Mastering Product Success with the Innovative Product Go-To-Market Roadmap™
In the high-risk, dynamic world of product development, ensuring a successful market entry demands a strategic approach that goes beyond conventional tactics. Even for seasoned product makers and product marketers, the Innovative Product Go-To-Market Roadmap™ by Graphos Product offers a unique and original solution. This Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy is far from a boilerplate, cliche-ridden plan; it’s your bespoke, objective and comprehensive blueprint for product success.
The Innovative Product Go-To-Market Roadmap™ — The Shortest Path to Product Success
Graphos Product’s Innovative Product Go-To-Market Roadmap™ is your strategic gateway to launching a product that not only stands out but thrives in the market. It’s based on a process we’ve refined over decades of collaboration with busy product leaders from numerous sectors, consisting of three key steps:
1.
Discovery Workshops: Your GTM Foundation
The journey starts with the Discovery Workshops, a crucial phase requiring the involvement of all client decision-makers.
Through one or two efficient sessions, we gather the essential information we will need to shape your product’s positioning and initiate the Roadmap development: information that can only be sourced from your team as the subject matter experts. This phase lays the foundation for the entire strategy and is supplemented by our research and analysis, which may include optional market surveys, focus groups and one-on-one persona interviews.
2.
Roadmap Building: Crafting Your Path to Success
Once we have gathered those unique insights and details from your leadership and product teams, our experienced strategy team takes over.
Over the next 15-20 business days, we conduct thorough research and build out your personalized Roadmap and Action Plan. This is where the magic happens, as we craft your comprehensive guide to navigate the complexities and challenges of your product’s market entry.
3.
Delivery Session: Your Roadmap Unveiled
In the final step, we present your GTM Roadmap, once again requiring the participation of all client decision-makers.
During this session, which lasts a minimum of two hours (and generally a little longer, as we have a lot to cover), we explain our findings and recommendations, ensuring your team is aligned and fully prepared to embark on this exciting journey.
Our comprehensive and efficient approach ensures your product is not just launched in a flurry of high-fives ( too often followed by a flurry of chirping crickets) but strategically guided towards success, with product flying out the door. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, CMO, product maker or product manager, your GTM Roadmap equips you with the knowledge, accountability and confidence needed for a successful product launch, in a beautifully designed, easy-to-read and sharable deck format.
An Inspiring, Pragmatic Approach to GTM
Your team members and stakeholders have grown to despise cliches and resent AI-generated content — and the Innovative Product Go-To-Market Roadmap™ offers a dynamic, data-driven, and fully original approach that guides your product through every phase of the launch. Our aim is not just to be complete and authoritative, but to be interesting and extremely helpful in moving the needle. Your Roadmap empowers your product development, customer experience and marketing teams to make informed decisions and execute your GTM strategy with incredible precision.
