Go-to-Market Strategy - Market Development - Sales & Marketing Optimization
Go-to-Market Strategy:
One of the great challenges faced by entrepreneurs and startups is the successful introduction of their product or service into the market. Ideally the product or service is designed for a good product-to-market fit so that its physical attributes deliver upon value propositions which meet one or more needs of the target customer. Since the product is also the pathway for achieving the company’s Corporate Strategy, success in the marketplace is vital to the entrepreneurial or start-up company’s future.
- Who is our ideal target customer?
- What are their needs?
- Will our product meet their needs?
- What is our value proposition?
- Should we sell direct or distribute?
- How do we build a sales team?
- Where do we advertise and what do we say?
- How should we set our pricing?

- Will our product meet their needs?
- What is our value proposition?
- How do we need to change the marketing mix (Product, price, distribution, promotion)?

Sales & Marketing Optimization:
A product in the marketplace will exhibit a product life cycle as it is adopted and increases in market share, then peaks and declines as other competitive products are introduced. All these stages of the product life cycle require active product management and often different strategies are needed to maximize revenues or profits at each stage.
- What is the current life cycle stage for our product?
- How does this affect our future forecasts of revenue and profit?
- Does our product ‘story’ match the life cycle stage?
- Does the marketing mix reflect the current life cycle stage?
- If growing, are our revenues maximized?
- If declining, are we managing costs to maximize margin / profit?
- Are we using the right marketing channels for the life cycle stage?
- Can we increase the velocity of product adoption?
- Is the sales team / distributor well trained, equipped and aligned to sell our product?
- How do we increase lead generation?
- How do we improve our forecasting accuracy?
- How do we manage the sales funnel/ sales cycle?
- How do we increase our closing rate?
