Run Your Entire GTM Motion with Claude: Custom CRM and 8 Playbooks
A practitioner's show-and-tell of running an entire B2B GTM motion with Claude - custom CRM, 8 structured playbooks for outreach, referrals, and signal conversion
Key Takeaways
- Built a custom CRM around GTM plays: Off-the-shelf CRMs can't support structured go-to-market playbooks - Vijay built his own in Claude to manage 8 distinct outreach and conversion plays
- Public signal outreach captures pain-point conversations: Monitor ICPs discussing their own pain points on LinkedIn and social channels that align with your solution - these are warm signals, not cold outreach
- Warm signal conversion from viral threads: When someone responds to a relevant LinkedIn thread, they're not cold - they're 'warmish.' A structured playbook for engaging these responders converts far better than generic sequences
- Claude as follow-up system: The Claude setup handles reminders, tracks conversations, and ensures no prospect falls through the cracks - replacing the mental overhead of managing 5-10 relationships manually
- Scaling requires signal tools: The solo Claude approach works for small pipeline, but compounding relationships across target accounts requires structured signal monitoring tools to track who's posting, engaging, and showing intent at scale
