In today's episode, I chat with Ben Reed, founder of RevyOps, about solving the data fragmentation problem that prevents GTM agencies from scaling beyond 5-10 clients.

We explore the "yo-yo effect" that plagues agencies when they try to grow, and why the real constraint isn't sales but fulfillment and data operations. Ben shares his unconventional journey from philosophy major to oil & gas data platforms to building RevyOps, explaining how the same data aggregation challenges exist across industries. We discuss why agencies waste resources re-enriching the same contacts multiple times, the technical limitations of using Airtable or Supabase for large-scale GTM data, and how building a centralized "master record" can enable agencies to scale to 20-40 clients profitably. He explains why vertical specialization is the key to sustainable agency growth.

Enjoy 🙂
