Your Product Works.
Your Revenue System Does Not. Yet.

GTM Engineering for founders who are done running more marketing activity and ready to build the system that turns product demand into repeatable, compounding revenue.

More Activity Is Not the Answer

Most companies do not have a marketing problem. They have a systems problem: no clear positioning, no repeatable acquisition engine, no pricing that converts, no CRM that tells them what is actually working, and no path from a closed deal to an expanded one. Running more ads or publishing more content on top of a broken system just produces more expensive noise.

GTM Engineering fixes the system first.

We align market, positioning, ICP, acquisition, conversion, activation, retention, and revenue into a single connected engine. Every dollar and hour spent afterward compounds instead of leaking out.

The Infrastructure Layer

Seven service pillars. Each addresses a distinct system failure. Select any pillar to read the full methodology, deliverables, and expected outputs for that practice area.

01

The Diagnostic Audit

START HERE

Stop guessing why deals stall. Look at the ledger.

A forensic audit of pipeline velocity, conversion rates, sales cycle length, and loss reasons. The output is a prioritised breakdown of the exact friction points blocking scale.

KPI: Time-to-clarity on where to invest next.

02

ICP Development & Market Segmentation

Stop selling to everyone. Find the segment that pays fastest and expands hardest.

Segment-by-segment analysis of buying triggers, decision-makers, objections, switching costs, and lifetime value. Ranked by priority with reasoning, not assumption.

KPI: Sales-cycle length and win rate by segment.
Full methodology →
03

Positioning & Messaging

The claim that makes competitors irrelevant, not just a nicer tagline.

A defensible positioning statement built from what you can uniquely own, translated into messaging for the website, sales conversations, and outbound.

KPI: Message-to-conversion lift on landing pages and sales calls.
Full methodology →
04

Competitive Intelligence & Pricing Strategy

Know exactly where you are stronger, where you are weaker, and what you can charge.

A full competitive positioning matrix across product, pricing, distribution, and differentiation, plus a pricing/packaging model built around actual willingness-to-pay data.

KPI: Average contract value and demo-to-close rate.
Full methodology →
05

Revenue Systems: CRM, RevOps & Sales Infrastructure

If you cannot see your pipeline, you cannot fix it.

CRM architecture and pipeline-stage design, lead qualification and scoring systems, sales playbooks, and reporting cadences that give founders a real-time read on what is working.

KPI: Pipeline visibility and forecast accuracy.
Full methodology →
06

Acquisition & Partnership Systems

Build the channels that bring in the right buyers, not just more traffic.

Outbound systems built around named target accounts, demand-generation tied to the ICP's real search behaviour, and partnership/referral programs with distributors who already have buyer trust.

KPI: Cost per qualified lead and partner-sourced pipeline percentage.
Full methodology →
07

Lifecycle, Activation & Retention

The system that turns a signed deal into an expanding, referenceable account.

Onboarding and activation sequencing, lifecycle/retention campaigns, expansion triggers, and a structured customer-reference and case-study program that compounds proof over time.

KPI: Net revenue retention and reference/review count.

Three Ways to Work Together

1. Project-Based Build
A defined, phased engagement (typically 8–13 weeks) to diagnose the system and build the highest-priority pieces: audit, positioning, pricing, and the infrastructure to support them. Best for founders who want the system built and handed off with training.
Start with a Diagnostic
2. Fractional Ownership
Ongoing part-time ownership of the full GTM system: ICP, positioning, pricing, CRM, acquisition, and lifecycle. We provide direct execution, not just recommendations. Best for founders who need continuity without a full-time hire.
Start with a Diagnostic
3. Embedded Full-Time
A defined mandate with revenue and pipeline accountability, embedded inside your team. Best for companies that have validated enough pipeline and need a dedicated, accountable owner of the full system.

From Diagnosis to Repeatable Revenue

01

Diagnose (Weeks 1–3)

Confirm the real commercial baseline, lock the ICP and positioning, and audit pricing and competitors. Read the full diagnostic methodology →

02

Build (Weeks 4–7)

Stand up the CRM, qualification systems, and proof/reference infrastructure.

03

Activate & Scale (Weeks 8+)

Launch acquisition and partnership channels, measure what works, and build the reporting cadence to keep scaling it.

Strategic Alignment

WHO WE BUILD FOR
  • Founders with a working product and unproven GTM systems
  • Companies with real pipeline data but no visibility into it
  • Teams ready to narrow focus to their best segment
NOT FOR
  • Pre-product companies still validating the build
  • Teams looking for one-off campaign execution only
  • Founders resistant to systemic, data-driven changes

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this relate to Strata's other offerings?+
GTM Engineering is a distinct practice within Strata. While our core platform focuses on AEO and autonomous content authority, the GTM Engineering team builds the broader revenue systems required to convert that authority into pipeline.
How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?+
Marketing agencies optimise for campaign activity and lead volume. GTM Engineering optimises for system architecture: we build the CRM workflows, pricing structures, and positioning logic required for revenue to scale efficiently.
Do you work with early-stage or only growth-stage companies?+
We work with companies that have a validated product and early pipeline data. Pre-product teams should focus on initial validation. We step in when the system needs to scale.
What industries do you specialise in?+
Our core expertise is in deeply technical B2B infrastructure: fintech, payments, B2B AI, and logistics-adjacent platforms, with specific fluency in African and emerging market operations.
What do I need to have in place before starting?+
You need an active product, a baseline of historical pipeline data (even if messy), and a commitment from leadership to restructure processes based on evidence.
How long until we see results?+
The diagnostic phase completes in weeks 1–3. System build-out occurs in weeks 4–7. Early conversion improvements typically surface within the first 60 days of the new system going live.
