They struggle to describe their go-to-market strategy in a clear and focused manner. Usually, when startups are asked about their go-to-market strategy they’d answer something like: “we’re doing direct sales” or “we’ll do online sales.” That’s not a go-to-market strategy. Those are sales tactics. Let’s dive in so you know how to tackle this and blow investors away. #startups #Slidebean #pitchdeck 0:00 - Intro 0:37 - Go to market strategy: Basics 1:32 - Go to market strategy: Startups need to focus 4:11 - Go to market strategy: The initial customer segment litmus test FREE Go-to-market strategy template: https://youtube.slidebean.com/gtm-strategy-template?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=pitchdeckerrors Subscribe to @DreamItVentures's YouTube Channel!
