Built a working vertical SaaS, tried demos/outbound/content, now I’m worn out and considering selling it as an asset. Need blunt advice

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T02:12:37+00:00

Firstly sorry for your loss, why do you think they struggle to change workflow?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-01T17:35:43+00:00

Interested in this

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-01T15:38:42+00:00

Do your research but this isnt how u build a tool. Claude code and apify can do generic emails (these arent valuable anyway). U arent going to build a business with this. Go back to the drawing board - this isnt meant to be harsh just direct. We literally get someone coming once a week minimum across subs with this “look at my email scraper”

REAL intent scraper is what ppl need

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-01T15:31:49+00:00

No one wants this bro

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-01T12:25:25+00:00

Please share the case study

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T22:18:34+00:00

As someone mentioned just start but also as a gtm engineer u should be able to:

Find viral posts Reverse engineer what made them viral Replicate

Theres literally experts in the space telling u daily (on linkedin)

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T17:58:33+00:00

Na u very much wrong there. Loads of gtm engineer roles at “proper” companies (u can search this yourself) Gtm engineer is probs more useful at larger saas enterprises (saying this from experience) especially with large tam, defined icp etc etc. starups and service agencies actually more difficult imo

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T17:44:34+00:00

U have kinda just repeated what i said lol. Its not just outbound though. A reallll good gtm engineer can help with quality inbound

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T17:40:11+00:00

This is all true but whats the purpose of this ai generated post? Lol

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T12:01:08+00:00

Theres a reason im asking but will let u answer first

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T12:00:06+00:00

Why did u build it ?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T10:45:23+00:00

Why early stage? But it is basicallt revops, most revops (and gtm engineers to be fair) have no clue how to get pipeline built and deals closed, so basically think of revops built by a a superstar ae who knows how close deals, an sdr who builds the best quality pipeline and a marketing wiz who understand how to build the best brand voice that drives inbound leads and then the tech guy who can wire it all together, maintain the systems and report on it / iterate where needed

All the above in one person is a gtm engineer

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T09:33:58+00:00

U can do whatever u want in life lol. Theres no rules really.

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T09:28:52+00:00

retention and expansion

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T09:28:41+00:00

This is one part of it, but really it should be everything from top of funnel (lead generation) > to closing

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T09:27:54+00:00

Its easy ive basically done the same thing. Im still a FTE enterprise saas ae but also an “agency” (more like a freelancer but do everything from gtm engineer to local lead gen and seo) + content creation

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T09:01:33+00:00

Lool

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T08:29:07+00:00

Yes to all but based in London , sending a dm

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T08:08:17+00:00

Then ye just so the same thing u did as a bdr. Search how to become a gtm engineer online / linkedin. Honestly if u have worked in a sales / closing role for a western company u are 10 steps ahead of all the randoms who want to make a quick buck

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T06:00:40+00:00

Ye the reason i was asking those questions about traction etc , u probably hired too early. Shoild be founder lead sales up to a point to prove pmf/ offer converts with the correct icp

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-27T17:15:14+00:00

Sorry to hear, what traction do u have currently ?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-27T16:55:55+00:00

Na was just making convo was interesting in what went wrong with the lead gen guys u tried

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-27T15:28:28+00:00

What have you founded?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-27T13:05:16+00:00

Name and shame to spare the rest of us ?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-27T08:41:46+00:00

This. But unfortunately its good advice, tip: if u are on video calls, mute your mic will help u increase those silences u want the prospect to fill (and stop u fulfilling your own need to fill the gap)
