Are you frustrated by pouring effort and resources into your product only to see minimal traction in the market?
Do you sit there, questioning what it will take to make your product resonate with your audience and truly meet their needs?
You're certainly not in this struggle alone. Many entrepreneurs and product developers notice their products failing to capture the market's attention and realize that a strategic pivot is necessary.
The most successful products don't just happen by chance. They achieve Product-Market Fit.
And Product-Market-Fit has been the single most crucial, yet often neglected, element I've observed in my experience as a growth advisor.
Below are the reasons why that happens...
You don't want to wait 14 years to become profitable (that's how long it took Uber).
Time is of the essence in the startup world, and making strategic, impactful decisions quickly is crucial.
The GTM Strategist is your step-by-step guide to embracing the mindset of 'You can do anything, but not everything.'
It's about focusing your efforts where they count, streamlining your path to success.
Discover how to achieve product-market fit and develop a sustainable business model, whether you're bootstrapping or seeking investment, all within 3 to 18 months.
Let's simplify your journey to success.
How to use lessons from special ops to develop the strategic muscle and punching power to succeed when going to market. We play to win guerilla-style, and our objectives drive us.
How to understand your market better than ever and find opportunities where you will most likely win. We do that little by little - using a Beachhead Strategy - winning one beach at a time.
The book will help you become laser-focused on NOT your ideal customer, but the one you can actually win in the first 3 to 18 months. This will help you get off the ground, show reasonable traction, and chase ideal customers later.
How to develop rapid feedback loops MUCH faster by testing unique value propositions (UVPs), minimal viable products (MVPs), and get your analytics stack to learn from what actually happens when you test these assumptions.
The users may love the product, but will they pay for it? This is one of the most challenging elements for founders. All other GTM elements spend your money. Pricing makes it back. Pricing is just a mechanism of capturing and exchanging value that your product creates. In this chapter, you'll learn about the different pricing strategies that build a sustainable business model.
Covers how to effectively position your product in the market to control the narrative, including a step-by-step positioning process, and special considerations for messaging tailored to your target audience to ensure your product stands out. It is not just what you say. It is how you say it. And you'll learn exactly how inside this book.
You'll learn the seven proven-to-work channels for GTM companies that are most likely to get the critical mass of traction. This will show you exactly where to find users and the most sustainable way to build a healthy and predictable acquisition engine and scale it with virality and other growth loops.
How to bring the process to life so you can start scaling - to go from early adopters to early majority effectively. You'll find out exactly how to cross the chasm where 95% of innovations fail, and you'll see exactly how to get your company in shape for the growth stage.
Dive into the essence of a successful product product launch with my Fast Start Video Training. This concise training provides essential strategies and insights to effectively bring your product to market, tailored for founders and product managers looking for a quick yet impactful start.

Fill out this framework, and you'll end up with a fully developed positioning plan tailored to reach your product-market fit. This step-by-step framework will walk you through identifying your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), differentiating your product, and honing your value proposition and unique selling points. Not only that, it will assist with practical implementation strategies for your fresh positioning. You will see growth user acquisition and sales, higher conversion rates, and more traction.

A comprehensive guide to various GTM strategies, depending on product, business model, venture type or market maturity. Not an easy evening reading - it requires solid understanding of digital marketing operations. The book is embracing and building on classics like "crossing the chasm", "lean start-up" and other important works. The structure of the book makes it demanding, but an active reader will be rewarded with hands-on guidance for effective GTM planning with performing marketing operations.

Maja 100% knows her stuff. So many books like this look at it through the lens of applying to already super-established businesses. But this is written in a way that makes it invaluable to startups and earlier stage companies taking something to market for the first time. Excellent book for startup founders and marketers.

About the author
Maja Voje spent 11 years in growth and marketing, working with companies like Google, Rocket Internet, Bayer, and Heineken, along with more than 350 startups.
A common issue these startups faced was that most go-to-market advice came from the context of enterprise companies and wasn't suited for them.
That's why Maja decided to write this book - to finally offer a clear methodology for finding product-market fit, even if you're a small, scrappy startup.
All of the concepts have been battle-tested by more than 150 companies. My approach was tested with founders, developers, product managers, UX and design experts, and growth and marketing professionals. They all found actionable advice in it.
All of the concepts have been battle-tested by more than 400+ companies. My approach was tested with founders, developers, product managers, UX and design experts, and growth and marketing professionals. They all found actionable advice in it.
The book is was initially written for B2B SaaS, product and service companies. Readers from service industries and e-commerce liked it too, but most examples in the book are centered on B2B.
We developed step by step guidance, templates, checklist and community where you can find more guidance and support- what is best - you will never be alone on this journey.
