Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gtm-philosophy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Core GTM Philosophy

Fundamental Principles

  1. Scale what top performers do - Study best reps, systematize their approach

  2. Diagnose before prescribing - BIPSY framework: Behaviors, Individual, Process, Skill, You

  3. Signal-based outreach = 3-4x higher contract values

  4. You can't burn your TAM - Re-engage with new angles

  5. Lead with pain, not features - HockeyStack approach: "Do you have problems tying brand awareness to revenue?"

  6. Segment and convert, don't over-personalize - Gorgias went from 200 sequences to 10 modular ones


Multi-Channel Coordination

The Data:

  • Email + ads + referrals = extra $2M ARR (case study)
  • ABM approach = 36% meeting rate vs 10% non-ABM
  • Warm before you touch principle

Coordination Strategy:

Channel Role Timing
Ads Warm up, build awareness Before outreach
Email Primary outreach Day 1
LinkedIn Secondary touch Day 2-3
Phone High-intent follow-up After engagement
Referrals Leverage network Throughout

Key Mindsets

On Personalization

  • Personalize to the person, not just the company
  • Use specific numbers, not vague claims
  • Research should inform approach, not just first line

On Volume vs Quality

  • Quality signals beat high volume
  • 100 signal-based emails > 1000 cold emails
  • Stack signals for heat scoring (3+ signals = reach out same day)

On Timing

  • New role signals peak at days 14-45
  • Website visitors: act within 24-48 hours
  • Funding announcements: wait 2-4 weeks

On Messaging

  • Lead with pain, not features
  • Soft CTAs outperform hard asks
  • Humor reduces tension and increases response

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
