You have a go-to-market strategy. Has anyone actually stress-tested it?

Every company has a GTM plan. Most have never pressure-tested it against someone who's seen what actually works — and what just looks good on a slide.

The GTM Pressure Test is a half-day or full-day working session with your leadership team. We tear apart your assumptions — ICP, positioning, pricing, channel strategy, sales motion, competitive differentiation — and find out what holds up under scrutiny.

You don't get a grade. You get clarity on where your strategy is solid and where it's built on hope. Plus a concrete action plan for the gaps.

GTM Pressure Test

Two Formats

Half Day

3-4 hours. Focused on the two or three biggest assumptions in your GTM. Best when you have a specific concern — pricing, ICP, channel mix — and want it pressure-tested fast.

Starting at $3,500

Full Day

Full working day. Comprehensive tear-down of your entire go-to-market. ICP, positioning, pricing, sales motion, channel strategy, competitive differentiation. Nothing is off limits.

Starting at $7,500

Board-Ready Document

A clean summary you can take to your board, investors, or leadership team. Not my deck — your strategy, pressure-tested.

When Companies Book This

  • Pre-funding: You're about to pitch investors and want your GTM story bulletproof before it gets picked apart in a board room.

  • Pre-hire: You're about to hire a VP of Sales or CRO and want to make sure the strategy is right before you hand it to someone new.

  • Quarterly reset: Something shifted — market, competition, product — and you want to recalibrate the GTM before the next quarter starts.

  • Post-miss: You missed the number and the team is pointing fingers. Before you change people, pressure-test the plan.

FAQ

Who should be in the room?

The people who own the GTM decisions. Usually that's CEO/founder, head of sales, head of marketing, and head of product. Keep it under 6-8 people — too many voices and it becomes a meeting instead of a working session.

How much prep is involved?

I'll send a short intake questionnaire about your current GTM — ICP, pricing, competitive landscape, sales motion. Takes about 30 minutes to fill out. I do my own research before we meet so we don't waste the session on context-setting.

Is this virtual or in-person?

Either works. Virtual is the default and works well. In-person is available depending on location and can be more effective for full-day sessions where whiteboarding matters.

What if we realize we need more than a workshop?

That happens. The Pressure Test often reveals that a Revenue Engine Build or Fractional engagement is the right next step. You'll know by the end of the session, and there's zero pressure to continue.
