Common workflows
Step‑by‑step paths through the product for the situations that come up most.
1. Set up your GTM foundation from scratch
Goal: a complete, usable strategy in one sitting.
- Create the project and describe what you're building. See Workspace & Setup.
- Connect a data source (HubSpot, Google Drive, or OneDrive) so Strategy has real material to draft from.
- Write or generate your GTM Brief — problem, value, market — on the Foundations block of Strategy.
- Define 2–3 ICPs that describe who you're actually going after.
- Generate personas for each ICP and review them — accept, combine, or reject each suggestion.
- Upload 3–5 supporting documents to Context — case studies, market reports, past research.
- Draft Positioning and Messaging from evidence once ICPs and personas exist.
- Check Signals for anything already corroborated that should shape the plan.
2. Keep your strategy current as the market moves
Goal: avoid working from a stale plan.
- Add new evidence (market reports, customer feedback, call transcripts) to Context as it comes in.
- Watch Signals for new themes reaching multi‑source agreement.
- Regenerate or refresh personas when the market has shifted meaningfully.
- Clear any "Generated before your current research" flags on personas or ICPs once you've reviewed what changed.
- Re‑draft Positioning/Messaging from evidence if the underlying signals have moved.
3. Brief a new teammate on the market
Goal: get someone oriented fast without a meeting.
- Share the Strategy page — Foundations gives the whole thesis in one screen.
- Walk them through the 3 Top Personas.
- Have them Talk to a Persona directly to build intuition for how that buyer thinks.
- Point them at Context so they know where the evidence lives.
- Have them ask a question in Signals or project chat about anything that still feels unclear.
4. Move a stalled deal forward
Goal: get unstuck on a specific opportunity.
- Switch to Deal mode and open the deal from the picker.
- Check Account timing for how long it's been idle and who hasn't been contacted.
- Review the Buyer group — is every real stakeholder identified and mapped to a role?
- Read the Recommended plays and use Ask AI on the one that fits right now.
- Use Rehearse before a high‑stakes call with a specific buyer.
5. Turn a signal into public content
Goal: act on market intelligence quickly, in public.
- Find a corroborated theme on Signals (multiple sources agreeing).
- Check LinkedIn — an auto‑draft citing that signal may already be waiting in the Queue.
- Approve it as‑is, or Refine in chat to adjust the angle.
- For a longer‑form asset instead, generate it from Artifacts and cite the same signal.
Foundation readiness checklist
Before treating a project's strategy as solid enough to build on, confirm:
- A written Problem and Value statement, both at least drafted.
- At least 2–3 ICPs defined.
- At least 3–5 personas created or generated, each assigned to an ICP.
- At least 3 supporting documents uploaded to Context.
- Positioning and Messaging at least drafted once, ideally from evidence.
- No unresolved "generated before your current research" flags on key personas.
- Your team has actually talked to at least one persona to sanity‑check it.
