The GTM Launchpad Issue #72: Wrapping Up September
Just a few tricks and treats for closing out strong
Welcome to the GTM Launchpad newsletter! Each week I will share a sales play to help you grow your business, level up your sales game and succeed in the trenches
Hey GTM Family!
What a whirlwind week it’s been over here at The SD Lab! Between juggling kiddo chaos thanks to Fall Break (send coffee... and maybe some earplugs 😂) and locking down some sweet wins with the team it’s been all hands on deck
Here’s the scoop:
Martin and Tajay are absolutely crushing it—snagged us a bunch of new meetings and even turned a demo into a hot proposal.
On the home front the Tampa Bay Bucs showed the Eagles who's boss marching to a 3-1 record. That’s what I call domination!
And guess who’s been hitting the 'record' button daily? Yep joined Jared Robins #Video30 challenge and it’s been a blast plus a solid workout for my creative muscles.
As we stare down the last hours of September it’s crunch time. Whether you’re closing deals or prepping for a monster Q4 let’s make this last push count. Ready to dive into some killer strategies to wrap this month up with a bang?
Let’s roll!

Last-Day Strategies to Seal the Deal
Today’s the day! It’s all about making those last impressions count and turning maybe’s into definitely’s before the clock strikes midnight on this quarter.
Here’s how:
Second Voice Strategy: Got a prospect on the fence? Bring in a fresh voice maybe your manager or a co-worker—to give that deal a final nudge.
Video Prospecting: Shake things up with a video call instead of the usual email. It’s personal, it’s direct and it shows you're invested
Celebrating Micro Wins: Every little success adds up. Recognize the small stuff and keep the momentum going
Let’s use these tactics to not just meet but smash those targets as we say goodbye to September and hello to Q4!

This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies
Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.
That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.
Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.
We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
Thanks for reading, see you again next week at 8 am MST!
