How I turn random GTM into predictable revenue

For B2B SaaS teams with traction that are tired of guessing.

System 1: Signal Pipeline

Sales talks to people who are actually in a buying window.

The problem
Most SaaS teams don’t have a lead problem.
They have a timing and prioritization problem.

Sales reps waste time on:

  • chasing accounts that aren’t ready
  • following up on leads that were never a fit
  • working pipeline that never converts

The result is wasted time and unpredictable outcomes.

What I build
I design a pipeline that starts from signals, not lists.
Signals → Enrichment → Qualification → Routing → Sales

That means:

  • defining what “buying intent” actually looks like for your SaaS
  • detecting those signals across accounts and contacts
  • enriching and qualifying automatically
  • routing only high-probability opportunities to sales

In practice, this usually means:

  • 5–10 hours/week reclaimed per sales rep
  • Fewer conversations, higher close rates
  • Pipeline becomes explainable, not random

System 2: CRM as Revenue OS

Stop guessing why you grew (or didn't).

The problem
Revenue moves, but you don’t really know why.

Common symptoms:

  • CRM stages that don’t reflect reality
  • forecasts are unreliable
  • attribution that tells a nice story, not the truth

This creates anxiety at the founder level and noise at the operator level.

What I build
I turn the CRM into a revenue operating system, not a database.
Pipeline → CRM → Attribution → Forecast → Decisions

That includes:

  • lifecycle stages tied to real customer actions
  • automation that reflects how deals actually progress
  • attribution that shows what influences revenue

What changes

  • Revenue shifts can be explained
  • Forecasts become a planning tool
  • Growth discussions move from opinions to tradeoffs

How both systems work together?


Signal Pipeline (S1) decides:

who is worth talking to and when.

The CRM as Revenue System (S2) makes sure:

nothing gets lost, distorted, or misinterpreted once that attention turns into deals.

Together:

They convert existing market demand into predictable outcomes.
