You will learn:
1. How to identify the real pain points in your target market.
2. Which go-to-market model is best suited to your businesses.
3. Learn about the key success metrics you need to track.
Key Points:
1. Don’t be a solution in search of a problem - Consider the demand in the market first and then build a product for that pain.
2. Frame your key competitors as villain’s - it is a great way of identifying a problem and rallying people behind your product.
3. Be a pill not a vitamin - Is your product a ‘must have’ or a ‘nice to have’?
4. Your ICP should be narrow enough that you are able to streamline your entire operation and make your capital more efficient - you will have to say no to people.
5. A genuine go-to-market model considers every stage of the funnel.
This paper from Swystun Communications focuses on the lost art and science of creating tangible go-to-market strategies. Too often marketing plans are just calendarized events and that is not the way to engage the most desired customers.

The six stages include research, plan, approve, develop, prepare and launch. Within each stage there are a series of essential activities that need to be performed to ensure alignment between product features and customer needs, and alignment with organizational objectives and priorities.

Effective Marketing Strategies in demand management will increase and expedite the conversion of Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) to Qualified Sales Opportunities (QSOs).
An organization that enjoys consistent double-digit growth typically has a healthy and sustained marketing and sales pipeline of qualified sales opportunities. Qualified sales opportunities are those with a high probability of converting to closed won/deals. They are not leads.
Best-in-class organizations separate, but integrate, the process of creating MQLs (demand creation) and the conversion of marketing qualified leads to QSOs (demand management). These functions must not only be aligned and integrated for lead follow-up, but must also be united when building the demand generation plan.
Because sales resources are among the most expensive resources for any organization, it is critical that tasks assigned to salespeople are high value and are directly correlated to advancing and closing opportunities. In general, steps in the sales process that reside at the top of the sales funnel are most often assigned to marketing, as they can be highly segmented and automated. However, these assignments have to be well-defined steps in the sales process and proactively managed by both sales and marketing.
Below is an example of effective marketing strategies which increase the conversion of marketing qualified leads to qualified sales opportunities.
Creating content is easy. But creating good content that makes an impact, and to do so consistently time over time, requires building a competency and understanding content marketing in a broader context.

Flash storage uses flash memory instead of spinning hard disk drives (HDDs) and provides benefits like faster read/write speeds, lower power consumption, greater reliability, and reduced maintenance compared to HDDs. It is increasingly being used in all-flash arrays and other applications. Specifically, flash storage offers over 10x-100x greater input/output operations per second than HDDs, is more resistant to damage from drops or vibration, and can reduce total storage costs when factors like power, cooling, space, and maintenance are considered alongside purchase price. Adopting flash storage can improve application performance by up to 20 times, accelerate databases, and help businesses consolidate infrastructure to reduce costs.
