What is GTM engineering?

GTM engineering (go-to-market engineering) is the discipline of turning sales and marketing tasks such as finding target accounts, data enrichment, scoring, personalization and routing into automated workflows using data tools, the CRM and automation platforms. GTM here stands for go-to-market, not Google Tag Manager.

A typical workflow

  1. Build a company list based on the ICP
  2. Enrich company and contact data from multiple sources
  3. Score with intent and growth signals
  4. Generate personalization inputs for messaging
  5. Push to the CRM and outbound tool automatically, with assignment

How it relates to RevOps

RevOps manages the whole revenue process and its data; GTM engineering automates the repetitive research and data work within that process. Tools such as Clay, Apollo, CRMs and Make, n8n or Zapier are used together.

Why it matters

It cuts the time the sales team spends on research and applies the same targeting rules to every record. Related service: GTM engineering and Clay.
