In a period characterized by digital transformation and changing buyer behaviors, the conventional frameworks of B2B Go-to-Market (GTM) strategies are transforming. The traditional divide between sales and marketing is giving way to a more multifaceted and holistic approach that spans the entire spectrum of revenue generation.
The notion of GTM is expanding beyond product launches and is embracing all revenue-facing functions. The contemporary GTM team extends beyond the conventional boundaries of sales and marketing, now necessitating the inclusion of additional departments such as product and customer success.
Consequently, organizations are no longer relying on a single GTM approach; instead, they are often employing a combination of strategies, each requiring a unique approach and investment for efficient growth. Organizations are adopting various approaches to their GTM strategy, including product-led, lead-based, and account-led, among others. This amalgamation of approaches underscores the realization that GTM is no longer a singular event but an ongoing and dynamic process involving multiple strategies for optimal success.
Some of the major GTM strategies are:
Inbound-Led: It utilizes content marketing (paid, organic, social, email marketing, etc.) to attract and convert customers. The marketing team qualifies leads for the sales team
Outbound-Led: It involves coordinated and targeted account outreach. It utilizes account-based marketing and selling, 1:1 advertising, content hubs, and sales development representatives (SDRs)
Product-Led: It focuses on product-driven adoption, usage, upselling, cross-selling, retention, and expansion. It also utilizes third-party developers/partners to build and promote a broader ecosystem of complementary products and services around a core product or platform
Partner/Channel-Led: It encompasses unified indirect selling programs and includes activation through channels, ecosystems, referrals, affiliates, resellers, and partnerships
Event-Led: It leverages premium event experiences to drive quality connections and includes targeted educational roadshow events, both in-person and virtual
Community-Led: It aims to establish thought leadership and create a new category around a transformative idea. It is driven by industry experts, influencers, and satisfied customers
Organizations encounter various challenges when implementing GTM strategies, including:
Misalignment between sales and marketing
Inability to forecast sales for the upcoming quarters
Anticipating market challenges proactively
Difficulty in comprehending and addressing evolving customer needs
Competitive differentiation in terms of value proposition, pricing, and overall market positioning
Delivering personalized customer experience across various touchpoints
