We build the outbound engine. Your team keeps it.

GrowthStack Advisory builds B2B lead generation and go-to-market systems for growth-stage teams: targeting, outbound, playbooks, SDR ramp, CRM and reporting. Most engagements run ninety days and end with the system documented and handed over.

What we build

Six pieces, built in this order

01

GTM strategy and ICP definition

Who to sell to, decided from your own closed deals.

  • Win and loss review across your last twenty closed deals
  • A named account list with verified contacts
  • Segment priorities your reps can defend on a call
ICP and messaging →
02

Outbound engine setup

Email and LinkedIn sequences on infrastructure that delivers.

  • Domains, inboxes and warm-up configured before any volume
  • Channel mix and cadences set per segment
  • Campaigns instrumented so changes can be attributed
The outbound engine →
03

Sales playbook creation

The written standard your team works from.

  • Discovery, objection handling and follow-up, scripted per persona
  • Qualification criteria and stage exit definitions
  • Battlecards for the competitors you lose to most often
SDR coaching and playbooks →
04

SDR and AE hiring and ramp-up

Hiring and onboarding that shortens time to first meeting.

  • Scorecards, interview loop and structured role-plays
  • A thirty, sixty and ninety day ramp plan with weekly targets
  • Call reviews and a coaching cadence from week one
05

CRM setup and RevOps

Reporting the board and the reps both work from.

  • CRM hygiene, stage definitions and required fields
  • Lead source attribution by channel and segment
  • Rep level reporting on activity, meeting quality and conversion
GTM analytics and reporting →
06

Founder coaching on sales execution

Support for founder-led sales before the first hire.

  • Live deal reviews and call shadowing
  • Discovery, pricing and negotiation coaching
  • A handover plan for your first sales hire

Toolstack setup runs alongside all six. See the AI GTM toolstack.

What we look at first

Where pipeline usually breaks

In most engagements the problem is one of these three, and they are worth checking in this order.

01

Targeting the right set of accounts

You know your market. The question is which accounts inside it close fastest.

  • The list is rebuilt from your last twenty wins and losses, not a firmographic filter
  • Reps work a written account list rather than whoever replied last
  • Effort concentrates where it compounds, so this month's learning still applies next month
1.8% 1.8% 1.8% 1.8% 1.8%
02

Messaging that matches the buyer

When reply rates sit under 2%, four things could be causing it.

  • Copy, sequence, sending infrastructure and list quality are separated and tested in order
  • Messaging is written per segment and per persona, not per campaign
  • One variable changes at a time, so a number that moves has a known cause
Meetings booked Closed revenue
03

Qualification applied consistently

Meetings booked climbs. Closed revenue does not move.

  • The qualification standard is written down, trained and enforced at stage exit
  • Reps are coached against that standard in weekly call reviews
  • The activity report and the revenue report start to agree
Who you work with

Two founders who have run a sales organisation together

Both spent three years building the revenue engine at Locus, one leading global sales development, the other running inside sales. The people who scope the work are the people who do it.

Shobhit Gupta

GTM and qualification

Ten years building and running SDR and GTM functions rather than advising on them from outside. He led global sales development at Locus and GoComet, and built the GTM function from scratch at Landmark Group's Logistiq division. He owns targeting, positioning and the qualification standard.

How engagements run

How a ninety day engagement runs

Long enough to build the foundation and see one full attribution cycle. The system stays with your team.

Phase 01

Audit and ICP

Targeting, messaging and infrastructure gaps mapped against your last twenty wins and losses.

Phase 02

Build the engine

Sequences, sending infrastructure, qualification criteria and CRM workflows go live.

Phase 03

Run and coach

Reps execute daily. Weekly call reviews and campaign changes, one variable at a time.

Phase 04

Report and transfer

Reporting goes live, playbooks are written down, and the system moves to your team.

Questions

B2B lead generation and GTM consulting FAQs

What does GrowthStack Advisory do? +

We build lead generation engines, ICP and messaging frameworks, multi-channel outbound sequences, SDR playbooks and coaching, AI toolstack setups, and GTM reporting for growth-stage startups and sales teams.

Who is it for? +

Growth-stage B2B startups and sales teams that need qualified pipeline. Usually founders running founder-led sales, revenue leaders, heads of sales, and SDR or RevOps leaders whose outbound execution, messaging, qualification or reporting is inconsistent.

Do you only advise, or do you execute? +

We execute. Engagements include writing messaging, reviewing sequences, defining qualification criteria, coaching reps, setting up reporting and changing campaigns based on real pipeline data. The objective is to hand over frameworks, workflows and playbooks the team runs internally.

What does AI-led, human-driven mean in practice? +

AI does account research, personalisation, prioritisation, lead scoring, workflow automation and campaign analysis. Human judgement stays on positioning, qualification, conversations and decisions.

How is this different from hiring an SDR agency? +

Most agencies run activity: they send volume and report meetings booked. We build the system underneath, covering targeting, messaging, qualification, infrastructure and reporting, so results can be traced to a cause and your team can eventually run it without us. The full comparison is in SDR agency vs GTM consultant vs in-house.

What is the minimum commitment? +

Most engagements run in ninety day cycles. Shorter diagnostic engagements are available for teams that want a system audit first.
