Piyush Bhamare

Pune

Sixteen years of startup sales leadership in Pune, now teaching GTM through the sessions he runs and moderates

Why they're worth your time

He works at the specific altitude most Indian B2B startups get stuck at: past founder-led sales, not yet a real sales org. His sessions and teardowns are about the transition, what to hire, what to systematise, and what to stop doing yourself.

Background

Piyush Bhamare has over sixteen years in sales and business development, with leadership roles at Paragyte, Sminq, iMocha and Celoxis after starting his career at Oracle. He is described publicly as a growth leader and former head of sales, and now works as a GTM advisor. He moderates GTM Dialogues sessions, including a fireside on AI in go-to-market at GTM LIVE Hyderabad, and publishes through that community.

April Dunford Toronto

The person most B2B teams learn positioning from, and the author of Obviously Awesome and Sales Pitch She turns positioning from a vague branding exercise into a repeatable exercise: list your true competitive alternatives, isolate the features only you have, work out the value those unlock, and name the market segment that cares most. Her Sales Pitch work is the rare material that connects that positioning to the actual words a rep says on a call. PositioningICPSales processCategory design

Pete Kazanjy Atrium · San Francisco

Author of Founding Sales, the handbook that popularised founder led sales Founding Sales is the most concrete text available on the exact stretch most founders get wrong: your first 10 customers, your first rep, and the handoff between the two. He is unusually specific about call structure, discovery questions, and what a founder should measure before hiring anyone into sales. Sales processOutboundGTM hiringEnterprise sales

Jason Lemkin SaaStr · San Francisco

Founder of SaaStr, the largest body of public writing on scaling B2B SaaS revenue He answers the operational questions almost nobody publishes numbers for: when to hire your first VP of Sales, what a rep should actually close, how long ramp really takes, and why most VP hires fail in the first 90 days. Read him for benchmarks and hiring sequencing rather than for strategy. GTM hiringEnterprise salesSales processPricing

Writes MKT1, the reference on how an early B2B startup should actually build marketing She writes the thing almost nobody else does: what the first marketing hire should actually do in what order, how to scope the role, and how to tell a growth marketer from a product marketer when you have budget for exactly one. Her templates and org charts are directly usable rather than illustrative. PositioningInbound & contentGTM hiringICP
