Crafting a Go-to-Market Plan When You’re Just Starting Out

Launching something new? It’s easy to get lost in the weeds; product details, logo tweaks, social handles, and forget the bigger picture: How are we bringing this to market in a way that builds momentum?

A Go-to-Market (GTM) plan helps you clarify how to reach the right people, with the right message, at the right time.

Start with Three Core Questions:

1. Who is this really for?

2. What is our unfair advantage or clear differentiator?

3. Where do we show up first — and why?

GTM Planning in Three Phases:

• Phase 1: Alignment. What are we offering, who are we for, and what’s our core message?

• Phase 2: Activation. Which channels are most likely to reach early adopters — and how will we test, learn, and adapt?

• Phase 3: Acceleration. Once something works, how do we double down and build repeatable systems?

Pro Tip:

Don’t try to “launch everywhere.” Start small, get wins, and build momentum.

A GTM plan isn’t just a marketing calendar — it’s your growth engine blueprint.
