Key performance indicators (KPIs) like conversation rate, sales volume, and time can help you establish whether you're hitting your goals, and assess where your sales team needs to improve. Moreover, metrics will also enable you to analyze ways to lower your customer acquisition cost to optimize your profit earned per customer and reduce your sales cycle. The shorter the sales cycle, the quicker you can nurture buyers through the sales funnel, keeping existing buyers happy, and attracting new customers to supplement your inbound figures. This approach has all the makings of an effective business model, as customer retention is maintained, whilst churn is kept under control. Also, seek input from your buyers when improving your GTM strategy. For example, case studies are often used to provide insights into your unique value proposition from a buyer’s perspective. This not only serves as a powerful tool for your salespeople, but you can also distribute words of endorsement across your marketing channels, improving your SEO and visibility in search engines in the process." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How to optimize a Go-to-Market strategy for a scale-up business", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A scale-up business is just one step up from a start-up. So, you’re still very much in the beginning stages of your organization. One of the most important things you must do when you’re in this position is to just continue working on and refining your product marketing strategies depending on the data and feedback you receive from your previous launches. One of the biggest goals you must always be aiming towards is to enhance the customer experience (CX) with your product. Some factors affecting CX that you may look to refine and improve are: Product design/quality, Accessibility, Reducing cognitive load, Pricing (discounts, freebies, etc), Convenience, and Availability. In order to do this, ensure that you’re carrying out accurate and appropriate testing. One of the simpler tests you can carry out is A/B testing, which many PMMs argue is one of the most important tests to implement, especially when just starting out." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How to optimize a Go-to-Market strategy for an enterprise business", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Perhaps one of the most common misconceptions for enterprise businesses- and a big pain point for PMMs- is that they believe because their organization is so well established, they no longer need to make the effort to continue improving and refining their product marketing strategies. But, this couldn’t be further from the truth. If anything, in an enterprise organization, you should be continuing to fight for the lead you have, with the help of your larger team size, budget, and resources, and putting them to good use by consistently researching and implementing new and improved strategies. The goal should always be to try and improve the customer experience, reduce churn, and always win the market. Because you’re an enterprise business, and likely have done multiple product launches, you can use these to your advantage. Carrying out research like win/loss analysis and Customer Advisory Boards (CABs) is a great way to see how you can further improve and refine your products. And, as always, ensure the focus for this is always on your customers, as their opinion is the most important when it comes to your product. One of the biggest challenges that enterprise businesses face, and that start-ups probably don't, is that of busier processes. If your company is large and you're marketing multiple products, you might be given a bigger project with unrealistic timelines, for example." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Go-to-Market strategy examples", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Fitbit Smart Coach You know FitBit, the manufacturer of those activity trackers that look like smartwatches, well a few years ago the company launched Smart Coach, a premium service and personal training app, that integrates with the user’s FitBit. Their GTM strategy started with simple, attainable objectives, including: Building brand awareness Increasing subscription revenue Improving the subscription attach rate Launching the “Get More With FitBit” campaign which involved using both paid and owned channels to reach the target audience (FitBit’s users). Paid channels included retargeting display ads that directed potential customers to a landing page. They also used push notifications, social media accounts, and newsletters to reach their target customers. The result: The company earned $192 million in revenue.

Some factors affecting CX that you may look to refine and improve are:</p><ul><li>Product design/quality,</li><li>Accessibility,</li><li><a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/importance-of-reducing-cognitive-load/">Reducing cognitive load</a>,</li><li>Pricing (discounts, freebies, etc.),</li><li>Convenience, and</li><li>Availability.</li></ul><p>In order to do this, ensure that you’re carrying out accurate and appropriate testing. One of the simpler tests you can carry out is <a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/a-b-testing-your-ticket-to-defining-high-intent-customers-for-funnel-acceleration/">A/B testing</a>, which many PMMs argue is one of the most important tests to implement, especially when just starting out. </p><p><strong>Siddhartha Kathpalia, </strong>Associate Director (Marketing, Americas + Product) at VWO said:</p><blockquote>“A/B testing is a great methodology for making incremental changes and being sure of impact but it isn't great when a strategy needs to be deployed. It’s great when there is sizable data available, but not when there isn't enough traffic. A/B testing is great to ensure metrics maintain at the same level or grow, but not to disrupt the market.</blockquote><blockquote>“Everything can be A/B tested, but not everything should be. I've been able to demonstrate two changes that led to 150% growth for two organizations that have helped me grow too.”</blockquote><figure class="kg-card kg-bookmark-card"><a class="kg-bookmark-container" href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/90-product-marketing-tips/"><div class="kg-bookmark-content"><div class="kg-bookmark-title">90+ product marketing tips</div><div class="kg-bookmark-description">Product marketing is like life itself - the more you live it, the more you learn, and the better equipped you become to pass on invaluable lessons to others.

But, this couldn’t be further from the truth. </p><p>If anything, in an enterprise organization, you should be continuing to fight for the lead you have, with the help of your larger team size, budget, and resources, and putting them to good use by consistently researching and implementing new and improved strategies. The goal should always be to try and improve the customer experience, reduce churn, and always win the market.</p><p>Because you’re an enterprise business and likely have done multiple product launches, you can use these to your advantage. Carrying out research like <a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/how-to-conduct-win-loss-interviews/">win/loss analysis</a> and <a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/the-benefits-of-customer-advisory-boards/">Customer Advisory Boards</a> (CABs) is a great way to see how you can further improve and refine your products. And, as always, ensure the focus for this is always on your customers, as their opinion is the most important when it comes to your product. </p><p>One of the biggest challenges that enterprise businesses face, and that start-ups probably don't, is that of busier processes. If your company is large and you're marketing multiple products, you might be given a bigger project with unrealistic timelines, for example. </p><p>When we asked <strong>Jeremy Castile, </strong><a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/product-marketing-insider-series/?wchannelid=hodsl9jsd3&wmediaid=e9tu02bts6">Senior Director of Product and Alliance Marketing at Docker</a> the advice he’d give to those struggling with this challenge, he said: </p><blockquote>“Try and work as early as you can with the product and engineering team. </blockquote><blockquote>“But beyond that, let's say you have 30 days to go launch a major project or product that you just got told about. The number one thing is to stay focused, don't panic, but see if you can create an MVP, a minimum viable product, if you will, for this launch. </blockquote><blockquote>“Ask yourself: What are the must-haves? What are the things that you can trim to do post-launch? Because if you look at a launch list of all the things that you need to do for a launch, some things can be pushed, and other things are absolute must-haves for a go-to-market launch. </blockquote><blockquote>“So I would say that's one of the ways that I've been able to overcome the challenge of not having enough time. I’ve told myself: "Okay, we have this long list of things that we need to do. Let's organize this by what's must-have, what's nice to have, and what can be pushed to post-launch". </blockquote><blockquote>“All of a sudden, you start finding all these things that you could go "Okay, we don't have to have that in 30 days", or whatever the short timeline is. So that's been super helpful.”</blockquote><h2 id="go-to-market-strategy-challenges-and-resolutions">Go-to-market strategy challenges and resolutions</h2><p><a href="https://www.productmarketingalliance.com/product-marketing-insider-series/?wchannelid=hodsl9jsd3&wmediaid=e9tu02bts6"><strong>Jeremy Castile, </strong>Senior Director of Product and Alliance Marketing at Docker</a>, is a GTM expert, and shared advice for overcoming common challenges and mistakes.</p><p>Here's what he had to say:</p><p><strong>Q: What challenges have you previously faced when putting together a go-to-market strategy or working on a product launch?

There are always new products, always new features, always new campaigns, new content, and things that need to be cooked.

I’ve told myself: "Okay, we have this long list of things that we need to do. Let's organize this by what's must-have, what's nice to have, and what can be pushed to post-launch".</p><p>“All of a sudden, you start finding all these things that you could go "Okay, we don't have to have that in 30 days", or whatever the short timeline is. So that's been super helpful.”</p><p><strong>Q: Everyone needs to make mistakes to learn and develop. What are some of the common mistakes that you've seen product marketers make when putting together a strategy? And what advice would you give product marketers to help them avoid the same pitfalls?”</strong></p><p>A: “I think one of the easiest traps to fall into as a product marketer, and I've fallen into this trap myself, is where your product, feature, brand, or company becomes the hero of your product launch’s narrative instead of the user or the customer.</p><p>“It’s a common pitfall where you see PMMs launching new products or features, and starting the story with, "here's a new feature, and here are all the capabilities" or "here's what makes this feature cool". would say instead flip that.</p><p>“Instead of placing an emphasis on the product or company, go user in, and answer questions such as: what are the challenges that your user faces? What are their aspirations? What are their goals? Make the customer the hero of the story. Who is that person? What are their goals? What do they want to achieve? How are they growing their business?</p><p>“This makes your narrative much stronger and more compelling. That's just one of the common pitfalls I've seen with PMMs, and it's easy to fall into because as a PMM, we are product marketing people. We're focused on the product, we buy into the story of the product, and we know everything about the product.</p><p>“We sometimes assume that our users already know all the background of this product and the story and the features behind it. But I think there's some education you have to do there in pulling your user back to the middle of the story, I think it's super important.”</p><h2 id="go-to-market-strategy-examples">Go-to-market strategy examples</h2><h3 id="fitbit-smart-coach">Fitbit Smart Coach</h3><p>You know FitBit, the manufacturer of those activity trackers that look like smartwatches, well a few years ago the company launched Smart Coach, a premium service and personal training app, that integrates with the user’s FitBit.</p><p>Their GTM strategy started with simple, attainable objectives, including:</p><ul><li>Building brand awareness</li><li>Increasing subscription revenue</li><li>Improving the subscription attach rate</li></ul><p>Launching the “Get More With FitBit” campaign which involved using both paid and owned channels to reach the target audience (FitBit’s users).</p><p>Paid channels included retargeting display ads that directed potential customers to a landing page.</p><p>They also used push notifications, social media accounts, and newsletters to reach their target customers.</p><p>The result: The company earned $192 million in revenue.</p><h3 id="upscope">Upscope</h3><p>Upscope is an interactive screen-sharing service.</p><p>They could have easily been just another standard screen-sharing program, targeting the usual suspects.
