Media, Marketing & Online Platforms

Go-to-market for agencies, SaaS and platforms: the route follows from your price.

Agency, software or marketplace: planix checks whether your price carries in-person sales or whether you sell via web and free trial – and, for platforms, which side you win first.

Whether your price carries in-person sales – and which side of your platform comes first.

Included in Premium. Develop go-to-market comes with the subscription from CHF 24 per month. The strategy with lead list and messages costs CHF 49 one-off, no subscription needed.

In software, the price decides the sales route

A low monthly price doesn’t pay for visits: if you sell in person, you need a customer value that pays for the conversations. Below that, only self-service with a free trial works – and only if customers can set up without help and see value in the first session. Platforms add a second question: which side is harder to win? That one comes first.

Typical starting segments

Rules in detail
Start

A niche with a clear workflow

Businesses of the same kind in one region that solve the same problem in the same way – today with Excel or paper.

Next

The adjacent niche

Comes next: similar businesses with a slightly different workflow. Only once the first group recommends you.

Not now

“All SMEs”

Too broad: buyers, workflows and customer hangouts differ by subgroup. You can’t choose channels that way.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from the industry

No. planix checks whether your price carries your sales route. If customer value isn’t enough for in-person sales, it suggests web or partners – or shows that the price is too low.

With the side that is harder to win. planix calculates the minimum customer base per side and plans the hard side first.
