Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody chats with Maximus Greenwald about reimagining traditional outbound strategies through a concept he calls "warmbound"—the fusion of outbound execution with inbound energy. Maximus walks us through the broken state of traditional lead scoring, the inefficiencies of outdated TAM/SAM/SOM frameworks, and why marketers should own the pipeline.He breaks down how intent signals, AI, and horizontal marketing teams will reshape the future of GTM. Maximus also shares how he tests big bets as a founder, what marketers can learn from enterprise sellers, and how personalization must evolve in the age of generative AI.Key TakeawaysWarmbound, Not Outbound: The strict division between inbound (marketing) and outbound (sales) is outdated. The future is unified, pipeline-first, go-to-market strategies driven by intent.Classic Lead Scoring Is Broken: Rigid filters based on outdated firmographics miss major ICP opportunities. AI can dynamically model what actually drives revenue.Signal Stacking Is the New ICP: Combine CRM, intent data, buyer behavior, and historical signals to build a more accurate, real-time picture of purchase readiness.Marketers Should Own Pipeline: With the right data and tools, marketing can—and should—run outbound motions and be comped like sellers.Horizontal Over Vertical Marketing: Organize teams around the buyer journey stages (cold, warm, hot) instead of just marketing channels.Quotes“Inbound versus outbound is a false dichotomy. Your outbound should drive inbound, and your inbound should fuel outbound. It's all one team now.”“You don't stay in someone's TAM forever. SOM is dynamic. A lead heats up, cools down, and reenters.

The right tools and governance ensure that teams are acting on reliable data.- Aligning Sales & Marketing Requires Process, Not Just Intent – Establish shared KPIs, define roles, and create a feedback loop to ensure alignment throughout the account lifecycle.- One-to-One ABX is the Goal, But Requires Strong Foundations – Organizations should first build a solid demand generation engine before scaling to hyper-personalized, one-to-one outreach.- AI Can Help, But It's Not a Silver Bullet – While AI can assist with personalization, content generation, and automation, it can't replace the strategic thinking needed to execute ABX effectively.Quotes"The three most important skills for ABX success?
