  You're two weeks from launch and still can't say, in one sentence, who this is for and why they'd switch. That's not a copywriting problem — it's a missing GTM spine. This reusable template forces positioning, ICP, and channel choice into place before you spend a dollar, for B2B or B2C.

  What's inside:
  • Positioning canvas — define your category, differentiator, and value prop
  • ICP worksheet — identify and prioritize your ideal customer profiles
  • Messaging framework — headlines, elevator pitches, and objection handling
  • Channel-market fit matrix — match distribution channels to your buyer journey
  • Competitive battle cards — positioning against the alternatives buyers already know

  A fill-in template, not a lecture — refined across 150+ startup consultations.

  🇨🇳 GTM 策略模板 — 定位画布+ICP+渠道-市场匹配+竞品对比卡，B2B/B2C 通用，发布前把打法钉死。
  🇯🇵 GTM戦略テンプレート — ポジショニング、ICP、チャネル選定、競合バトルカード。B2B/B2C両対応。
  🇰🇷 GTM 전략 템플릿 — 포지셔닝, ICP, 채널 선택, 경쟁 배틀카드. B2B/B2C 겸용.

## Channel Sequencing by Revenue Stage (2026 consulting data)

Channels unlock in order — running a $5M-ARR playbook at seed stage burns cash:

| ARR stage | What unlocks | Discipline |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-revenue | Founder network, warm intros | First 3 customers closed personally by founders |
| → $500K | PH, Reddit, Discord, founder brand, owned content matrix | Total acquisition spend <$20K; no scaled paid ads pre-PMF |
| → $1M | Influencer partnerships + SEM + founder brand | Hand-test 5–10 keywords to establish CPA before scaling |
| → $5M | SEO/SEM at matrix scale, multi-channel paid, referral loops | Systematize organic content production |
| → $20M | PLG + SLG combined, host your own conference | — |

Team rule: below ~$2–3M revenue, don't open an overseas office — let affiliates, resellers, and service partners carry international distribution (top products share up to 50% of revenue with partners).

### Guardrails before north stars

A north-star metric without guardrails misallocates resources. Pair it with floors — e.g. D1 activation ≥10%, a blended-CAC ceiling derived from price point, K-factor ≥0.4 — plus one hard rule: **when activation drops below threshold, automatically throttle acquisition.** Filling a leaking bucket is the most expensive way to grow. Weekly routine: cut channels above your CAC ceiling, reinvest in channels below it.

### Paid acquisition red lines (field-tested)

- Cost per signup: $5–8 acceptable. Cost per paying user: under $50, ideally under $30. **At $100 per paying user something is structurally broken** — stop and audit before scaling.
- Watch for polluted-traffic signals: average session time collapsing (a real case went 189s → 8s after ads ramped) or thousands of paid-in users converting at zero.

### B2B channel ranking, measured

Conversion order across client projects: **LinkedIn > Reddit > Twitter**. LinkedIn at $10/day produced paying users at ~$30 CPA in tests, with 3-day flight cycles working best. Twitter drives awareness, not conversion — one team cut Twitter spend 32% with flat conversions. Budget it for share-of-voice only.
