His direct experience building high-velocity sales organizations informed the company's mission to share practical expertise and elevate the sales profession.
The platform serves B2B sales practitioners, leaders, and companies refining market entry and expansion. GTMnow strives to be a leading authority and partner in navigating GTM complexities. Its vision empowers professionals and organizations with knowledge and community support, enabling sustainable growth and excellence in evolving sales environments.
Key people at Hacking Sales, Career Hacking, and Sales Engagement.
Hacking Sales, Career Hacking, and Sales Engagement refer to a series of books authored by Max Altschuler, focused on optimizing sales processes, career growth in sales, and sales engagement strategies, rather than a standalone company. These works build on Altschuler's expertise in "hacking" sales—using tools, automation, and efficient tactics to build high-velocity sales machines for startups and SaaS companies[1][2][4][5][6]. They target sales professionals, founders, and teams, solving core challenges like scaling sales with limited resources, hiring effectively, and leveraging emerging technologies in a $500 billion industry undergoing automation[1][2].
The books emerged from Altschuler's real-world experiments, such as building sales development teams in the Philippines at Udemy and sharing hacks via Sales Hacker, a community and media platform he founded that later became a conference and was acquired by Outreach[1][2][5].
Max Altschuler's journey began at early-stage startups like Udemy, where he pioneered sales efficiencies out of necessity—hacking processes with virtual assistants in the Philippines, adopting nascent tools like ToutApp, and focusing on "doing more with less" to fuel rapid growth (Udemy raised nearly $50 million during his tenure)[1][2]. This led to launching a Sales Hacker meetup to share stories and tools with like-minded sales leaders, which evolved into a conference, media company, and thought leadership platform[1][2][5].
Altschuler channeled these experiences into books: *Hacking Sales* (a playbook for high-velocity sales with 150+ tools), *Career Hacking* (self-published from 15,000 words of LinkedIn posts on career strategies), and *Sales Engagement* (expanding on engagement tactics), all drawing directly from his LinkedIn content and Sales Hacker insights[2][4][5][6]. Sales Hacker's growth, amplified by LinkedIn, culminated in its acquisition by Outreach, where Altschuler scaled similar strategies[5].
These books ride the sales automation and acceleration trend in a transforming $500B industry (15M+ US employees), where tools like Salesforce approach $10B ARR, enabling startups to compete via tech stacks and processes[2]. Timing is ideal amid SaaS proliferation, where technical founders struggle with sales—Altschuler's hacks address this gap, influencing ecosystems through Sales Hacker's community, which democratized tools and strategies pre-mainstream adoption[1][2].
They amplify market forces like remote SDR teams and AI-driven engagement, shaping how companies like Outreach integrate sales tech, while LinkedIn's role underscores content-led growth in GTM (go-to-market) strategies[5].
Altschuler's works position him as a sales evolution architect, with Outreach integration suggesting deeper enterprise plays. Next steps likely involve updating hacks for AI sales agents and advanced analytics, capitalizing on persistent startup sales challenges. As automation accelerates, their influence could expand via new editions or platforms, empowering more founders to "hack" growth—echoing the efficiency ethos that launched Sales Hacker from a meetup to acquisition.
