# Using gtm-skills

## Overview

205 skills. 24 categories. Every GTM discipline. This is the master key.
The mistake: cloning the repo and not knowing where to start — loading random
skills, missing dependencies, or treating skills as documentation instead of
executable playbooks. This skill covers the complete usage guide: installation,
discovery, loading patterns, multi-skill workflows, and advanced tactics for
getting maximum value from the gtm-skills library.

### Skill Map: Winning by Design — Sales Process & GTM System

WbD organizes revenue as a system, not a funnel. Load skills by model:

| WbD Component | What It Covers | Load These Skills |
|---|---|---|
| **GTM Index (6 models)** | Revenue, Data, Math, Operating, Growth, GTM — score 1–10 | `gtm-system-architecture`, `gtm-metrics` |
| **GTM Playbook Kit** | Goal + Actions + Exit Criteria per stage | `pipeline-management` (anchor) |
| **SPICED** | Situation, Pain, Impact, Critical Event, Decision (discovery) | `pipeline-management`, `meeting-prep`, `founder-sales` |
| **MEDDICC** | Metrics, EB, Decision Criteria/Process, Pain, Champion, Competition (deal scoring) | `pipeline-management`, `meeting-prep`, `sales-coaching`, `multi-thread-orchestration` |
| **Bowtie** | Acquire → retain → expand (revenue doesn't end at Closed Won) | `gtm-system-architecture`, `customer-onboarding`, `expansion-selling` |
| **POD structures** | SDR:AE:CSM ratios by complexity | `sales-team-building` |
| **REKS coaching** | Results → Efforts → Knowledge → Skills | `sales-coaching`, `sales-team-building` |
| **Enablement layer** | Playbook, battlecards, talk tracks per stage | `sales-enablement`, `demo-scripts`, `objection-handling` |

**Full WbD sales process stack:**
```
gtm-context → gtm-system-architecture (score the 6 models)
→ pipeline-management (stages + SPICED + handoffs)
→ sales-enablement (playbook assets per stage)
→ sales-coaching (REKS + deal inspection)
→ sales-team-building (PODs + hiring when Operating Model ≥6)
```

**SPICED + MEDDICC rule:** They do not contradict. SPICED runs discovery
conversations; MEDDICC scores deal evidence. Same CRM fields — see
`pipeline-management` reconciliation table. Never use both as competing checklists.

**Gap Selling layer:** Keenan adds diagnostic depth — current/future/gap, root
cause, emotions, Problem Identification Chart. Use on discovery calls (`meeting-prep`
→ `keenan-gap-selling.md`); fold Impact into SPICED + MEDDICC Metrics.

### Skill Map: Outbound & Discovery Experts

Router index → `references/gtm-experts-outbound-index.md`

| Task | Skill | Lead expert / artifact |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery call prep | `meeting-prep` | Keenan Gap Selling + SPICED + MEDDICC gaps |
| Discovery stage gates | `pipeline-management` | Gap Selling exit criteria (no happy ears) |
| Sequence architecture | `cold-email-strategy` | Becc Holland structure · Guillaume multichannel · Jordan PQS/PVP |
| Write cold email copy | `cold-email-copywriting` | Becc 7 Pillars · Guillaume CTC · Crawford PVP bar |
| Low reply rates (good infra) | `cold-email-strategy` + `list-building` | Jordan Crawford FIND — fix message before volume |
| lemlist campaign setup | `lemlist-setup` | Guillaume playbook (canonical multichannel) |
| Email + LinkedIn coordination | `multi-channel-outreach` | Guillaume · Becc sequence structure |
| SDR KPI / inbound-outbound conflict | `sales-team-building` | Becc Holland lead weighting |
| Infra at scale / deliverability | `email-deliverability`, `domain-infrastructure` | Eric Nowoslawski — `eric-nowoslawski-outbound.md` |
| Creative Ideas / offer-led AI copy | `cold-email-copywriting`, `clay-automation` | Eric Nowoslawski Crawl Walk Run |
| Outbound unit economics gate | `cold-email-strategy` | Eric TAM/LTV/CAC:LTV criteria |

**Creative outbound stack (reply rate rescue):**
```
list-building (PQS from won deals) → cold-email-strategy (FIND + triggers)
→ cold-email-copywriting (PVP/CTC copy) → lemlist-setup or sending-platforms
```

**Discovery stack:**
```
meeting-prep (Gap Selling + SPICED questions) → pipeline-management (stage evidence)
→ sales-coaching (MEDDICC deal review)
```

**WbD + agency rule:** Do not hire agencies until Operating Model ≥6.
Load `pipeline-management` before `hiring-agencies` — agencies execute your
playbook, they do not write it.
