Growth Begins with Planning
Without good planning and a growth marketing strategy, your Really Big Idea can’t find happy customers. Without a plan you may not have enough supplies or the right gear. Meanwhile, those hungry, growling and aggressive bears – your competition – hope you stumble.
To win, you need a good ground game
First, agree on your business goal. Second, make sure market sizes and pricing can yield enough revenue. So know your your total addressable markets and targets. Third, craft your growth marketing strategy with budgets as well as marketing qualified lead and revenue goals.
A quick example of how it works
- Business goal: Enter the market with a new enterprise security SaaS service
- Total Addressable Market: At .05% market share at the end of year 1 of our total addressable market, we need to charge $100 monthly fee per subscriber to reach our revenue goal.
- Growth Marketing Strategy: To move out of beta, focus on a single, key vertical where there is demand. but the vertical is small enough to successfully meet it without killing the company and large enough for revenue goals.
- Campaigns: Enter the SaaS market by targeting utility companies with more than 1000 employees – they have big need and it’s a small vertical. To do this, we create a webinar targeting utility IT security and advertise it on social media targeting our buyer profiles.
Don’t let the creeping Time Beast foil your quarterly revenue goals!
