(for B2B SaaS, FinTech, and IaaS Startups)

Discover How to Create a Scalable Revenue Growth Engine That Educates and Builds Trust in the Modern, Digital Buyer’s Journey
Do you and your sales team struggle to attract and engage the right kinds of prospects?
I’m Joshua Feinberg, creator of Go-to-Market Strategy Reboot Camp. And I help founders of B2B tech startups develop an effective go-to-market strategy that improves their differentiation, competitive positioning, thought leadership, sales cycle acceleration, and scalable predictable revenue growth.
Throughout most of my now more than 20+ year career, I’ve used content strategy to drive growth in marketing, sales, and customer success -- mostly with startups, entrepreneurs, and small businesses -- but also through a highly unique combination of contractor, channel partner, and community leadership roles with IBM, Microsoft, and HubSpot.
Preparing Your Company to Compete and Win in Today’s Digital Buyer’s Journey
Ten years ago, B2B buyers spoke with salespeople early on in their pre-purchase research.
However, today that's completely changed.
Gartner predicts that 80% of B2B sales interactions will be digital in the coming years.
Future of Sales report
And I’m not going to sugar-coat it: Most of the teams at startups, scaleups, and small businesses that I meet are not even close to ready to confront this once-in-a-generation change in purchasing behavior -- that’s approaching at jet speed whether your company is prepared or not.
As search engines, social media, voice-powered personal assistants, streaming video, podcasts, webinars, and review websites have all become mainstream, your best prospects now are doing tons of self-directed research on their own before they’re open to having a sales conversation with someone from your company.
So much so that many times 60% to 80% (or more) of the buyer’s journey is over before you’re even aware of a potential prospect.
The latest research from Gartner found that 83% of a typical B2B purchase decision -- researching, comparing options, and evaluating pricing -- happens before a potential buyer engages with a vendor.
And McKinsey & Company has discovered that 70% to 80% of B2B decision-makers now prefer to make decisions digitally.
In its B2B Thought Leadership Impact Report, LinkedIn in partnership with Edelman, concluded that “thought leadership remains critical to customer engagement but breaking through the noise is harder than ever.”
This massive change in buyer behavior has proven incredibly challenging for legacy sales teams that are stuck in the past -- cold-messaging people on LinkedIn and begging for 15-minute meetings to pitch their product or service.
But these changes also provide incredible opportunities for those teams that can position themselves as subject matter experts, teachers, trusted advisors, and thought leaders.
Why So Many B2B Tech Startups Struggle with Go-to-Market Strategy, Client Attraction, and Growth
With the right go-to-market strategy, you too can get found by the right people, in the right places, at the right time, and most importantly, in the right context.
And jumpstarting your GTM is especially crucial for early-stage companies that have yet to achieve sustainable product-market fit and go-to-market fit.
But creating an effective go-to-market strategy can be extraordinarily time-consuming and expensive. Yet the right GTM can literally be make-or-break for so many startups and founders like the more than 150 that I’ve worked with over the past two decades.
And that’s the reason why we created Go-to-Market Strategy Reboot Camp so that you can get access to the same kind of professional guidance that you’d normally have to invest at least $60,000+/year for a marketing agency retainer or $120,000+/year for a CMO.
Go-to-Market Strategy Reboot Camp was developed by industry-certified experts in content marketing, inbound marketing, sales enablement, digital marketing, marketing and sales automation, digital advertising, SEO, social media, and email marketing -- with 20+ years of experience in small business, mid-market, and enterprise technology, especially within Software as a Service (SaaS), financial technology (FinTech), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

Let’s Put This Into Context
The Edelman-LinkedIn B2B Thought Leadership Impact Study found that:
- Nearly half (48%) of decision-makers engage with thought leadership content for at least an hour a week
- Nearly half (49%) say that thought leadership influences their purchase decisions
- But only 15% rate the quality of thought leadership they consumed as excellent
Ouch!
Buyer preferences in B2B technology are changing quite dramatically to match what’s been happening in B2C technology over the past five years.
Airbnb, Amazon Prime, DoorDash, Instacart, Netflix, and Uber have reinvented customer experience and permanently changed the yardstick against which all tech startups are measured.
By the time most B2B buyers are open to having an initial sales meeting, these buyers are often 60% to 80% of their way through their buyer’s journey.
This shift in power from seller to buyer has frustrated many old-school, traditional marketing and sales teams that rely on interrupting people and essentially begging for 15-minute meetings.
The startups, scaleups, and small businesses that have mastered the future of go-to-market strategy have become experts in the art and science of differentiation, thought leadership, competitive positioning, sales cycle acceleration, and scalable, predictable revenue growth.
In other words, the modern go-to-market strategy attracts the right people, in the right places, at the right time, and most importantly: in the right context.
Is your startup prepared to survive and thrive in this new digitally-transformed marketplace?

- No. As go-to-market strategy becomes table stakes for competing and growing a B2B SaaS, FinTech, or IaaS startup, scaleup, or small business, many companies with great products or services simply don’t have the resources for a $60,000+/year marketing agency retainer or a $120,000+/year chief marketing office (CMO)/VP of marketing.
- Go-to-Market Strategy Reboot Camp was developed by Joshua Feinberg, who brings 25+ years of experience creating marketing/sales enablement training for small IT companies.
- It depends on how aggressively you consume and implement the training content -- including what you’ll find in the videos, worksheets, and checklists.
- Just as important, your leadership team must be open to change and running its go-to-market playbook in today’s market realistics -- not living in the past, marketing and selling as if your clients still live in the early-/mid- 2010s.
- Depending on their average sales cycle length, target market, and product/service maturity (state of product/market fit and go-to-market fit.), most companies need 3-12 months to move the needle on growth. If you currently have no website authority, no email reach, no social media reach, no deals in the pipeline, and no product/market fit, it takes time to build the foundation/ramp-up and make progress in all of these areas.
- The course is designed to be 100% self-guided, as a very cost-effective alternative to contracting for a $60,000+/year marketing agency retainer or a $120,000+/year chief marketing office (CMO)/VP of marketing.
- To keep the course price affordable, only very limited product support is available (for IT professionals, this would be comparable to what many would consider “Level 1.”)
- If you’d like more assistance with the course, you can add on upgraded support via one-on-one consulting.
Yes! Go-to-Market Strategy Reboot Camp primarily helps startups, scaleups, and small businesses that have yet to achieve true product/market fit and go-to-market fit -- or have struggled to sustainably maintain product/market fit and go-to-market fit in particular niches and markets.
Product/market fit (PMF) is the degree to which you’ve filled in the blanks on what your company is all about that allows your company to scale strong demand. When you’ve achieved product/market fit (PMF), you’ll confidently know who your ideal clients are, which products and services they purchase from your company, at what price points they purchase those products and services, and how often and for how frequently they purchase those products and services.
Similar to product/market fit, but widely considered the next step beyond PMF, go-to-market fit is all about a startup’s readiness to scale rapidly as large amounts of capital are infused into the company. For tech companies based on recurring revenue, retention (minimizing churn), and expansion revenue, go-to-market fit focuses on building a more scalable, predictable playbook around marketing, sales, and, perhaps most importantly: customer success. Companies optimizing their go-to-market fit invest considerable resources to ensure that the sales team is closing deals with customers that are most likely to see rapid and sustainable success with its products and services.
