What is Go-To-Market Strategy & WITC Announcement
Defining GTM and why this is the most important area of any company
This week, our topic is on go-to-market strategy, an area where I’ve increasingly been pulled into at work. A Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy defines how a product or service reaches its target customers and achieves competitive advantage. For technology consultants, crafting a GTM strategy means aligning technical expertise with business outcomes to deliver measurable value to clients.
Breaking down GTM
The foundation of a strong GTM strategy begins with market segmentation and positioning. Whether you are working on a digital product or a service offering, you must identify high-impact customer segments—industries or agencies with the greatest pain points—and articulate a clear value proposition that differentiates their offering from competitors. In other words, who are the customers/end users you are targeting, what are the biggest challenges, and does your product or service solve this problem for them?
Next, a channel and partnership strategy determines how solutions will reach those customers. This could include direct sales, strategic alliances with software vendors, or reseller agreements that extend reach and credibility. Technology consultants often find success by co-selling with cloud platforms or integrating with established enterprise ecosystems.
A data-driven messaging and enablement plan ensures consistent communication across sales, marketing, and delivery teams. Clear, outcome-focused messaging—supported by case studies and ROI data—helps build trust and accelerate adoption.
Finally, continuous measurement and iteration are key. Using analytics to assess conversion rates, customer acquisition costs, and satisfaction metrics enables agile refinement of tactics. For consultants, a well-executed GTM strategy transforms technical solutions into sustainable business growth.
Go-To-Market Engineering
This brings me to another topic that with the advent of AI in sales and marketing has evolved this discipline — GTM engineering. GTME is the ability to use data and AI tools to optimize the best go-to-market strategy for a product or service you are trying to sell. It is an emerging field within GTM that is increasingly becoming more valuable now that the market is saturated with so many different digital products.

What’s next for Women in Tech Consulting
When I launched this newsletter a year ago, my goal was to create a space where women could build both the technical and soft skills needed to accelerate their careers. Since then, our community has grown tremendously — our articles have sparked meaningful discussions, been widely shared, and I’ve had the privilege of working with many of you on your individual career journeys.
Starting in November, Women in Tech Consulting will transition to a monthly newsletter, freely available to all subscribers. For those seeking more personalized support, our paid subscription will include up to four individual career coaching sessions.
I made this shift to stay true to the original mission of this platform: helping women reach their fullest potential. The new monthly format will feature in-depth content, actionable insights, and curated open roles for those exploring new opportunities.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for your continued support. Here’s to growth, connection, and the exciting paths ahead — upwards and onwards!
