Why use the template?

When you are first going to market with a new business or a product, a checklist will help you stay focused to get the right things done in the right order. 

Your plan doesn’t have to be perfect, but you want to have a plan. Otherwise, you might end up in a place you never intended.  

What I have found running sales and marketing teams is that it’s easy to get caught up executing the day to day tasks and neglect to plan for your longer-term growth trajectory.  

This is a free go-to-market template for SaaS companies, but will likely work for any B2B sales team (watch deep-dive video above).

When you apply this Google Sheet template go-to-market checklist template, you’ll experience peace of mind knowing that you have done the right things to hit your growth plans. 

What’s inside the template

When I first started as a VP of Sales, I tried many different initiatives without necessarily having a strategic plan of how all of the pieces fit together.

Regretfully, we spent money on sales campaigns that never had a chance of producing results.

Here is what's included in the Go-to-Market Checklist Template: 

  • Read Me: your quick-guide to know what's inside the template sheet.
  • Template: a blank template to add the key GTM steps for your business.
  • Example: an example checklist to use as inspiration. I have also included links to relevant templates that I use to execute each step in the GTM process. These may help you along your journey.
  • AI Prompt: a pre-generated AI Prompt that you can quickly customized for your business to generate a comprehensive GTM checklist to follow for your next product.

How to use the template

Here are my recommended steps to make this template drive revenue growth for your business.  

  1. Make a Copy: open the Google Sheet and click "Use Template".
  2. Customize: update GTM phases, add owners, due dates, and any relevant resources.
  3. Build: once you establish the key actions to take, start to build out the demo assets, sequences, landing pages, etc.
  4. Launch, Measure and Iterate: this is a continuously iterative process. Once you launch, you'll then track the performance data and iterate in the highest leverage areas.

Slow down to develop a good plan. This will produce outstanding results for you.

Focus on the high level checklist of what needs to get done, then start checking them off one by one in order of priority.

My hope is that this template gives you visibility into all of the nuances of going to market with a software product.
