  1. What are some suggestions for preparing a GTM plan particularly for a bundled product launch?

    Assume there is an upcoming launch of a new bundled product in the next 4-6 months. The bundled product is composed of 3 products, all of which are also brand new. These 3 subproducts cannot be bought separately - the bundled product is going to be sold as 1 SKU. The 3 new products are also launching at a few different timeframes over the launch. (i.e. one is going GA first, where the other is in beta at that time and will go GA later). Looking for insights or advice on effectively composing a GTM roadmap and plan that includes each subproduct's GTM plans in the context of the GTM plan of the bundled product. Thank you!

    I don't think there is ever one asset to rule the world or be the single solution. Instead, it's about understanding how the sales organization is structured so you align your GTM to the sellers' goals. For example, can you model your first call deck off of the sales methodology used across the sales organization? Can you provide a sales enablement calendar that ends with a clear CTA like "here is a templated outreach campaign to drive prospects to our product launch webinar next Tuesday."? Can ...Read More
