.

2. 68% hold no meaningful equity.

Yet 72% report direct, measurable revenue impact. That's a massive disconnect. If you're building the engine that generates pipeline, you should have skin in the game (at least have a variable attached to it).

3. Clay is the most loved AND most frustrating tool.

84% adoption, 96% among agencies. But also the highest frustration score. Anyone who's debugged a 40-step Clay table at 11 PM knows exactly what this means 😉 

4. Coding = $45K salary premium.

High-code GTMEs earn a median of $135K vs $90K for low/no-code. And with Cursor and Claude Code at 70%+ adoption, the barrier to "technical" is dropping (very) fast.


One thing I'd love to see covered next time: the European GTM Engineering landscape. Only 17% of respondents were from Europe, and yet the market here is evolving fast: different tools, different pricing, different legal constraints (hello GDPR).

Big kudos to Garrett Wolfe, Alex Lindahl and Maja Voje for putting this together. The GTM Engineering community needed it.

One last thought: the report shows 72% of GTMEs already do sales ops/CRM admin, 60% handle dashboarding, and 42% own forecasting/attribution. Is the convergence between GTM Engineering and Revenue Operations getting closer and closer?

I recently had the chance to spill some beans with Sönke Venjacob about CRM and RevOps on his podcast.                  

There's a pattern I've seen across 40+ companies: everyone's chasing new leads while CRM discipline has been neglected.

Here's what actually moves the needle:

 → Data enrichment and hygiene are ongoing revenue levers, not a one-time cleanup project you do in Q1 and forget about
 → Build your workflows WITH your sales reps, not FOR them. Adoption isn't a training problem, it's a design problem
 → Automate what drains your team's time: templates, stage transitions, follow-up reminders. Free them up for the conversations that actually close deals
 → And before you scale anything, get your foundation right. Discovery, Demo, Negotiation, Close. Simple stages, tracked religiously

RevOps isn't about making things more complex. It's about making the right things bulletproof so your team can focus on building genuine relationships.

That's where revenue actually comes from.

GTM Advisor & AI Solutions - Aspiring Vibe Coder 🏄🏽‍♂️

Reinventing yourself every day is the only way to keep up with this fast paced world. Let's question everything !

Once again, Smartlead reshuffled the cards of outbound.

Yesterday they shipped the CLI. Built specifically for Claude Code.
Here's what that means in practice.
Before, my setup looked like this:
→ Upload lists manually in the UI
→ Copy-paste sequences campaign by campaign
→ Build complex Clay or Make automations to push leads
Now I give Claude Code a full outbound strategy. Signal-based. 6 campaigns. 4-touch sequences. 6 warming mailboxes.

It builds everything. Programmatically. In 10 minutes!

Here's the real shift for GTMs:
🐢   Before : you either needed to be technical, or you were stuck in the UI.
🏎️  Now : describe your strategy in plain language. Claude Code reads it. The CLI executes it.

Non-technical GTMs just got programmatic power.

Simply copy the command below in Claude Code with your API key and watch Claude work its magic. You're Welcome.

npm install -g @smartlead/cli

Who else is rethinking their outbound stack right now?
