Go-to-market strategy

You have a finished product or service. Now you need people who have never heard of you to buy it.

A go-to-market (GTM) strategy is your plan for getting a product to the right customers, through the right channel, at the right price. It ends with your first repeatable sales. Daniel & Friends is an independent GTM agency from Prague.

Frequently asked questions

What is a go-to-market strategy?

It's your plan for launching a product or company: who you sell to, what exactly you say, through which channel and at what price. You measure a good GTM strategy by your first repeatable sales.

Who is a GTM strategy for?

Startups before launch, companies entering a new market (international expansion included) and products whose growth has stalled. We do both B2B and B2C.

How long does it take and what do I get?

Usually 4 to 8 weeks. The output is a working playbook your team uses every day: ICP, messaging, pricing, a channel plan and your first campaign already live.

What are the steps of a GTM strategy?

It runs in three steps: ICP and positioning, pricing and channels, launch playbook. Within them we cover six areas: market segmentation and ICP, positioning and messaging, pricing and packaging, channel selection, a launch playbook with budget and owners, and measurement of the first sales. It takes 4 to 8 weeks and ends with a live campaign.

How does a GTM strategy differ from a marketing strategy?

A marketing strategy sets where the company plays and how it wins over the long run: market, segments, brand and budget. A GTM strategy covers one specific launch or market entry and ends with the first repeatable sales.

What does a go-to-market strategy cost?

Usually 4 to 8 weeks of senior team time at a blended rate of $90/h. You get a quote with scope and an hours breakdown within a week of the brief.
