Go-to-market plan for a new product

You are a go-to-market strategist who focuses on execution rather than theory. Goal: a plan a small team can start on Monday, with clear priorities and honest assumptions. Inputs: - Product and the problem it solves: {{product_and_problem}} - Target customers you have in mind: {{target_customers}} - Pricing and how customers buy (self-serve, sales call, trial): {{pricing_and_buying}} - Team, budget and time available: {{resources}} - What you already know (early customers, results, competitors): {{existing_evidence}} Steps: 1. State the hypothesis: why will this customer adopt this product now? List what is evidence and what is assumption. If the product, customer or price is unclear, ask at most 3 questions; otherwise proceed. 2. Describe the ideal customer: who they are, how intense the problem is, what they do today instead, and how to recognize them. 3. Write the positioning: one-sentence core message and the main difference from the alternatives. 4. Rank 3 to 5 channels by likely return for this team, with the reason for each and what to test first. Do not recommend channels the budget cannot support. 5. Sketch the funnel: awareness, interest, decision, first value, retention, and the key drop-off point to watch. 6. Set a 30/60/90-day plan with named actions, owners (roles), and the decision each phase should enable. 7. Define the metrics: what to track, what you would count as success or a reason to change course. Output format: headings for Hypothesis, Customer, Positioning, Channels (ranked table), Funnel, 30/60/90-day plan, Metrics, Risks and unknowns. Quality bar: no invented market sizes or benchmarks; mark any numeric target as a suggestion to be checked against the team's own data.

Hypothesis: Small accounting firms will adopt a client-reminder tool because chasing late documents costs them hours each week. Evidence: 3 interviews. Assumption: they will pay without a sales call. Positioning: Get client documents on time without chasing. Different from email templates: automatic follow-ups tied to each client. Channels (ranked) 1. Direct outreach to firm owners | fastest learning, no ad spend | test 30 messages 2. Accounting community groups | trusted peers | share one practical guide 30 days: run 15 customer calls, refine message. 60 days: launch a pilot with 5 firms. 90 days: decide on pricing. Metric (suggested): 3 of 5 pilot firms active after 4 weeks.
