GTM strategy · B2B SaaS · 1–10M ARR

Stop guessing what your customers want.

Four weeks from now, you could be making decisions based on what your customers actually said, instead of what the room assumed.

Because great marketing isn't invented. It's overheard.

The real problem

Your marketing is based on opinions and competitors. And none of it really lands.

Imagine if you knew

01

Who your best customers are

02

How they shop for solutions like yours

03

What they decide on

04

And why they chose you over others

This gives you alignment, confidence, and a repeatable system to run and iterate on.

The solution

A 4-week customer research sprint

In four weeks we find the customers worth winning, I run 10+ interviews myself, and we turn what they actually say into positioning, a GTM plan, and experiments you can run.

12,000

Includes a goal-setting session. Interviews and system setup run by me. And enablement workshops with your team.

What you walk away with

1

Positioning and an ICP you'll actually use

Built from real transcripts, not a workshop whiteboard. The kind of alignment that survives the room it was made in.

2

10+ interviews, run by me

I pick the segment, run the calls, and pull out the patterns. You're not buying a framework. You're buying someone to do the part nobody enjoys.

3

A Claude workspace trained on customers insights

Your interviews and positioning loaded in, so your team drafts assets in your customers' language instead of guessing at it.

4

A backlog of hypotheses to test

Prioritized positioning, product, and marketing bets and a framework to keep running and measuring them after the sprint ends.

How it works

Five critical steps

1 Identify your best customers

Find a segment worth scaling

We dig through your customer base to find who pays best, stays longest, and is genuinely good to work with. That segment becomes the focus. This is where the swiss-army-knife problem starts to break.

2 Talk to them, listen properly

10 interviews I run myself

I write the script, run the calls, transcribe, and structure the patterns: pains, triggers, and the exact words your customers use. I teach your team to run the next ones, so the engine doesn't leave when I do.

"We hit a ceiling around €600K and realized we were guessing about who our customer even was…"

3 Build the GTM foundation

Build a clear ICP and Positioning

We get a clear picture of the ICP, their pains, and their buying process. So we know who to find, what actually matters to them, and where to put your message to get noticed. These are the foundations of every GTM.

4 Turn it into bets you can run

Build a plan for the upcoming months

One or two workshops to get the team aligned on what we found, then a backlog of positioning, product, and marketing hypotheses: prioritized, measurable, and ready to test over the next few months.

5 Build a system that runs without me

Set up a Claude Code system that knows your customers

I build a Claude Code system that knows everything about your project and your customers. So you can validate ideas against direct customer quotes, and create materials that stay relevant across different roles, consistently.

"Pulling from 3 interviews. Ops leads kept saying 'I can't trust the numbers'…"

Why this is different

Most consultants do the last 10%. A clean landing page and an ICP doc that quietly dies in Google Drive. I do the part most people skip: talk to your customers, get the team aligned, and hand you bets you can act on.

Who is it for?

This sprint is for you if

Your growth stalled somewhere on the way to $10M ARR, and you can't say exactly why.

You keep changing your positioning every 6 months, and it still doesn't land.

You're trying to serve every segment at once and can't keep up with any of them, but cutting one feels terrifying.

Your marketing is mostly copying competitors.

Your team quietly disagrees about who the customer even is.

Your roadmap is built on the most vocal support requests.

Dmytro Belko

Hi, I'm Dmytro.

I run Good Damn Research and currently lead PMM at MacPaw. I've been working with GTM for B2B startups and scale-ups for 10 years and saw the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. From delivering 1500% ROMI to seeing positioning work dying on G-Drive. Now I want to help more founders set the foundation right and unblock growth.

The belief behind all of it
Marketing should be unique, but it's not built on someone's genius. It's built on deep customer understanding. The randomness you're feeling isn't a tactics problem. It's an evidence problem. Specificity breeds creativity.

Common questions

FAQ

Most consultants build positioning from your input about your customers. So the result is only as good as how well you already understand them, and that's exactly the part most teams are weakest at. Getting a clear, honest picture of your customers is the hard, nuanced job. It's harder to sell and harder to do. But done right, it's worth far more than a homepage rewrite. That's the job I take.
Access to what you know about your business and access to customers. I do my own research and run the first 10 interviews, but your team also has to show up and willing to change their approach. We don't want another positioning nobody is willing to stick to.
It depends. If you're the founder with a direct relationship to the customer, better not to, as people edit their answers in front of you. If you join as "just another team member" it can work, with strict rules to keep bias out. If you want to watch without influencing, you'll have access to all of the recordings.
I'll guide the selection. We want your highest-value customers who are also good to work with. The group has to be similar, because variety dilutes the signal. A focused segment beats a broad one every time.
Depends how close you are to them. With a warm relationship through customer success, 15–20 contacts usually lands 8–10 interviews. With a PLG motion and no direct contact, we might need 100–200 contacts to land 10.
Yes. If after the goal-setting and alignment phase you don't want to move forward, I give your money back.
Yes. We talk through your situation and figure out whether I'm the right person to help. No charge.
