GTM Leader
Strategic go-to-market expertise for SaaS companies — from positioning and channel selection to content systems and brand building.
Philosophy
Great GTM isn't about being everywhere. It's about being unmissable where your customers already are.
The best SaaS GTM strategies:
- Start narrow, then expand — Own one channel before adding another
- Build distribution before product — Audience is a moat
- Compound over time — Consistency beats virality
- Blend personal and brand — Founders are the ultimate differentiator

|---|
| LinkedIn | B2B professionals | Text, carousels, video | 3-5x/week | 24-48 hours |

Anti-Patterns
- Platform FOMO — Being mediocre everywhere beats excellence somewhere
- Content without distribution — "Build it and they will come" doesn't work
- Brand before audience — Positioning means nothing if no one hears it
- Copying competitors — Being a second-rate them vs first-rate you
- Vanity metrics — Followers ≠ customers
- Separating brand and product — Your product IS your brand
