GTM playbook v1
Bank 01 of 5 · Audience & demand

Who's actually in market right now,
and what would they buy if you offered it?

01

Who is your highest-LTV customer profile?

Look at your last 12 months of closed customers, sorted by lifetime revenue. Describe the top decile — title, industry, size, why they buy from you specifically.

02

Who's a terrible customer fit?

The ones that churn fast, complain often, or take 3× the support load for 1× the revenue. Be honest. We're going to actively repel these.

03

What's the buying trigger?

When a high-LTV customer first hears about you, what's typically going on in their world? New funding, new hire, regulatory change, a competitor failure?

Bank 02 of 5 · Positioning & perception

How does the market see you today,
and is that the way you want to be seen?

04

In a sentence — where do you sit?

Complete: "We're the [X] for [Y] who want [Z]." If three different team members would write three different versions, that's a finding worth naming.

If you had to bet ₹1 cr on one positioning being right — which would it be?
05

What do you want customers to actually feel?

Three emotions. Not adjectives like "trustworthy" — actual feelings, like the feeling you get when you find a good doctor or a good mechanic.

Bank 03 of 5 · Channels & mechanics

Where do leads actually come from?
Where do they get stuck?

06

Channel truth-table.

For each channel — current spend, current return. Be honest. We'll redirect spend in session 2.

07

Where does the funnel leak the most?

Walk through your funnel stage-by-stage. Visitor → lead → qualified → demo → close. Where's the biggest dropoff? What's your hypothesis for why?

Bank 04 of 5 · Competitors & counter-positioning

Who's eating your lunch,
and what are they actually doing right?

08

Name the three you worry about most.

Not necessarily the biggest. The ones whose moves you actually track.

09

What does each one do better than you?

One sentence per. We're not building copies. We're identifying gaps to acknowledge or to actively reposition against.

Bank 05 of 5 · Twelve-month vision

If we get this right —
what's different a year from now?

10

What does the 12-month dashboard look like?

Three numbers that, if hit, would make this engagement undeniably worth it. Not vanity metrics — outcome metrics.

You're done. Now what?

We'll review everything before session 1 and come in with hypotheses, not a blank slate. Bring the team and the courage to disagree.
