In today's episode, I chat with Aamir Massoud, GTM Lead at Numero, about running precise, signal-driven outbound with a lean team inside one of the more complex enterprise sales environments — the office of the CFO.
Numero is a vertical AI platform that deploys agents into finance and accounting workflows without ripping out ERPs or CRMs. Aamir breaks down why he starts every GTM build not with a tool but with a written story — who you're selling to, how they're tiered, and why — and how that document becomes the foundation for everything built on Claude after. He walks through a specific campaign where they scraped data on CFOs who had published podcasts, interviews, or articles in the past 90–180 days (via Floid and their connectors), then used those signals to write personalized emails in the prospect's own language — with a human-in-the-loop review step before anything goes out. He shares his prediction that lean GTM pods will keep getting more powerful by pulling signals from product, support, and CS, and closes with practical advice: define the ICP yourself, write the story before you touch any tooling, then pick one workflow, finish it, and move on.
Enjoy 🙂

What is The GTM Engineer Podcast?
GTMEs didn't think they would evolve this way. They just kept automating things until it became their whole job. Now the tooling is moving faster than anyone can keep up with, there's no real playbook, and half the advice online is either too vague or written by someone who hasn't actually done it. This podcast is for you if you're in the middle of figuring it out - real workflows, numbers, and mistakes from expert GTMEs at startups, mid-market, and enterprise. If you're wiring up Clay, rethinking your outbound stack, or trying to make AI actually useful in your pipeline, welcome to the The GTM Engineer Podcast.
