GoodFit just raised $13M (Series A) led by Notion Capital to scale “programmatic GTM”—using clean data, automation, and AI agents so teams target the right accounts, at the right time, with the right message. (Source: GoodFit Blog)

Why This Matters for Customer Success:

When Sales runs on better data and intent, we close fewer bad-fit deals and make clearer promises.

That leads to faster onboarding, higher adoption, and safer renewals. In plain words: clean ICP + live intent → cleaner promises → fewer onboarding surprises.

Here’s the shift I’m seeing across top teams:

  • Markets are pre-mapped and accounts are scored before outreach.

  • Signals drive timing (hiring, tech stack, usage, buying triggers).

  • Hybrid motion wins: Tier 1 gets rep-led attention; Tier 2/3 runs programmatically.

If you need a refresher on onboarding risks and quick wins, my guide on remote onboarding that drives retention shows how to cut time-to-value from day one (and what to stop doing).

To turn pre-sale promises into a plan customers trust, start with my free Customer Success Plan Template and drop in 30/60/90 outcomes before the contract is signed.

Programmatic GTM is not “just Sales tech.” It’s the new CS advantage. Cleaner targeting means smoother onboarding, fewer escalations, and stronger NRR.
