Most businesses do not have a proper B2B go to market strategy in place, which is the root cause of their stalled or declining growth.
Businesses often struggle with creating a go-to-market strategy because they don’t know who their customers are and what their specific needs are. Without a solid go-to-market strategy, businesses can’t hope to achieve sustainable growth. This is due to a variety of reasons, such as not knowing their customers or their specific needs, failing to build out repeatable/recyclable processes and systems, and marketing not owning the go-to-market strategy.
Marketing should own the go-to-market strategy. This is the only way to ensure that all aspects of the business are aligned around achieving success in the marketplace. in this podcast episode, Christina provides a framework for developing a GRIT marketing plan, which can be used by any business to drive growth.
