Looking for a mentor to help me get started

·Nov 12, 2026 04:29 PM(edited)·

Hey! I'm new here and looking for a mentor to guide me on how to get started. Please message me if you can help. I have no sales or technical background. Not sure if I can still make it as GTM engineer. But would appreciate some help! Thanks!

What interests you about GTM engineering? What goals do you have for Clay?

Definitely the aspect about being able to help businesses reach more of their clientele! With Clay, I want to learn how to make tables and connect it to different tools

Sumer G. for free resources, I’d start with the Clay university self-led materials, and then look for upcoming cohorts that interest you. FYI as someone who has reviewed a lot of clay builds and interviewed GTM engineers, the stuff you build in early cohorts is better practice work than portfolio work. For a proper Clay portfolio I would focus on finding a client who you can apply some of those learnings for, even at small scale or for a personal project, and then document the before and after / process + results.

Definitely will do that! Any cohorts you recommend to be a good staring point? This may be a slightly stupid question—but how do you find clients? Is it mostly on LinkedIn?

Sumer G. not a stupid question, most of my clients have come through warm introductions via my network - I’ve been in RevOps for 10+ years so there are a lot of people out there who know that I’m good with data and know how to help companies improve their revenue machinery.

Thanks for sharing that! What examples of projects do you recommend to build and add to a portfolio? And is it alright if I DM you?
