Most founders who bring me in are builders first, technical operators, first-time GTM owners, or founder-led teams who need help finding the buyer, testing the message, or pressure-testing the next move.

GROUP 01 · BUILDING THE FIRST MOTION

You’re building the motion for the first time.

01

Technical Founder, No GTM Playbook

You can build the product, but you’ve never had to define the market, find the buyer, or start the first conversations.

02

Tried Outbound, Got No Response

A campaign went out and little came back. You can’t tell if it was the audience, the message, or the execution.

03

Hired Someone, Learned Nothing

A past hire or agency didn’t work out, and left no diagnosis behind, just wasted months and no clearer path forward.

04

Leads Dried Up, Never Built Outbound

Referrals and inbound used to be enough. Now they’ve slowed, with no outbound system to fall back on.

GROUP 02 · PRESSURE-TESTING THE NEXT MOVE

You need judgment before the next move.

05

Choosing Which Market to Target First

You’re deciding which segment or geography to prioritize, and want evidence before narrowing around it.

06

Pressure-Testing Pricing or Packaging

You’re close to putting an offer in market and want to know it will hold up in real buyer conversations.

07

Evaluating a Partnership, Hire, or Pivot

A second, experienced read before a consequential call, someone who can name the assumptions and risks the internal team might be missing.

08

Pressure-Testing Positioning and Market Timing

You’re deciding when to become more visible, how to describe what you’ve built, or whether the current story is creating the right impression.

Every engagement begins with diagnosis. From there, we either build and test the motion, or pressure-test the next move and stay involved as the situation evolves.

Discover & Align

We review what's been tried, stress-test your ICP, and tear down the current messaging. That surfaces exactly where traction is breaking, or where a decision needs a sharper read before you commit further.

Outbound stack setup

Live outreach + response tracking

Iterate & Transfer

Once traction hits, we double down on what's working and cut what isn't. You leave with a GTM playbook and tooling setup you can run with or hand to your first hire.

CrystalDBA

CEO & Founder

Embedded GTM Partner

Charlie isn’t just a tactician, he connects GTM execution to the bigger picture. We brought him in to help reset our outbound motion after our first campaign failed. He ran a full audit, rebuilt our system, and narrowed our focus to a high-signal ICP: companies hiring Postgres talent. His messaging landed real traction with our first design partners, and that work became a key driver that led to our acquisition with Temporal.io

Mindshare Lab

Founder & CEO

GTM Sprint

Charlie helped me get clarity on what was actually working with LinkedIn outbound and what wasn’t. He pushed me to tighten our ICP, clean up our messaging, and build a simple, repeatable system for founder-led outreach that finally started getting replies. What stood out most was how hands-on and practical he was. We tested things live, booked a few meetings quickly, and I walked away with a clear process I could keep running.
