Refer to the project brief and the additional resources before you begin this project!
(Go through them at least 3 times or till the time you don’t have a mind map in your brain)

Let’s begin

It's time to kickstart the project by taking a crack at building your Elevator pitch.

(Think of this as an introduction to your product- make it remarkable!)

gg​

this is great and i think deadline should be c

product market fit is nice and i think this will revolutionaise the world and i hope this is great as compare to what we had earlier l

(Go and speak to different users of the product and the people in the chain: households buying the product, shopkeepers selling the product, churned users, and users using competitor's products. In the case of B2B products identify the decision makers, the influencer, the blocker, and the end-user)

hello this is great and I love it

Understanding your ICP

(There are separate tables for both B2C and B2B products, put down your your ICP’s in a Table Format, use this as a reference.
This table makes it super clear for anyone to understand who your users are and what differentiates them)

B2C Table

B2B Table:

​

We have multiple users of a product, and not all of them can be our ICP for whom we make our strategies; we need to prioritise.
(use this ICP prioritization table)

/

(Before you begin, you need to know what your product is, what are its features, what is the problem being solved by your product?)​

​Understanding Core Value Proposition

(Build your core value proposition by exact what your product does and what problem are you solving)

Is that it? What should I actually put here?

(Let's begin by doing a basic competitor analysis in a tabular format considering all the parameters for your product and its competitors)

(Then let's try to understand the market at a macro level and evaluate the trends and tailwinds/headwinds.)

Now it’s time for some math, calculate the size of your market.

TAM = Total no. of potential customers x Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPU)
SAM = TAM x Target Market Segment (percentage of the total market)
SOM = SAM x Market Penetration/Share

Unclear on what needs to be there

Designing Acquisition Channel

(keep in mind the stage of your company before choosing your channels for acquisition.)

​

Organic Channel

(Understand the existing organic channel strategy for your product and highlight the success and failure thereon.
Provide your suggestions and devise new strategies.)

Step 1 → Conduct keyword research on Google, Amazon, Youtube, Quora etc.
Step 2 → Collate all your insights from all your searches.

Content Loop

(Keep it simple and get the basics right)

​

Step 1 → Nail down your content creator, content distributor and your channel of distribution
Step 2 → Decide which type of loop you want to build out.
Step 3 → Create a simple flow diagram to represent the content loop.

(Understand what is already being done, what is working out well and what needs to be stopped)

Step 1 → Define the CAC: LTV ratio. If your product has a healthy CAC:LTV ratio, proceed with paid ads.

Step 2 → Choose an ICP

Step 3 → Select advertising channels

Step 4 → Write a Marketing Pitch

Step 5 → Customize your message for different customer segments to ensure relevance

Step 6 → Design at least two ad creatives (e.g., images, sketches, videos, text ads) that reflect your marketing pitch.

(Understand, where does organic intent for your product begins?)

​

Step 1 → Identify complementary products used by your ICP
Step 2 → Use the selection framework and compare the potential integrations it in a tabular form.

Step 3 → Collaborate with necessary stakeholders
Step 4 → Map the customer journey
Step 3 → Design the wireframe with the new integration
Step 3 → Run pilot tests before launching
Step 3 → Measure post-integration metrics

​

(For B2B companies, if referral does not make sense you'll take a crack at a partner program for your product)

​

Step 1 → Flesh out the referral/partner program
Step 2 → Draw raw frames on a piece of paper to get the gist.​

(Don't spend a lot of time on design. This is for you to communicate how the referral hook will look)​

​

​we hope this helped you break the cold start problem!
