Developing your go to market strategy by Kris Konrath, Convergent Digital Ignition
Learn about developing your go to market strategy. We’ll take a look at the five key components to developing a go to market strategy including your target market, marketing channels, messaging, pricing & packaging and customer acquisition cost. By Kris Konrath, Marketing Director at Convergent
Product market fit is achieved by finding the successful intersection of product iteration, competition/market and go-to-market strategy. Finding product market fit (PMF), however, is hard when these three factors confound problem solving in the search for PMF.
Fortunately, competition tends to be roughly constant over the period in which a startup is solving for PMF. To control between product iteration and GTM, go-to-market can be broken into five sub-steps in any of which product changes are small enough not to confound. This allows GTM tactics and strategy to be tested and proven or disproven.
The five steps are first sale, founder sales, first sales person, sales leadership, scaling sales - each a distinct stage that can be tested and measured. There are metrics abound to measure sales performance, but many - including funnel conversion metrics, LTV and CAC - are fuzzy and imprecise in the early stages of a startup. What matters is whether a software business is adding adequate net new revenue per cash burned as measured by monthly increase in MRR per monthly net cash burned. Cash efficiency should go up at each successive go-to-market step.

The document proposes establishing a centralized Customer Marketing Team to better leverage customer references and testimonials across all of Inprise's marketing and sales activities.

The new process would involve a team coordinating all customer activities, understanding the sales process, gaining direct executive involvement, being solution-focused, aligning with marketing objectives, incentivizing customer participation, and having a customer database. The team would include representatives from various departments and work closely with sales, product marketing, PR, and vertical programs.

Senior leaders often want to see months - or years - long product roadmaps. But these predictions often do not create products your customers will love. While customers aren’t fickle, they often do not know what they want until you give them something to try. That means product leaders need to integrate experiments and options into their roadmaps.
In this presentation, Johanna Rothman will explain:
• How to limit the duration of a roadmap and show possible options.
• Clarify the three ideas of experiments including defining what to measure, how long to experiment, and when to learn from the experiment.
• What to do when your customers react differently to your experiment, including when half your customers love the feature and the other half hate it.
• How to set expectations for senior leaders and customers for when the roadmap will change.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:

• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals

Inquiries who didn’t pass BANT qualification.
People who abandon shopping carts.

Industry influencers, analysts, press, etc.
• Include some non-sales content (e.g. articles, papers, video)

Let’s start with some fairly weak offers:

points.
• Download brochures or spec sheet.
22. 226. Create a Compelling Offer

• Reinforces your brand promise.
• Interesting enough to cut through the marketplace clutter.
• make a strong statement
