Overview

Over 6 months, I installed a predictable GTM engine for Constrafor working with their Marketing Director, turning priority General Contractors & top subcontractors into qualified sales conversations and revenue-ready pipeline. The system combined role-specific messaging, ABM outbound, and paid media

The Problem

Inconsistent demo flow from paid; weak outbound motion.
Broad targeting (Ops vs Finance vs Compliance).
Complex buying committees caused stalls at compliance/legal.
CAC creep from competitor bidding & creative fatigue.
Leaky funnel: unclear MQL→SQL criteria and slow sales follow-up.
Complex buying committees caused stalls at compliance/legal.

The Solution

1) ICP, Messaging, & KPIs by Role
- Tiered ICP by revenue, company size, compliance burden.
- Role-specific value props:
- Ops: fewer vendor onboarding steps, faster project start.
- Finance: cash-flow unlock via Early Pay; cost-to-serve reduction.
- Compliance: audit-ready, COI gaps closed, risk exposure down.
- KPI guardrails per motion (SQLs, show rate, opp rate, CAC, payback).
2) ABM Outbound (multi-threaded)
- Sequenced path: Benchmark study → ROI one-pager → Webinar → Pilot.
- Clay + Clearbit for firmo/technographics, persona mapping, buying-committee threading.
- Instantly/Apollo for deliverability-safe sending; warming, custom merge fields, reply routing.
- Reply handling routed to SDRs with objection libraries (finance vs legal vs ops).
3) Paid Rebuild (Intent Clusters)
- Google: three clusters with separate budgets & tCPA: Prequal, COI/Compliance, Early Pay.
- Phrase/Exact core terms, dynamic sitelinks by persona, negative buildouts to cut waste.
- LinkedIn: persona-led Lead Gen Forms by job function (Ops/PM, Compliance/Risk, Finance).
- Short LGF (3–5 fields), auto-fill, offer-matched creative (ROI one-pager vs webinar).
Creative refresh cadence every 3–4 weeks to prevent fatigue.
4) Education → Conversion Engine
- Monthly webinars per function (Ops, Finance, Compliance).
- 3-touch show-rate booster (calendar ICS, SMS reminder, “starting now” email).
- Post-webinar: ROI follow-ups with role-specific case snippets & pilot CTA.
5) Pipeline Ops & Governance
- Clear MQL→SQL gates, owner SLAs (24-hr first response), and reason codes for disquals.
- Live Salesforce/HubSpot dashboard (SQLs, opps, CAC by channel/cluster, show rate).
- Weekly RevOps standup: creative, keywords, list health, and objection trends.
