A go-to-market (GTM) strategy is a plan to help you bring a new product to market. Having a defined GTM strategy will help your team navigate obstacles and ensure a successful product launch.
A GTM plan should be made with 6 basic components in mind:
- Identify who your target audience is. Knowing your ideal target market will help you develop a customer-specific buyer’s journey and get more sales
- Understand what you plan to sell. Are you going to sell a product or service? At what price are you planning to market your product? Knowing your pricing strategy can determine critical components of your development and advertising strategies
- When will your product launch? Timing is critical — understand when your ideal launch date should be and plan your launch with a time-to-market strategy
- Know where to find your target customer. A product launch requires precision and efficiency. By knowing where to find your target customer base, you will be more capable of networking, advertising, and selling to the audience
- Learn about the competitive landscape and why a customer will choose your product or service. Understand the gaps in competitor products to position your product in a way that gives a competitive advantage over existing products. Identify your unique selling proposition for each of your target audience personas
- How will you sell your product/service? Now that you have an idea of what you plan to sell, who your customers are, and how to sell against the competition, you can develop a marketing and sales strategy that reaches your ideal customers in an efficient manner. A carefully crafted strategy can make marketing and sales efforts more cost-effective and more ROI-positive
