Product Score Card
Product messaging - [Product name] is a [product class] for [target market] that [product
purpose]. Unlike [competitor] [product name] has [unique features].
Sales proposition - When evaluating your current sales proposition, take time to audit your
existing or targeted strategic accounts. Does the value proposition align to their needs? How
are the account expectations being managed? What quarterly milestones did the team
establish for the accounts and how are they tracking against those milestones?
5 Key Pillars of Product GTM
Marketing strategy - Look at age, geography, income, title, affiliations
and online behavior to create campaign audiences to test. Leverage
the power of digital media to engage in broadcast and personalised
messaging. Create a clear funnel and track conversion at each stage
Sales strategy - Does it cover the gamut of products you offer? Does it
cover all channels including partner sales channels, digital channels
and traditional channels. Have you phased out your sales plan of
targeting low hanging fruits and then reaching for the stars? Is there
any preferential pricing for existing customers to drive initial adoption
Pricing Models and Revenue Strategy
Pricing Models
Subscription Model:
Customers pay a recurring fee at regular intervals (monthly, annually) to access the product or service.
Provides a predictable revenue stream and fosters customer loyalty through ongoing engagement.
Examples include Netflix, Spotify, and Adobe Creative Cloud.
Freemium Model:
Offers a basic version of the product for free, with limited features or functionality.
Upsells premium features or additional services to monetize a subset of users willing to pay for enhanced value.
Enables user acquisition and market penetration while capturing revenue from a segment of users.
Examples include Dropbox, LinkedIn, and Evernote.
Pay-Per-Use Model:
Customers pay based on their usage or consumption of the product or service.
Ideal for products with variable usage patterns or where customers value flexibility and control over their spending.
Examples include cloud computing services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and utility services like electricity or
water.
Pricing Models
One-Time Purchase Model:
Customers make a single payment to purchase the product outright, granting
perpetual access or ownership.
Common for standalone software products, consumer electronics, and durable
goods.
Provides immediate revenue but may require ongoing investment in customer
acquisition and retention.
Examples include software licenses, smartphones, and home appliances.
Value-Based Pricing:
Align pricing with the perceived value delivered to customers, rather than solely based on costs or competition.
Conduct market research, customer segmentation, and pricing optimization to determine the optimal price points for different
customer segments and use cases.
Continuously monitor market dynamics, customer feedback, and competitive positioning to adjust pricing strategies
accordingly.
Revenue Strategies
Scalability and Efficiency:
Leverage economies of scale, automation, and technology to increase operational
efficiency and reduce costs.
Invest in scalable infrastructure, processes, and systems to support growth without
proportionate increases in resources.
Explore lean methodologies, agile practices, and continuous improvement initiatives to
streamline workflows and maximize productivity.
