Overview

This skill helps product leaders and teams plan and execute successful go-to-market (GTM) strategies and product launches. It combines GTM model selection, positioning templates, a 12-week launch plan, launch-week runbooks, and sales enablement tools to drive measurable outcomes. Use it to coordinate teams, reduce launch risk, and accelerate time-to-value.

How this skill works

I walk you through choosing the right GTM model (direct sales, self-service, SMB, or channel) based on ACV, sales cycle, and team structure. I provide a compact positioning template and ICP checklist, a week-by-week 12-week launch plan with concrete deliverables, a launch-day schedule, and post-launch recovery steps. You also get sales one-pager and pitch structures, objection handling scripts, and the key metrics to monitor during and after launch.

When to use it

• Preparing a first public launch or major feature release
• Deciding between direct, freemium, SMB, or partner GTM models
• Coordinating cross-functional launch readiness across product, sales, marketing, and support
• Onboarding sales and support teams before launch week
• Running a beta program to validate product/market fit

Best practices

• Choose a GTM model aligned to ACV and target buyer behavior, not wishful thinking
• Lock go/no-go criteria and launch date during kickoff to avoid last-minute slips
• Run a 50–100 user beta to catch stability issues and validate messaging
• Train sales and support at least two weeks before launch and provide one-pager collateral
• Monitor acquisition, engagement, and retention metrics from day one and iterate quickly

Example use cases

• Launching a SaaS product targeting 50–500 employee tech companies with a direct sales motion
• Switching an app from invite-only beta to self-serve growth with a freemium model
• Coordinating a partner-led marketplace launch with reseller enablement materials
• Preparing a 12-week launch roadmap and checklists for a cross-functional product release
• Creating sales enablement materials and a 3-minute pitch for rapid prospecting
