Founder and Small Team GTM: The Complete Go-to-Market Playbook for Founders and Small Teams, book cover
What this book is

Most founders can build the product. Getting customers is where it stalls.

This is the go-to-market book for the founder who has to sell and never wanted to. It starts with why selling feels wrong, then builds, chapter by chapter, into a repeatable revenue machine you can actually forecast and eventually hand off.

No sales background assumed

It begins with the psychology of selling for people who hate it, then turns that into a system. No manipulation, no scripts you would be embarrassed to use.

First customer to repeatable revenue

From finding the right people and running discovery calls, through pricing and channel strategy, to forecasting and your first GTM hire. The full arc, in order.

A book you can run

Every chapter maps to GTM OS, the operating system where the playbook becomes your daily Today Queue, deal pages, scored roleplay, and an AI coach grounded in your own pipeline.
