Asia Matos

I've just launched a new YouTube channel!! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky).I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q***What is a go-to-market strategy, exactly?In today’s episode, we’ll define the term in details and dive into the real, actionable steps to design an effective go-to-market strategy.My guest today is Asia Matos, an early-stage startup marketing expert, and the founder and CEO of Demand Maven.We’re going to dive into what exactly is a go-to-market strategy, when you need one, and how to create one from scratch.Topics covered:What exactly is a go-to-market strategy?The difference between go-to-market strategy” and “marketing strategy”Signs that a company needs a go-to-market strategyThe frameworks to start creating a go-to-market strategyWhy is it important to have a “model-market fit” and “channel-market fit”A real-life example of model and channel market fitWhy follow up questions is vital in customer interviewsUsing Objective & Key Results (OKRs) to translate customer interview into actionable stepsWhy targeting customers’ mindset is much more important than just aiming at demographicsBiggest mistake companies made when creating a go-to-market strategyWhat marketers should learn in the next 5,10, 20 yearsResources mentioned:HullFlip My FunnelHotjarBrian BalfourGrowth Loops: The End of Traditional Funnels?Sean EllisMotivoGood Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why it MattersObjective Key Results (OKRs)This is MarketingBuyer Persona: Your Guide to Create 100% Accurate & Detailed OnesBuyer Persona InstituteForget The FunnelAsia’s TwitterDemandMavenBuyer Personas Need to Die a Violent Death***→ Buy my book: book.stfo.io→ Watch my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q→ Take my 60-second quiz: stfo.io/q→ See my pretty face on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisgrenier/→ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3p4wL4r→ Leave a review on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7iEF1qovZZiaP1iRtxGARo🐔
