Capability 05 · Business Development & Strategy
Go-to-market strategy
Your first 100 customers: positioning, channels, sales motion, pricing and launch sequence.
Overview
Good products fail on distribution. We design the route to your first hundred customers: the message that lands, the channels worth paying for, the sales motion your team can run repeatedly, and a launch sequence costed week by week so you know what you are spending and what it should return.
Who it is for
- Founders launching a first product or service
- Businesses whose sales depend on the owner personally
- Teams entering a new segment or channel
How we work
- 01PositioningThe one claim you own, expressed in the customer's language, with proof behind it.
- 02Channel selectionWhere your buyer already is, tested against cost to acquire and time to first sale.
- 03Sales motionThe repeatable sequence from first contact to signed customer, with scripts and objection handling.
- 04Pricing and offerPackaging, entry offers and terms that convert without eroding margin.
- 05Launch sequenceA costed 90-day plan with weekly targets and a single owner per activity.
What you receive
- Positioning and messaging framework
- Channel plan with acquisition cost estimates
- Sales playbook, scripts and pipeline stages
- Offer and pricing structure
- Costed 90-day launch calendar
Questions we are asked
- Do you run the campaigns?
- We design the plan and can work alongside your team or agency through the first cycle.
- What if the channel does not work?
- The plan is built to be measured weekly, so a failing channel is cut early rather than funded for a year.
