Traditional intent data isn't delivering consistent results at scale.

Swan AI's Amos Bar Joseph shares a better approach:
"Stop chasing 'in-market' moments. True pipeline growth comes from scaling touchpoints across thousands of accounts - not obsessing over a single 'hot' lead."

This game-changing perspective is just one highlight from Episode 16 of our series. Watch the full conversation to learn how to transform your GTM strategy: youtu.be/Tvm6B0A8WvY

Amos Bar-Joseph of Swan AI reveals how his team is achieving hypergrowth with zero new hires:

✔ Step 1: Founders must do it manually first (no shortcuts!)
✔ Step 2: Document every repeatable process
✔ Step 3: Train AI to handle 80%—free your team for strategic work

Why this works:
• Avoids "fake scaling" traps
• Makes sales more human (not less)
• Founder-led efficiency at its best
