1. Go-to-market

Business & Finance · Management & Strategy Abbreviations

Plan for launching a product or entering a market, covering target customers, value proposition, pricing, sales channels and marketing. A GTM strategy answers who will buy, why, through which route and at what cost to acquire them.

Example: Our GTM for the enterprise tier relies on direct sales, while the self-serve plan launches through the app store.

Used as both noun and modifier: "GTM strategy," "GTM team," "GTM motion." In software companies, "GTM" often refers collectively to the sales, marketing and customer success functions. Common GTM models include sales-led, product-led and partner-led growth.

2. Google Tag Manager

Business & Finance · Marketing & Advertising Abbreviations

Free Google tool that lets marketers add and manage tracking codes, analytics tags and conversion pixels on a website or app through a web interface, without editing the site's code for each change.

Example: Add the Meta pixel through GTM and fire it only on the order confirmation page.

Launched in 2012, GTM uses containers, triggers and variables to control when each tag fires. A misconfigured container can double-count conversions or slow a site. In strategy, GTM more often means go-to-market.
