01

Understand GTM

Go-to-market, or GTM, is your plan for reaching and winning customers: who you sell to, what you say, where you find them, how you sell, and how you measure results. AI can speed up every part, but strategy and relationships still need people.

AI brings speed. A clear strategy sets the direction.

02

Research the market

  • Summarize competitor offers, pricing, and reviews
  • Spot the common complaints in your category
  • Map market trends and buying triggers
  • Verify every fact and every source
03

Define your ideal customer

Using these ten best customers, describe our ideal customer profile: company size, industry, role, pains, buying triggers, and objections. Call out patterns and gaps.

04

Sharpen positioning and messaging

  • Who it serves and the problem it solves
  • How it differs from the alternatives
  • Proof, such as results, customers, and data
  • AI-drafted message angles to test against each other

Write five positioning statements for [product] aimed at [ICP], each leading with a different main benefit. Keep them plain, specific, and provable.

05

Research pricing

Use AI to compare competitor pricing pages and sum up how they package plans. Then test prices with real customers. AI cannot tell you what people will pay.

Email and LinkedIn outreach to a focused list

Measure and improve
