Going to market means introducing a product or service to a new buyer persona. ...At least, that's how I define it... And, the success percentage is minimal. Just a few of the things that must go right to achieve a successful GTM campaign are: You are made aware of the correct buyers. These buyers understand your value proposition. The pricing is correct. You have the correct amount of customer support. Your delivery is seamless. The playbooks for go-to-market for technology companies have been pretty standard since I began my career in growth for SaaS back in 2008. We would leverage social network audiences and SEO to seed the market with our messaging, maybe do a PR campaign, capture audiences, retarget, and nurture... Standard stuff. But, I knew this was slow, costly, and too dependent on algorithms, and we were never close to the buyer during any of it. So, in 2018, while consulting with SaaS during their seed and series A, amidst GTM campaigns, I noticed something I thought was odd... None of my clients were trying to establish partnerships before their go-to-market. Hmmm 🤔 I thought. I put together presentations examples and plans... However, not a single CEO I was consulting for believed it was best to recruit partners PRIOR to their go-to-market campaign launch. So, that night in May 2019, I bought a domain name and started Partnerprograms Inc. Over the next 4 years, I learned how correct I was. The vast majority of CEO's are more comfortable and confident in a go-to-market strategy that is entirely internal. Which makes complete sense. What's not under your control, is potentially out of control. And B2B partners are not under your control. Regardless of the contracts you made them sign. Regardless, it's my opinion tech companies should involve partners when they are ready to go to market. And here's why... #gtm #partnerships #powertothepartners #partnershipsledgrowth

Traffic: The Lifeline of Any Project Overall: Sign-ups: 70 → 1,000/week | Sales: 1 → 150/week | +300% Conversion | Same Budget | B2B leads dominate! 💫 Once we enhanced the product to make it not just appealing but crystal clear to our audience, the next step was scaling traffic. 💭 Here’s what worked like magic: Key Channels We Leveraged 👁️ Search Traffic + SEO Organic growth was our foundation. By optimizing the site and content, we ensured customers found us easily—and wanted to stick around. 👁️ Collaborations with Influencers We partnered with thought leaders who speak the same language as our target audience. These joint campaigns built trust and created buzz. 👁️ Business Partnerships Integrating our API with other businesses opened the doors to the B2B segment. This turned into a game-changer for driving sales. 👁️ Webinars and Live Sessions Hosting engaging, educational webinars not only strengthened our connection with the audience but also converted them into loyal users right away. 👁️ Partnership Programs with Online Academies By embedding our product into courses and educational platforms, we boosted sales while introducing our brand to a wider audience. 🤳 Results in Just 1.5 Months 🪄 Registrations: Before launching campaigns, we were at around 70 sign-ups per week. After 1.5 months of optimizing traffic channels, this grew to 1,000 sign-ups weekly. 🎯 Sales: Initially, we had barely one sale a week. Post-optimization? We hit 150 sales weekly. 🎯 Growth Rate: In the first month of fully operational funnels, we achieved over 4,000 registrations and nearly 1,000 sales. 🎯 Efficiency: The cost per registration dropped by more than 70%, while our overall conversion rate surged by 300%. The B2B segment turned out to be the real jackpot, boosting total sales by over 1.5x. Partner integrations unlocked a new level of growth and revenue. We kept the budget the same, but the results? Completely transformed. With a well-structured approach, we proved you can hit incredible numbers without breaking the bank. In my next post, I’ll dive into how we maintained these results, optimized our product funnel, and scaled this success even further. Stay tuned! 🚀

We're struggling for pipeline this quarter and need to make up a significant gap to hit our annual targets. We're currently running: – Google Ads, Review Site PPC, LinkedIn Retargeting – LinkedIn product value image ads, Display to non-MQA accounts, Content syndication Challenges: The company is very focused on lead gen and hesitant to invest heavily in demand creation due to reporting infrastructure. We're having challenges proving 'what works'. --------------------------------------------------------------- This is what so many of my networking calls are sounding like as we approach EOY. In the last week alone I've had 3 growth-stage CEOs recount that they just aren't even sure where to turn next to close the gap. If you find yourself in a similar boat (*spoiler: it's going to come down to signals + plays), here are the considerations I'd short-list: – Collab with your CS/AM team to build demand programs for current clients for upsell opportunities and referrals. Sometimes, the quickest wins can come from existing relationships. You can gift/incentive referrals as well if you're not already. – Gifting campaigns for upmarket buyer's who've already taken a demo to drive deal acceleration (but if you're going to do this, do it well. Don't send a one-size-fits-all gift, make it personal.) – Source plays from your warmest signals (e.g. a former champion has started a new role in the last 6 months, an ICP or TAL is hitting a paywall, active Opps are hitting your pricing page, ICPs are hitting up Noble references) – Lastly, audit what's working in your programming. Cut ties with what isn't. Become your own mini-procurement department. Finance will love you, and more often than not an audit forces a start / stop / continue conversation and you'll find there's opportunity to shore up demand gaps, and wasted spend. Repurpose that saved spend to fuel the programs above. ♻️ h/t to Amanda Nielsen for this mug ☕️

How I optimize 🚀 launches 🚀 for my clients 👇 1. AUDIT: I start by reviewing how they have done things in the past to get clear on past results, opportunities for improvement, and things that have been working really well that we'll want to continue doing. 2. STRATEGIZE: I'll then create a plan for the next launch, making sure to have clear measures in place for anything we're changing so that we can clearly see what is / isn't working, and the impact the shifts had on the launch. BONUS: Areas I look at include: - Social Media: pre-launch strategy, launch strategy, post-launch strategy - Email: same as above WITH segmentation for different audiences (past customers, hot leads, current customers, etc.) - Website: where can we include CTAs, is the landing page optimized for conversion, etc. - Programs: affiliate strategy, referral strategy, etc. AND MORE... 3. TEST, LEARN, ITERATE: Launch and make sure to measure results against past launches. Look for places where things improved (show up rates, open rates, click through rates, engagement, conversion on sign ups, conversion on sales, revenue overall, ROI on paid ad spend, etc.) RINSE and REPEAT 🔁

When I scaled my B2C startup from €100K to over €10M, our top three acquisition channels were: 1. Google (most efficient) - Provided the best ROI. 2. Facebook (most scalable) - Allowed us to reach a vast audience quickly. 3. Door-to-Door Sales (unique reach) - Helped us connect with demographics not easily reachable through online platforms. Traditional marketing methods are not often seen in startups, especially at early-stage, but D2D was everything a startup wants: measurable and scalable with a solid process. What traditional marketing methods do you use in your industry? Despite being more costly than digital strategies, traditional marketing methods like TV commercials, radio spots, and print ads might be just what your business needs for that extra visibility. Dedicate one month each year to a traditional marketing approach. Shop around locally for the best deals. Often, you can secure prime advertising slots during peak seasons or receive discounts for bulk purchases in print media. Always include an incentive for potential customers in your campaigns. Where possible, incorporate local testimonials to add authenticity and a personal touch. This strategy not only boosts engagement but also strengthens community ties.

SaaS & agency relationships are fundamentally broken at their core -- here's how agency owners can take control and gain more leverage when working with SaaS companies. Over the last 5 years, I can count on one hand (maybe two fingers...) the amount of partner managers who have added genuine value to Magnet Monster. And that's because most SaaS companies view agencies solely as a source of leads. Truth be told, I bet a lot of them also resent paying us that measly rev share as well as it erodes their profit margins to deliver to their customers. But there's one weapon in your arsenal that can completely flip the script on its head and have them chasing YOU. It's having a ready-made audience and personal brand that they want to tap into. Trust me when I say this: if you have a moat around your business through thought leadership content, the best SaaS companies will go out of their way to build relationships with you. This includes sending you leads and investing in other co-marketing opportunities as well. And if you really want to use your audience as a form of leverage, bring collaborative content ideas to your next meeting and put pressure on the tech partner to share audiences and commit to adding value to the ecosystem with you. There are a lot of strategies that work well for building better relationships with tech partners (I have a vid coming out soon on my YT channel going deep on this) but I can't think of a better strategic move than already having an audience across social and your owned channels that they want to tap into. ________ That was lesson #8 of 29 in scaling Magnet Monster to a 7-figure agency. Follow me Adam Kitchen 🪖 as I dissect the strategies and processes we're using to scale our second agency in under a year to the same revenue with a different lesson each day! #digitalagency #b2bmarketing
