Strategy

First PublishedLast UpdatedByAtif Alam

Strategy is the upstream layer of the GTM stack: the decisions about who you serve, what distinct value you offer, and how you capture it. Every downstream choice — channels, messaging, pricing pages, sales scripts, onboarding flows — inherits from these three.

The order matters and is causal: a shift in ICP changes positioning, which changes pricing, which changes how Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success operate.

Pages:

  • ICP & SegmentationWho is the ideal customer, and who do we deliberately ignore?
  • PositioningWhat distinct value do we offer, against which alternatives?
  • Pricing & PackagingHow do we capture value — model, tiers, and the value metric?
