GTM Teardown (channel audit)

A second opinion on your GTM, before you commit the budget.

Whether marketing is run by a CMO or by the founder, the hard part isn't ideas. It's knowing which two or three channels deserve the next quarter's budget. The Teardown is an outside, data-backed answer in one week, built with you, not handed to you.

Is this for you?

Who this is for, and who it isn't.

A good fit if…

  • You lead marketing (as CMO, head of growth or founder) and want an outside view before a big budget call
  • You need a GTM plan your board will believe
  • You've tried a few channels and can't tell what's working
  • You're about to hire a marketing leader and want to know what the role really needs

Not a fit if…

  • You already know the channel and just need it run (go straight to that channel)
  • Nobody on your side will own the plan afterwards
What you get

Deliverables, not adjectives.

  • Channel scorecard: every relevant channel scored on fit, cost, speed and upside
  • Competitor teardown: where they get their pipeline and where they're exposed
  • 90-day plan: the 2–3 channels to run, in what order, with weekly milestones
  • ROI estimate: expected cost, leading indicators and pipeline range for each channel
  • A live 90-minute working session to pressure-test the plan with your team

FAQ

Questions marketing leaders ask.

Who runs the session?

Me. One senior operator who has run these channels hands-on, not a junior with a template.

What do I walk away with?

A channel scorecard, a competitor teardown, a 90-day plan with milestones, and an ROI estimate. It's yours to run with or without me.

Is the fee credited if we continue?

Yes. The full Teardown fee comes off your first retainer invoice if you start within 30 days.

What do you need from us?

A 60-minute kickoff, read access to analytics and CRM if you can share it, and the right people in the room for the jam session.

We're hiring a CMO. Can you help?

Yes. I can help you define what the role actually needs at your stage, pressure-test candidates' channel experience in a working session, and review their first 90-day plan. You make the hire; I help you make it with your eyes open.

Can we do ongoing advisory instead of execution?

Yes. Advisory retainers start at ₹1.5L/month for 4 online days, or ₹2.5L/month onsite in Mumbai (travel and stay at actuals outside Mumbai).
