    ICP, Segmentation & GTM Motion Design

    Define the exact buyer, the wedge segment, and whether you win via PLG, sales-led, channel-led or hybrid — before spending a rupee on demand.

    Why it matters

    70% of revenue waste is upstream of the funnel — wrong ICP, fuzzy segmentation, mismatched motion. Picking PLG when the deal is enterprise (or vice versa) destroys 12–18 months of CAC. This module locks the ICP, the beachhead, and the GTM motion the rest of the engine is engineered around.

    Scope covered

    Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) v1 — firmographic, technographic, behavioural, fit + intent
    ICP scoring model (0–100) with disqualification triggers
    Segmentation tree — vertical × size × geo × use-case, ranked by winnability × LTV
    Beachhead segment selection with Innovator's Dilemma logic
    GTM motion design — PLG / Sales-led / Channel-led / Community-led / Hybrid
    Bowtie GTM model (Acquisition × Expansion × Advocacy) replacing legacy linear funnel
    Buyer & Champion personas, JTBD (Jobs-to-be-Done), buying-committee map
    Win/Loss & Lost-to-Competitor analysis cadence
    How we run it

    Our methodology

    A senior-led delivery sequence — not a template dump. Each phase is operated with your team, not handed over as a deck.

    1. 1

      Account & deal teardown

      Week 1

      Pull 18–24 months of CRM data; cohort wins, losses, churn and stalled deals to expose the real ICP signal vs the assumed one.

    2. 2

      ICP definition & firmographics

      Week 1–2

      Lock the ICP by industry, size, geography, tech-stack and trigger events; build the disqualification list with equal rigour.

    3. 3

      GTM motion selection

      Week 2–3

      Choose the dominant motion (PLG / inbound / outbound / channel / hybrid) per segment with capacity, CAC and time-to-revenue math.

    4. 4

      Segmentation & coverage model

      Week 3–4

      Tier accounts (1/2/3) with named-account lists, territory design and SDR/AE/CSM coverage ratios.

    5. 5

      Rollout & quarterly refresh

      Week 4–6

      Equip GTM with the new ICP playbook; install the quarterly refresh ritual against win/loss and pipeline reality.
