Wählen Sie Ihre primäre Herausforderung. Die folgenden Auswertungen passen sich automatisch an Ihren Fall an. [Nichts trifft zu? Reibungsverluste prüfen](/checkliste) Lead-Qualität & Übergabe ##### „Marketing bringt Leads, aber der Vertrieb lehnt sie ab“ Die Werbebudgets bringen viele Formular-Anfragen, aber wenig echtes Kaufinteresse. Marketing zählt Anfragen, der Vertrieb braucht Gespräche mit Kaufabsicht. Diesen Fall wählen & berechnen Angebote & Abschlüsse ##### „Deals versauern in der Pipeline oder platzen am Preis“ Der Vertrieb nimmt Anfragen an, aber Entscheidungen dauern ewig. Es fehlt eine klare Nutzen-Argumentation und eine Prüfung, welche Angebote wirklich Chancen haben. Diesen Fall wählen & berechnen Getrennte Teams, getrennte Zahlen ##### „Marketing & Vertrieb arbeiten ohne gemeinsame Datenbasis“ Beide Teams sehen im CRM nicht, was das andere Team tut. Niemand kann am Ende sagen, welche Maßnahme wirklich zu Umsatz geführt hat. Diesen Fall wählen & berechnen Steigende Kosten pro Kunde ##### „Die Kosten pro neuem Kunden steigen schneller als der Umsatz“ Wachstum lohnt sich nicht mehr. Auf dem Weg von der ersten Anfrage bis zum Auftrag geht zu viel verloren. Diesen Fall wählen & berechnen Der mxd Ansatz ## Kein Berater-Sprech. Echte Wirkung im Tagesgeschäft.

What you need is a clear plan for how to bring it to market and scale it. That is your GTM strategy. Start GTM audit ## What is a go-to-market strategy really? Definition: A go-to-market strategy (GTM) is the master plan a company uses to bring its product to market efficiently and scale it sustainably. It is not a marketing plan, not a sales playbook and not a product launch. It is the roof above all of it. Your GTM strategy answers five central questions: 1. 1 Who are we, and who do we help? (Positioning & ICP) 2. 2 How do we sell? (Sales playbook & sales process) 3. 3 What does it cost us, and what do we earn? (Pricing & monetisation) 4. 4 How do we expand into new markets? (Market expansion, for example APAC) 5. 5 How do we keep customers after the deal? (Customer success & retention) Together these five pillars form your revenue engine, a system that makes growth predictable and repeatable. ### Without a clear GTM strategy - You depend on referrals and coincidence - Your customer acquisition costs keep rising - You cannot scale without breaking everything ### With a clear GTM strategy - Growth becomes predictable - You win customers systematically - Scaling works repeatably ## The five pillars of a working GTM strategy Every pillar carries part of your revenue engine. If one is missing, all of your growth wobbles. 1 ### Positioning & ICP definition Who are we, who do we help? Positioning answers the question: why should the market care about us and not about the 50 others? A sharp ICP (ideal customer profile) answers: which companies, in which industries, with which problem are our best customers? The problem without this pillar You try to serve everyone. Your message dilutes. Your acquisition costs explode. The goal Positioning that is understood immediately. An ICP so sharply defined that you can say no. [More on strategy & goals](/en/strategy-goals) 2 ### Sales playbook & sales process How do we sell? A sales playbook is not a guidebook, it is an operational process: which steps lead from first contact to closed deal? Which questions do we ask when? Which documents are created when? How long does each stage take? The problem without this pillar Your sales team works on gut feeling. Everyone does their own thing. Sales cycles are uncontrollably long. The goal A repeatable process everyone understands and follows. Predictable sales. [More on handover to sales](/en/handover-sales) 3 ### Pricing & monetisation What does it cost us, and what do we earn? Pricing is not just a number, it is a strategic decision: are we cost-based, value-based, or do we use dynamic models? Monetisation answers: how do we earn? One-off sale, subscription, usage-based, freemium? The problem without this pillar You underprice yourself, or you lose deals because the price is too high. Churn rises because the price does not match the customer experience. The goal A pricing strategy that is profitable and competitive. Monetisation that fits your business model. [More on offer & closing](/en/offer-closing) 4 ### Market expansion How do we enter new regions? APAC, Northern Europe, the US: every market is different. Regulation, culture, buying behaviour and competition differ fundamentally. A GTM strategy for new markets answers: in which order do we expand? How do we adapt positioning, pricing and sales to local conditions? The problem without this pillar You copy your home GTM one to one into new markets and fail. The goal Controlled expansion into markets that match your profile. Fewer failures, more wins. [More on Asia and DACH expansion](/en/asia-b2b-gtm-expansion) 5 ### Customer success & retention How do we keep customers after the deal? The deal is not the end, it is the beginning. Customer success answers: how do we make sure the customer realises value? How do we prevent churn? How do we expand inside existing accounts through upsell and cross-sell? The problem without this pillar High acquisition costs evaporate. Churn is uncontrolled. Revenue is volatile. The goal A system that makes customers successful. NRR above 100 percent because expansion beats churn. Predictable recurring revenue. [More on shared KPIs](/en/marketing-sales-shared-kpi) Not sure which of the five pillars is breaking in your setup? In a GTM audit we see it in one session. Start GTM audit ## Why your current GTM strategy does not work Five patterns show up in almost every audit. If you recognise one of them, you know where your growth is stuck. ![A fractured blue funnel with drifting segments, symbolising a go-to-market strategy that does not work](/assets/probleme-DgxrUWP8.jpg) 01 ### Dependence on referrals instead of systematic acquisition Your first customers came through your personal network. Now you are trying to scale, but without systematic lead generation. The consequence: Growth stalls. Every new deal costs more time and money than the last. You cannot scale predictably. 02 ### Message-market fit is unclear You cannot explain your product in two sentences. Your target audience does not immediately understand why they need your solution. The consequence: Marketing campaigns do not work. Sales has to explain everything. Conversion rates drop. 03 ### The ICP is too broad or too vague You try to serve too many segments. We help everyone in this industry is not an ICP, it is an excuse. The consequence: Your message dilutes. CAC explodes. You compete with established players in segments you cannot win. 04 ### Feature selling instead of business cases Your sales team argues about features instead of business cases. The tool does X instead of: the tool saves you 50,000 euros a year. The consequence: Longer sales cycles. More objections. Lower win rates. 05 ### No discipline in saying no You take every customer, even those outside your ICP. Customer success suffers and churn rises. The consequence: Higher acquisition costs for weaker customers. Negative NRR. Unpredictable growth. Several of these patterns feel familiar? Then the problem is not your team, it is the foundation. Describe your situation ## The three operational solution steps From an honest assessment through clear decisions into execution. 01 ### GTM audit: where do you stand today? Before you change anything, you need to understand where you stand today. A GTM audit analyses: - Your current positioning and ICP definition: sharp or diluted? - Your sales process: repeatable or chaos? - Your pricing logic: do you earn enough, or do you underprice? - Your market presence: where do you win customers, where not? - Your customer success structure: is churn controlled or volatile? Outcome: You know your strengths and weak spots in concrete terms. 02 ### GTM strategy: clear definitions and processes Based on the audit you redefine: - Positioning & ICP: who are we, and where do we win? - Sales playbook: which process leads to closed deals? - Pricing: what do we earn, and why is that fair? - Market roadmap: which markets do we build when? - Customer success structure: how do we make sure customers succeed? Outcome: This is not a 100-page PDF, it is a set of clear operational decisions. All teams work towards the same plan. 03 ### Operational excellence: implementation and iteration A strategy without execution is just paper. We build together: - the marketing machine for your ICP - the sales process with clear stages and KPIs - the pricing model inside the CRM - the processes for market expansion - the customer success team and its routines Outcome: Monthly reviews, adjustments to market changes, continuous optimisation. Growth becomes predictable instead of coincidental. ## GTM strategy is not optional, it is your foundation Many companies invest in tools, in talent and in ad spend, but build without a foundation. A clear GTM strategy is not a nice-to-have. It is the basis on which everything else works: - Marketing becomes efficient - Sales becomes repeatable - Customer acquisition becomes calculable - Growth becomes predictable Three ways to start: Option 1 ### Assess it yourself Use our interactive checklist. In a few questions you see where marketing and sales drift apart in your company. [Open the checklist](/en/checklist) Option 2 ### Quantify the impact With the ROI calculator you quantify in a few minutes how much revenue is currently left on the table in your pipeline. [Open the ROI calculator](/en#roi-rechner) Option 3 ### Professional guidance In a free 30 minute intro call we show you where your biggest levers are. Then you decide. Book an intro call Contact ## Together we build the bridge Every week without a functioning pipeline costs you more than 30 minutes of your time. In the initial consultation (free, 30 minutes) you get an outside perspective on your situation. No pitch. Then you decide. ### Write to us Send message ## Frequently asked questions about GTM strategy ### How often should we review our ICP? ### Do we need to define several ICPs? ### What is the difference between ICP and target market?
