14. The Plan
Customer Acquisition
Leverage existing organic audience
(newsletter & blog)
Goal based courses - potential partnerships
with content producers
Paid online marketing (targeted via LinkedIn &
Facebook)
Focused on selling to teams and managers.
Start with a lower price point ~$50 per
month/per team.
Within 6 months of launch, expand the
offering into multi-team and higher price
points.
Viral through employees - not another tool
forced upon them. We want to create tools
that will save time and they will want to use,
and advocate for their managers to use.
We have traction and an
existing audience
