How do you develop a go-to-market strategy? What should you consider before launching your new product or service?
A go-to-market (GTM) strategy is the plan for how you’re going to get customers to try out your product or service. This involves thinking through who your target audience is, where they live, what their problems are, and how you’re uniquely positioned to solve them.
To create a successful GTM strategy, start by defining your target customer. Next, identify the problem you want to solve. Then, determine whether your solution is unique enough to stand out from competitors. Finally, figure out how you’re able to deliver value to your target audience. Once you have these answers, you can begin developing a comprehensive GTM strategy.
In this course, we’ll walk through each step of creating a successful GTM strategy. We’ll also discuss best practices for implementing your strategy in practice. By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Identify your target customer and learn about their needs
