Get clear on your GTM plan

The UK software industry is rapidly changing, driven by fast-paced technological advancements and evolving business needs. The SaaS market and IT services sector lead this expansion, with IT services expected to reach USD 146.60 billion by 2029. With such huge software and tech growth expected in the next few years, those who rise to the top and deliver profit will arguably be the teams who can deliver a solid Go To Market (GTM) strategy – taking concepts from the drawing board to delivered deals
with a speedy, scalable plan.
Creating standout from the crowd
One of the many challenges will be in creating standout from the crowd - which Next Call believes relies on a robust GTM strategy. Taking a concept from ideation to a marketable product takes a unique set of skills – it’s a mix of marketing strategy, positioning, marketing planning, customer profiling with key performance indicators to track success. As a lead gen and marketing services team specialising in the Enterprise IT sector, the Next Call team includes GTM strategy as a service for our clients.
Next Call’s GTM Framework
What’s our recommended framework? At the ideation and positioning phase, we create a value proposition and ICP to deliver laser-focussed product messaging. In the planning and enablement phase, build a launch roadmap and playbooks to align cross-functional teams. At the execution and scaling phase, multi-channel campaigns are delivered and we create performance scorecards for rapid adoption and measurable ROI.
In short we:
Build brand awareness with content and thought leadership
Drive engagement through targeted campaigns (organic and paid tactics)
Support conversion with BD enablement (sales packs, tools)
Lay foundations for a repeatable, scalable system
