Go to Market Development Services

How Will The Product go to Market?

The biggest lie ever told to a startup was “if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door” (which is actually a miss quote of Waldo Emerson taken out of context). Products do not sell themselves – especially disruptive products developed by startups.

Established companies do not develop Go To Market (GTM) strategies – they long ago figured out the correct strategy and are now busy interacting and perfecting each part of this strategy. Anyone working in a big company assumes their strategy is the ONLY way to sell a product – which is one of the reasons big companies can so easily be distributed.

For a startup, developing a GTM strategy can be a real challenge. Can’t use big company people – they think they already know the answer and they charge too much. Can’t use one of those marketing consultants – they specialize in some narrow niche of an existing GTM. Don’t even think about hiring your own people – that is the most common reason to run out of runway.
