GTM-SMSA framework: the key areas of growth built into the Inspire, Connect, Accelerate model

To help you build up and scale your growth function, here at GoToMarket hub we have designed a GTM Strategy, Marketing and Sales Alignment (GTM-SMSA) framework that can assist with all areas of growth.

The GTM-SMSA is a framework which spans your GTM strategy, marketing, pre-sales and post-sales activities, and offers support and advice in all of those areas.

GTM Strategy

GTM-SMSA starts with building a robust GTM strategy, including crafting an effective value proposition for your product or service and building strategic target lists for your marketing and sales.

Once you have got a GTM strategy in place, it should inform any marketing or sales initiative in order to get you closer to the business growth goals you have established. To achieve these goals, it‘s key to take the next step – align your marketing and sales functions. This will enable an effective customer journey from suspect/prospect to MQL to SQL to Opportunity and Closed Deal.


Aligning Marketing & Sales for Effective Lead Generation

Our GTM-SMAS framework can help with this step too. The subjects we cover in the GTM-SMSA framework include leveraging your Microsoft partnership for marketing and sales, co-branding with Microsoft, and making use of the Microsoft Customer Engagement Methodology. All of these activities are not specific to marketing or sales. Instead, they are built to span the whole customer journey which is supported by the joint effort from marketing and sales.


Your GTM Toolbox

When a robust GTM foundation is in place, and your marketing and sales plan is in action, we recommend these tools to help you further accelerate your lead generation:

  • Microsoft Partner Marketing Centre (PMC) – a library of end-user marketing and sales content, collated in to solution-focused campaigns, that you can personalize for your target audience and use in your GTM campaigns
  • Microsoft Digital Marketing Centre (DMC) – marketing campaign automation platform pre-filled with content that you can post to multiple channels
  • Companial Empowered program – a fast-track program designed to create BA-based industry-focused solutions that allow you to expand to new markets
  • GYDE365 Qualify – a pre-sales automation tool that lets prospects complete a questionnaire, typically in just a couple of minutes and generates a partner-branded, high-level proposal.
