In today's episode, I chat with Drew from Korus GTM about building sustainable outbound systems that prioritize long-term consistency over quick wins.
We dive deep into his scientific approach to testing message-market fit and message resonance, exploring how his team builds comprehensive infrastructure to prevent common pitfalls like burned domains and inbox deliverability issues. We discuss his transformation from sales leader at Webflow to GTM engineer, the critical mistakes he made with over-engineering hypotheses and targeting too narrowly, and his philosophy on balancing technical Clay mastery with customer success strategy.
Enjoy 🙂
