Welcome to the Category Surfers where we break down go-to-market strategies so you can build the best GTM engine for your SaaS.
16 hours airplane trips really get to you…
Just got back from Wynter’s event in Austin, TX. And it was fun to meet some of the folks that read my emails (surprisingly).

Value - Benefit - Feature
Value (why should they care?)
Benefit (what they will be able to do, feel?)
Feature (how do we deliver?)

What I realized drinking my 11th can of sparking water in the Texas heat is that what worked for other people won’t work for me.
You can’t just copy someone’s GTM strategy, but you can use get inspired.
So watch out for my next emails. Working on something BIG…
