How to Build a Go-To-Market Strategy That Actually Drives Revenue

If you ask ten B2B leaders what a “go-to-market strategy” is, you’ll get ten different answers.

Some think it’s positioning.
Some think it’s a launch plan.
Some think it’s just sales enablement.

In reality, a GTM strategy only matters if it does one thing - helps your sales team win more deals.

This guide walks through what a modern B2B go-to-market strategy really looks like (and why most companies struggle to turn it into execution).

What Is a Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy?

A GTM strategy is the blueprint for how your company:

Targets the right buyers
Positions its product
Reaches prospects
Converts interest into revenue

It sits between product, marketing and sales and it’s where most companies tend to lose momentum.

Because GTM is usually spread across:
• Slide decks
• Notion docs
• Marketing plans
• Sales scripts
• CRM notes

…nothing lines up.

Sales teams end up guessing.

Marketing teams create content nobody uses.

Leaders wonder why pipeline is unpredictable.

The 5 Core Components of a Winning GTM Strategy

A GTM strategy that actually drives revenue needs five things:

1. A Clear ICP (Ideal Customer Profile)

Not “SaaS companies” or “mid-market”.

A real ICP includes:
Industry
Company size
Revenue
Buying triggers
What pain made them start looking

Without this, every campaign becomes guesswork.

2. Strong Positioning

Positioning answers one question:

Why should someone buy from you instead of anyone else?

It must clearly communicate:
Who you help
What problem you solve
Why you’re different
Why it matters now

If this isn’t clear, no amount of marketing will fix it.

3. Buyer Objections

Every deal is won or lost on objections.

Your GTM must include:
What prospects worry about
Why they hesitate
How to respond

Without this, sales conversations stall.

4. Sales-Ready Messaging

This is where most GTM strategies fall apart.

Sales teams need:
Emails they can send
LinkedIn messages that start conversations
Talking points for calls

Not just ideas - execution-ready content.

5. Channel Strategy

Your GTM should specify:
How you generate leads
How you follow up
How you nurture deals

Not just “we do outbound”,  but how.

Why GTM Strategies Fail in Practice

Most GTM plans look good on paper but fail in the real world because:
• They aren’t personalised
• They aren’t easy to use
• They aren’t built for sales teams

Instead of enabling execution, they create friction.

Sales teams revert to whatever feels easiest and the strategy dies quietly.
