Washington DC, District of Columbia, [Nov. 20, 2023] — Cortado Group, a leading consulting firm focused on creating value for private equity portfolio companies, launched the Go-to-Market Framework. The Go-to-Market Framework, commonly abbreviated to GTM Framework, addresses every operation within your organization, ensuring your company achieves optimized revenue growth in every corner, from sales and marketing to product design and revenue operations.
The GTM framework works as the guide to deploy the right experts, processes, revenue growth strategies and solutions to meet your exact needs in any of these seven key areas. Achieving your value creation goals requires portfolio companies to focus on several critical areas of performance success. The framework serves as a guide to tailor the growth strategy and sequence execution of functional teams to orchestrate an ideal buyer’s journey.
