Go-to-Market Checklist (Post-MVP)

A step-by-step execution checklist to find the right customers, sell with certainty, and avoid wasted effort.

{/* ICP */}

1. Confirm the target customer (non-negotiable)

If any of these are false, do not sell to them.

{/* Problem Validation */}

2. Validate pain before pitching

No visible pain = no sale.

{/* Channels */}

3. Choose acquisition channel (in order)

A. Accountants & bookkeepers (primary)

  • UK-based Xero partners
  • Bookkeepers handling Stripe clients
  • Fractional CFOs

Pitch: “Stripe payments → accountant-approved Xero invoices. Automatically.”

B. Reddit & communities (problem-aware)

  • Search Stripe + Xero reconciliation threads
  • Explain why the problem exists
  • Describe the accounting-first solution
  • Let people DM you

C. Targeted founder outbound

  • UK agencies
  • B2B SaaS with annual or fixed billing
  • Founder still involved in finance
{/* Sales Execution */}

4. Close with outcome, not features

If they want a free trial, they are not the customer.

{/* Delivery */}

5. Deliver proof immediately

The product is the outcome.

{/* Objections */}

6. Capture objections and edge cases

{/* Narrow */}

7. Narrow the ICP aggressively

{/* Scale */}

8. Scale only what already works

{/* Scoreboard */}

9. Weekly scoreboard

{/* Close */}

If this business fails, it will not be because the software didn’t work. It will be because the wrong customers were targeted or certainty wasn’t proven.
