FROM MARKET ENTRY TO MARKET TRACTION

A 90-Day GTM Playbook for Launching High-Value Digital Printing & Packaging Technology in New Markets

Why do some world-class printing technologies succeed in new markets while others fail—despite superior engineering?

The answer is rarely the machine.

It's the Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy.

Every year, OEMs invest millions in developing innovative printing and packaging technologies, yet many market launches fail because they focus on product features instead of customer problems, business outcomes and market readiness.

This book is your practical guide to changing that.

FROM MARKET ENTRY TO MARKET TRACTION is a step-by-step playbook for Country Managers, Sales Directors, Business Development Leaders, OEM executives and capital-equipment sales professionals responsible for launching high-value industrial technology.

Instead of generic sales advice, you'll learn a proven 90-day GTM framework to turn a new technology into qualified opportunities, lighthouse customers and scalable market growth.

Inside this book, you'll learn how to:

✔ Identify your Winnable Opportunity Market

✔ Build an deal Customer Profile (ICP)

✔ Position technology around business outcomes, not specifications

✔ Create compelling ROI, TCO and payback models
