Account research in 17 tool calls: what a digital worker reads before a rep picks up the phone

Most reps know they should research an account before they call. Few do it well, because the facts that matter sit in five systems and change every week. This post sets out what a pre-call account brief should contain, why the research gets skipped, and walks through an illustrative example of what RevSure's Digital SDR reads, in 17 tool calls, before anyone contacts a company in the middle of an acquisition.

AI employees, AI agents and digital workers: what a GTM team is actually buying

Search for "AI employees" and you find vendors offering to hire you one. The label tells a buyer very little. An assistant, an agent, an "AI employee" and a digital worker can run on similar models and still be completely different purchases: one is a seat, one is a task, one is a finished workstream with someone accountable for it. This guide sorts the labels by what you are paying for and ends with the questions to put in the contract.

What is a buying group? How B2B teams find the people behind a deal

Most B2B deals are decided by several people at the account, and most CRMs record one or two of them. This guide defines a buying group, separates it from a buying committee, a persona and an account, lists the roles that usually sit in one, explains why the CRM under-records them, and shows how to map a buying group and measure how much of it you are reaching.

What is a sales pipeline? Stages, metrics and where deals stall

A sales pipeline is the list of open deals a company is working, sorted by the stage each buyer has reached. Most teams can say how big theirs is today. Far fewer can say how long each deal has sat where it is, which is where forecasts go wrong. This guide defines the pipeline, separates it from the funnel, lays out B2B stages with exit criteria, gives the formulas for the core metrics and shows how to find the deals that have stopped moving.

AI lead scoring: the Digital SDR's first job is ranking who sales should call this week

Most B2B teams already score their leads, and most reps still decide who to call by scrolling. AI lead scoring sharpened the prediction without changing what happens next. This guide explains how lead scores are built, why they so often go unused, and what a Digital SDR does differently when it owns prioritization end to end, using a live run on RevSure's own inbound lead flow.

What is a digital worker? Definition for B2B GTM teams

"Digital worker" meant a software robot clicking through screens for most of the last decade. In go-to-market teams it now means something larger: AI assigned to a whole workstream, such as qualifying inbound demand or keeping the CRM clean, that delivers finished work on a schedule and answers to a person. This guide defines the term, traces where it came from, breaks a digital worker into its parts and shows what one delivers in a live run.

Claude connectors for GTM teams: how to connect Claude to your CRM, ad and pipeline data

Claude connectors let Claude read from and act in the tools a revenue team already runs. Connecting them one at a time works for single-system questions and falls apart on the questions GTM leaders actually ask, which cross the CRM, marketing automation, ad platforms and the warehouse. This guide explains how connectors work, where the one-connector-per-tool approach breaks, and how to connect Claude to a governed GTM context layer with the right permissions.

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)? A simple guide for GTM teams

Revenue teams are being told to connect their CRM to Claude or ChatGPT, usually by people who assume they already know what MCP is. Most explanations are written for developers and stop at the architecture diagram. This guide explains the Model Context Protocol in plain English, lists the GTM systems that ship official MCP servers and gives a RevOps lead five prompts to try. It also shows where a single-system connection stops being enough.

What is context engineering? How GTM teams give AI agents the context they need

An AI agent asked to follow up with one webinar attendee needs a single line of instruction and about a dozen facts from four different systems. Most teams spend their effort on the line and leave the facts to chance. Context engineering is the discipline of getting those facts right before the model runs. RevSure shows what that looks like for go-to-market work, task by task.

Customer acquisition cost (CAC): the B2B formula, a worked example and the mistakes that inflate it

The same enterprise quarter can produce a CAC of $32,000 or $133,000, and both numbers can be arithmetically correct. The gap comes from which costs sit in the numerator and which customers sit in the denominator, and in long sales cycles from which quarter the spend is matched to. This guide sets out the blended, paid and fully loaded CAC formulas, works through an illustrative enterprise example line by line, and lists where each cost actually lives. It closes with the CAC payback and LTV:CAC formulas, and a method for setting a baseline a CFO will accept.

The best agentic GTM platforms in 2026: how to choose, and 8 platforms compared

Every go-to-market vendor now sells agents, and the demos look alike because the visible work looks alike: an account gets researched, an email gets drafted, a record gets updated. The difference sits underneath, in what the agents know when they act and who checks the work before a customer sees it. RevSure compared eight agentic GTM platforms, included itself. The result is a buyer's checklist, a dated comparison table and a guide to choosing by scenario.

GTM engineer vs sales engineer: what's actually different

A sales engineer works inside the deal; a GTM engineer works inside the system that decided which deal to chase. RevSure sets out who each role reports to, what they own, what they cost, and which one a 200-people B2B company with a pipeline problem should hire first.

Programmatic GTM: Go-to-Market Motions as Versioned Programs

Most go-to-market work done with AI still lives in a chat window, where every run is a fresh prompt nobody can reproduce next week. Programmatic GTM changes the unit of work to a named, versioned Play that executes the same tool calls every time it runs. RevSure now runs four of these Plays from a command line interface which works on a governed context layer.

Hire a GTM engineer or automate the work?

This is the piece closest to what RevSure sells, so it carries the most caveats. A GTM engineer's first year runs six figures once loading, tooling and management are counted; a platform plus the RevOps owner it needs costs less and cannot do three things that matter most. RevSure names all of them.

GTM engineering: the discipline, not the job title

The GTM engineer title is three years old; the work is about twenty. RevSure traces how marketing ops, sales ops and data engineering converged under budget pressure, what the discipline borrowed from software engineering and where the analogy breaks, what an agency actually does, and where the whole thing is heading.
