I wanna be you when I grow up. Moved from marketing to sales, got stuck in sales for 8 years now, and now this has me thinking that going back to marketing might not be such a bad idea after all. Good jump.

(Also hoping my CMO never sees this, I’d never hear the end of his gloating)

Insightful! So you’re still a full-time Clay employee? Or is it freelancing?… I’m curious about how the comp works here and how it makes sense for you/clay. Do you have new ARR targets?

Alex Lindahl | GTM Engineering's avatar

Still a full-time Clay employee. I can’t share my comp, but can confirm I’m compensated well. The situation is a bit unique since I was an early employee, had been growing a newsletter and following, sold into large companies, and all of that has developed a personal brand value prop that helps with the content flywheel here.

I don’t have ARR targets, but do have lead generation and other content targets.
