How To Build A GTM Campaign in 60 Minutes

CyberMarketingCon/Benyamin Holley/

CyberMarketingCon/Dec 10, 2025

A live, unrehearsed session at CyberMarketingCon. Ben asks the room for a company URL he has never seen. Someone gives him intelligence.com. Clay starts running in the background while he talks, and he tells them it works about 90% of the time and sometimes trips. The table researches the site, drafts an ICP, finds lookalike accounts (Base10, PostHog), pulls contacts, and writes a fit note an SDR can actually read. He used the same motion at Cyft before he joined: about 65,000 MSPs worldwide, most of them too small for the product, enough to test whether a pre-seed could support a raise. Those principles, he says, helped raise $5 million and recruit a CTO and a VP of product.

Notes

  1. 01

    The demo starts from one URL he has never opened. Clay researches the site, drafts who they sell to, finds lookalikes, and writes why the account is worth a call.

  2. 02

    He tells the room Clay works about 90% of the time on a live run. When it trips, he explains the table instead of pretending the demo is clean.

  3. 03

    Before joining Cyft he gathered about 65,000 MSPs to see if the market could support the company. Most shops are small. The product is not for all of them.

  4. 04

    Head of growth at a 10-person startup, in his words, means absurdly overpaid SDR.

  5. 05

    Vertical filters do not tell you if a CRM record is a buyer. He sends an agent to the website and treats the rest of the CRM as a graveyard until someone reads it.

  6. 06

    He scores Salesforce accounts 1 to 4 inside Clay, with the whole CRM pulled into the table, then writes the note an AE would actually read.

  7. 07

    He does not want a vendor's default settings. ZoomInfo's API, as he remembers the quote, starts around $15,000 a year, which was too much at that stage.

  8. 08

    Clay and n8n have no persistent context window. He keeps the business in Cursor and Claude Code so he is not refeeding it at every step.
