The Problem: Strategy Uncertainty

Many companies launch products or enter new markets without a clear strategy. They make assumptions about who their customers are, what their positioning should be, and how to reach the market. The result? Wasted marketing budgets, misaligned sales and marketing teams, and slower market traction.

❌ No Clear Target

You're trying to sell to everyone, which means you're reaching no one effectively

❌ Weak Positioning

Your message doesn't stand out or resonate with decision-makers

❌ Misaligned Teams

Sales and marketing aren't aligned on who to target or what to say

❌ Wrong Channels

You're investing in channels where your customers aren't, wasting resources

A Real Example

Construction Tech Startup GTM Challenge

The Situation: A startup built a project management tool for construction. The founders had engineering and product expertise but no clear market strategy. They were trying to sell to "construction companies" broadly.

The Problem:

  • They didn't know who their ideal customer was
  • Their messaging tried to appeal to everyone
  • Sales and marketing teams weren't aligned
  • They were wasting money on broad advertising

Our GTM Strategy Work:

Through market research and interviews, we discovered their ideal customers weren't large enterprises (well-served by existing players) or tiny solo contractors (not willing to pay). Their sweet spot? Mid-size contractors (100-500 employees) managing 5-20 projects simultaneously.

We developed:

  • Detailed buyer personas for project managers at mid-size contractors
  • Positioning focused on "the easiest way to manage complex projects"
  • Go-to-market strategy targeting LinkedIn, industry events, and contractor associations
  • 12-month roadmap with specific milestones

The Result:

Within 6 months of executing this GTM strategy:

  • 3x increase in qualified leads
  • Sales cycle reduced from 4 months to 2 months
  • Marketing CAC (customer acquisition cost) cut in half
  • Sales and marketing teams aligned and efficient
  • Ready to raise Series A funding with a validated GTM
