Keshav Raj Keshav Raj / GTM Consultant

Turning buyer intent
into pipeline.

I’m an independent GTM consultant for B2B SaaS. I shape the strategy, plan the campaigns, and build the systems that run them, so you reach in-market buyers while they’re still deciding, and your whole go-to-market is measured against pipeline, not clicks.

100% free. Yours to keep, no strings attached.

The pipeline problem

Your buyers decide before they ever fill out a form.

They research on their own and make up most of their minds in private. By the time a lead converts, the shortlist is already set. A go-to-market where strategy, campaigns, and systems run separately, and success is measured in form fills and clicks, shows up too late, or not at all.

01

Campaigns chase everyone

Broad targeting spreads budget across accounts that aren’t buying. Meanwhile, the accounts actively researching your category leave clear signals, from website visits to intent topics to review-site activity, and nobody acts on them.

Fixed beforeAt Apty, once paid targeting and tracking were tied to pipeline, paid search and social averaged $206K in new pipeline a month.
02

Hot leads go cold in the handoff

A buyer raises their hand and waits for a rep. At Apty, the average lead waited 124 days for a first touch. Everyone else gets a generic drip instead of a real path to a sales conversation. Interest fades before anyone follows up.

Fixed beforeRebuilt routing by lead source and region, cutting time to first touch to under 7 days, and under 15 minutes for high-intent hand-raisers.
03

Good ideas wait in the ops queue

The routing, enrichment, or workflow a campaign needs sits in a backlog for ops or engineering. Ideas that should go live in days take quarters, and the buying window closes in the meantime.

Fixed beforeBuilt the routing, lifecycle, and enrichment workflows myself at Apty and Kroolo, and cut manual content ops time by more than 50% with n8n.
04

Nobody trusts the pipeline number

Marketing reports clicks and MQLs, sales reports something else, and leadership can’t connect either to revenue. Without clean CRM data and shared lifecycle definitions, every budget conversation turns into a debate.

Fixed beforeRebuilt deal stages, data rules, and forecasting at Apty. Average days to close fell 46% year over year, and lead conversion rose from 1.5% to 9.8%.
