Short answer

A go-to-market (GTM) strategy is the plan for launching a product to its target market. It defines the target customers, value proposition, pricing, distribution channels, marketing, and sales approach. A clear GTM strategy aligns product, marketing, and sales teams and reduces the risk of a launch that fails to find demand.
