The GTM Engineer bridge.
You posted a GTM Engineer role. The search will take 90 days. I run the function while you hire so Pigment’s pipeline does not stall.
90 days of dead pipeline is a real cost.
45 days to fill the seat
Senior GTM Engineers are scarce. Most searches close in 6 to 8 weeks if you move fast and pay for the role.
45 days to ramp
A new hire needs context on your stack, your data, and your motion. The first campaign rarely ships before day 60.
Every quarter pays for itself
A late launch on a Series A or post-Series-B quarter compounds. Investor expectations do not pause for hiring cycles.
A 6-week build the new hire can keep.
The point is to hand off a working system on day 1 of the full-time hire, not to be there forever. Every artifact is yours, documented, and runnable without me.
- Week 1
Signal architecture
Map your buying signals to data sources. Stand up the enrichment waterfall. Confirm the ICP that closes for you, not the one your last deck claimed.
- Week 2
Account list and committee map
Source the list. Resolve the buying committee per account. Validate emails and LinkedIn URLs at a 4-tier evidence chain so you do not pay for false positives.
- Weeks 3 to 4
Sequence build and live send
Author the sequence. Configure inbox infra, deliverability gates, and tracking. Ship the first cohort. Watch reply, bounce, and complaint rates against your bar.
- Weeks 5 to 6
Iterate, document, hand off
Tune copy against real reply data. Document the runbook so your full-time GTME walks into a working system on day 1. Optional: continue on a 90-day retainer if the volume justifies it.
Industrial IoT customer, shipped in 3 weeks.
Their sales team was burning hours every week on manual Salesforce lookups before customer calls. I shipped a ChatGPT-to-Salesforce research agent so reps query in plain English and get formatted answers with sources. Direct OAuth, zero middleware, zero hosting cost. Live in sandbox in 3 weeks. Their RevOps lead owns it now.
Same contractor pattern as a GTME bridge: scope, build, ship, document, hand off to the internal team.
Every artifact, yours.
- Documented signal library tied to your CRM
- Validated account list with buying committees mapped
- 3-touch sequence shipped, with copy variants and replyable inbox infrastructure
- Deliverability and reply-rate baselines from a real send, not a hypothesis
- Runbook your full-time GTME inherits on day 1
- Weekly working sessions and a shared Slack or email channel for the duration
Adjacent work I ship.
The bridge is the productized version. If your gap is somewhere else on the GTM stack, I scope these as their own engagements at the same fixed-fee discipline.
Inbound
Form-to-CRM routing, reply automation, intent detection. Closing the loop between demand gen and revenue so leads stop dying in the handoff.
Outbound
Multichannel sequences, deliverability infrastructure, signal-driven cadences. Ship the engine, hand off the runbook, your team operates it.
CRM enrichment
Account list cleanup, buying-committee mapping, validated email and LinkedIn data with a 4-tier evidence chain. Stop paying for rotting data.
Custom agents and GPTs
Internal tools, CRM-grounded research agents, Slack bots that actually work. The ChatGPT-Salesforce agent above is a recent example.
$15,000, fixed.
3 distinct projects bundled into one 6-week engagement:
- Signal architecture
- Account list and buying-committee map
- Sequence build, live send, and deliverability infrastructure
I price standalone projects at $6,000 each. Bundled into the bridge: $15,000, 6 weeks, one invoice. No hourly billing. Documentation and handoff are included, not billed.
If the volume justifies it after the bridge, I roll into a $25,000 / 90-day retainer to extend the system. That is your call, not mine.
Reply if the timing fits.
If your team is mid-search for a GTME and you want pipeline moving in the meantime, send me the role link and a sentence on the motion. I will reply within a day with a 1-page scope and an honest read on whether this fits your shape.
