Go-To Market

What does go-to market mean?

Go-to-market, or GTM, refers to a strategic action plan that outlines how a company will sell products or services to customers. Effective GTM strategies are crucial for maximizing the reach and efficiency of your indirect sales channels.

A comprehensive GTM strategy can cover many different factors, such as:

• Your target customers, their demographics, and pain points
• Your unique selling proposition
• Your sales and marketing strategies for direct and indirect sales
• A rollout strategy with a step-by-step approach
• Pricing strategy
• Distribution channels
• Customer acquisition plan
• Budget and resource allocation
• Timeline and milestones to track progress
• Competitive analysis
• Market testing
• Customer feedback and iteration
• Risk assessment and mitigation
• Training and sales enablement

For ecosystem leaders, your GTM strategy will likely include partner selection, training, incentive programs, and defining partner roles in your sales journey.

For example, you might focus on onboarding channel partners that have strong relationships with businesses in your target market, then provide them with thorough training on your product and support them with co-marketing activities.

Remember, a well-planned GTM strategy can drive incredible success for both you and your partners. It aligns all parties involved in who to target, how to sell, and what support and resources are needed for your upcoming sales efforts.
