Thanks Stephanie H.! Regardless of GTME being new, I'm very structured when I'm learning something new and get attached to what's "standard". In this case I'm attached to the archetypes and my skills that overlap with them. I do this with everything when I'm learning, like dance or Spanish. Then freestyle when I get the basics / foundations down. A good toxic trait 😅 But nothing like just diving in to learn and build.

Thanks Willy H. and Tyler P.! Abdul S. also shared his thoughts that seem to overlap

Python & JavaScript basics for automation and data handling in Clay
SQL practice for queries and joins on lists and enrichment
Data analytics fundamentals to interpret CRM and campaign performance
B2B concepts like ICP, buyer journeys, and ABM strategies

An update on the opportunity I noted is now on hold and being revisited in the new year. A bummer, but may be a good thing considering there is definitely some upskilling that needs to be done.

Thanks for sharing Arpit C.! It's on my list to review! The Evolution of GTME call I attended was a part of Maven Live and Yash T. was the host of the call. He highlighted GTME archetypes, and from what I noted I believe I'm between Outbound Architect and CRM Organizer.

Preparing for a GTM Engineering Role: Insights and Resources Needed

Hi everyone! I was encouraged to share my 🔥 burning fire question here from my intro in the Introduce Yourself channel. TL;DR: I’ve been given a GTM Engineering part-time opportunity using Clay with only having B2C CRM experience. I’ve just completed the Clay 101 Cohort and attended the Evolution of GTME call. In prep in starting my new GTME engagement, I’d love any insight on any other prep work I should do like the intro to python and java script mentioned on the call. Also it would be great learn if anyone had a similar intro experience into GTME and Clay. TL;But Still Read 🔥 Burning question: This part-time GTME engagement won’t start until December or January, and I’ll do as much prep as I can on B2B ways of working, HubSpot (their CRM), and Clay knowledge building until then. I attended an Evolution of GTME call that Clay hosted back in October. Reviewing the GTME archetypes discussed on the call, I believe I’m a mix between the Outbound Architect and CRM Organizer. It was recommended to take an intro to python and java script course on the call. Are there any other courses I should consider while I have a month or so to prep before this engagement? I do have a Coursera subscription and have intro to HubSpot and SQL courses on my list! Also along with Clay, has anyone newly transitioned to B2B and open to sharing your experience? Thank you!

Introducing Danielle: My Journey into B2B SaaS and GTME at Clay

Hi everyone, I'm Danielle! 🌎 Location: 📍🗽NYC 👩🏻‍🎨 Company / Role: I've been a CRM and Product Growth Marketing Consultant for the past 3 years supporting clients within various industries 🔍 Background: I'm a technical marketer and for the past 7+ years I've been in CRM in a B2C capacity within various industries: CPG, retail, fintech, automotive services, restaurant marketplace / app-based delivery. I specialize in marketing operations and martech stack maintenance. I've done 4 customer engagement platform migrations so far throughout my career: Oracle ➡️ Marigold / Cheetah Digital, Iterable ➡️ Braze, SFMC ➡️ Zeta Marketing Platform, and Braze ➡️ to an in-house custom platform. Clay Goals: Clay was introduced to me when I was considered for a. part-time GTM Engineering role — and essentially it was only offered to me. This would be my first B2B SaaS role and the org is open with me coming in with B2C only experience, plus adding (learning) my GTME responsibilities. So I enrolled in the cohort to not just learn the basics of Clay and GTME, but get visibility the B2B world. I learned what ICP means from the first live cohort call 🙈 I'm so impressed with the Clay platform and the education Clay provides! I'm lucky this org is flexible and open to my B2C and martech experience. 🌟 Fun Facts: I do love building my professional skills, but love having my own identity outside of my work. I have a lot of hobbies, and if there’s an app to support it I’m on it! I love apps because they keep me accountable:

Peloton for working out 🚴🏋️‍♀️
HelloTalk and Babbel for Spanish 🇪🇸 I'm specifically practicing Castilian Spanish and would love more language exchange partners if anyone is interested!
Steezy for hip hop

If you’re on any of these, happy to follow for friendly competition and motivation! 🔥 Burning question:
