Service 09 · GTM Strategy

Launch with data,not a hunch.

A go-to-market strategy for a new market, product or persona — ICP, messaging, channel mix and a roadmap specific enough to execute from on the Monday after you receive it.

What you get

Every deliverable below is part of the standard engagement.

01

GTM strategy document

The strategy in one document rather than five decks that contradict each other — the opportunity, the audience, the positioning, the channel plan and the numbers it has to hit, written so a new hire could execute against it.

Included
Market opportunity sized with the assumptions shown
Competitive positioning and the wedge you lead with
Channel plan with budget allocation and expected returns
Success metrics and review gates defined up front
02

ICP and persona profiles

Who to sell to and who inside those accounts to convince. Built from evidence — your own win data where it exists, primary research where it does not — and specific enough to filter a target list with.

Included
ICP defined as filters you can actually build a list against
Buying committee mapped by role, influence and concern
Per-persona priorities, triggers and objections
Anti-personas named, so the team stops chasing bad fits
03

Messaging playbook

What to say to each persona at each stage, with the proof points attached. Written as usable language — subject lines, openers, objection responses — not as a positioning statement nobody can turn into an email.

Included
Value proposition per persona with supporting proof points
Message progression from first touch to evaluation
Objection responses written in the buyer's own language
Ready-to-use copy blocks for email, ads and outreach
04

Channel and campaign recommendations

Where this audience is reachable and what each channel is likely to cost, with a recommended split and expected volume. It includes the channels we think you should skip, and why — that is usually the more valuable half.

Included
Channel mix recommended against cycle length and deal size
Budget split with expected volume and cost ranges
Sequencing — which channel opens, which converts
Explicit list of channels not worth running here
05

90-day launch roadmap

The first ninety days broken into weeks, with owners, dependencies and decision gates. It is deliberately specific: the point is that execution starts immediately, not after another quarter of planning.

Included
Week-by-week plan with named owners and dependencies
Pre-launch, launch and scale phases with entry criteria
Review gates where the plan is expected to change
Early indicators to watch before the lagging metrics move
How the engagement runs
01
Discovery
We work through your win data, current pipeline and the team's own read of the market, and interview whoever knows why deals close.
02
Research
Primary and secondary research fills in the segments you have no history in — competitors, buyer behaviour and reachable audience volume.
03
Strategy build
ICP, positioning, messaging and channel plan are drafted, pressure-tested against your numbers and revised with your team in a working session.
04
Roadmap and handover
The 90-day plan is built with owners and gates, then handed over in a session that leaves your team able to run it without us.
Common questions
Is this useful for an existing market?+

Yes — a repositioning or a new persona inside a market you already serve uses the same process, and usually moves faster because the win data is already there.

Do you execute the strategy as well?+

We can, but it is not a condition. The document, playbook and roadmap are built to be executable by your team or any agency you choose.

How much of our time does this take?+

Roughly a day in total across four to six weeks — a kickoff, a handful of interviews, one working session and the handover.

What if the research contradicts our plan?+

Then you have found that out for the cost of a strategy engagement rather than a launch. We show the evidence and the assumptions so you can judge it yourself.
