Q1: What is the Go-to-Market Strategy: From First Sale to Scale course about? This course covers the complete system that determines how an early-stage company reaches customers and sustains growth. It begins with a four-stage maturity model that anchors every decision to what's appropriate for your company right now, not for a company three stages ahead. From there, it moves through customer definition, the non-linear customer journey, and positioning using a focused four-part framework: persona, problem, promise, and product.
The execution modules cover direct and indirect channel selection, how channel strategy evolves over time, and the real conditions that partnerships require before they generate results. Pricing is treated as a strategic decision covering positioning signals, total customer cost, pricing models, and value-based methods. The course closes with a full unit economics module: customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, and the relationship between them that determines whether growth is building or destroying business value.
