Strategy gets a bad rap. Stakeholders often want to jump straight to tactics—shall we try a webinar? Social video? Event?—because it’s easier to understand “doing things” rather than strategic plans.
It’s true that it can be exciting to throw yourself off a cliff, blindfolded, into a sea of tactics without any idea of what will happen. But smart marketers know that a go-to-market (GTM) strategy can be much more thrilling and satisfying and can help you be much more successful in all your marketing efforts. When you’re being proactive instead of reactive, when you consider the long-term and not just what you want to do tomorrow, you experience a lot less stress and feel much more in control. That’s being strategic.
GTM Strategy is especially critical when you’re responsible for lead generation, other sales cycle support, or just branding overall. Developing an impactful marketing plan must be rooted in a strategy that provides insights into target markets and the positioning of the organization’s offerings. Getting that right can make all the many moving parts of a sales funnel effort work better together. It may even help you get more enthusiastic buy-in from reps who may have been slow to advance opportunities in the sales cycle that were generated by previous marketing efforts. And that feels terrific.
Instructor Michael Hornby has more than 30 years of experience creating successful GTM strategies for companies ranging from startups to billion-dollar sales organizations. In this workshop, he will take you through all the steps needed to ensure that your GTM strategy drives and connects all your value propositions, messaging, digital assets, sales tools, and content to maximize your impact on the sales cycle. That means a higher probability of more leads and better conversions, which will increase the probability of closing. In the end, you get more revenue for your organization and more success for your sales team.

This was a great workshop if you’re rapidly scaling a young company or if you’re feeling stuck in a rut with your existing marketing strategy. I would definitely recommend it to anyone developing B2B marketing strategies.
Great thought provoking presentation that expanded on the basics. I was able to apply the content to my current challenges and took several notes for implementation on my team.

For those that have completed the B2B Marketing Strategy Development Workshop, this is as a one-on-one follow up with the instructor, structured as two 2-hour video conference consultation sessions.
The focus will be to review an individual company’s templates completed from the first B2B Marketing Strategy Development workshop and then give feedback with the purpose of flushing out further the development of the marketing strategy. The participant will need to choose one product/business line to focus on. As a prerequisite to doing these one-on-one sessions, the participant will have completed as many of the templates listed below as possible and practical before scheduling the meetings with the instructor. The instructor and the participant will review the completed templates together, and the instructor will challenge/ask more questions to make sure the answers truly addressed the questions. This will give the advantage of an outside peer review vetting the process before socializing documents within your company.
A majority of the following templates should be completed prior to scheduling the one-on-one meetings with the instructor. Then they will be reviewed, discussed and evaluated in the live discussions.
Some participants may choose not to complete some of the templates above due to marketplace variances, and we understand. We expect the participant to complete as many as possible and practical for their business and industry situation. The one-on-one sessions must be scheduled within two months of having taken their B2B Marketing Strategy Development workshop.
Who will benefit from this one-on-one session
