# /growth-strategy -- Growth Loops & GTM Motions
|
||||
|
||||
Identify and design the growth mechanisms that will drive sustainable traction. Evaluates five growth loop types and seven GTM motions to build a balanced acquisition and expansion strategy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Invocation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/growth-strategy B2B collaboration tool — growth has stalled at 5K users
|
||||
/growth-strategy Consumer fitness app looking for viral growth
|
||||
/growth-strategy [upload product metrics or growth data]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Understand Growth Context
|
||||
|
||||
Ask:
|
||||
- What is the product? Who uses it?
|
||||
- Current growth metrics: user count, growth rate, acquisition channels
|
||||
- What's working? What's not?
|
||||
- Business model: how does revenue relate to user growth?
|
||||
- Team and budget: what resources can you put toward growth?
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Evaluate Growth Loops
|
||||
|
||||
Apply the **growth-loops** skill:
|
||||
|
||||
Analyze five growth loop types for your product:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Viral Loop**: Users invite others as part of natural product use
|
||||
2. **Usage Loop**: More usage creates more value, bringing users back
|
||||
3. **Collaboration Loop**: Product becomes more valuable when used with others
|
||||
4. **User-Generated Content Loop**: Users create content that attracts new users
|
||||
5. **Referral Loop**: Satisfied users actively recommend to others
|
||||
|
||||
For each applicable loop: mechanism, requirements, expected impact, implementation effort.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Evaluate GTM Motions
|
||||
|
||||
Apply the **gtm-motions** skill:
|
||||
|
||||
Assess seven GTM approaches:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Inbound**: Content, SEO, thought leadership
|
||||
2. **Outbound**: Sales, cold outreach, account-based
|
||||
3. **Paid Digital**: SEM, social ads, display, retargeting
|
||||
4. **Community**: Forums, events, user groups, developer relations
|
||||
5. **Partners**: Integrations, resellers, co-marketing
|
||||
6. **ABM (Account-Based Marketing)**: Targeted enterprise acquisition
|
||||
7. **PLG (Product-Led Growth)**: Free tier, self-serve, product virality
|
||||
|
||||
For each: fit for your product, expected CAC, timeline to results, tools needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Design Growth Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Growth Strategy: [Product]
|
||||
|
||||
**Date**: [today]
|
||||
**Current state**: [user count, growth rate, key channels]
|
||||
**Growth goal**: [target]
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Growth Loops
|
||||
| Loop Type | Mechanism | Fit | Impact | Effort | Priority |
|
||||
|----------|-----------|-----|--------|--------|----------|
|
||||
|
||||
### Primary Growth Loop: [Type]
|
||||
**How it works**: [step-by-step mechanism]
|
||||
**Requirements**: [what needs to be true/built]
|
||||
**Key metrics**: [how to measure loop health]
|
||||
**Implementation plan**: [concrete next steps]
|
||||
|
||||
### Secondary Growth Loop: [Type]
|
||||
[same format]
|
||||
|
||||
### GTM Motion Mix
|
||||
| Motion | Investment | Expected ROI | Timeline | Tools |
|
||||
|--------|-----------|-------------|----------|-------|
|
||||
|
||||
### Growth Experiments
|
||||
| # | Experiment | Tests What | Effort | Expected Learning |
|
||||
|---|-----------|-----------|--------|------------------|
|
||||
|
||||
### Growth Metrics Framework
|
||||
- **North Star**: [growth metric]
|
||||
- **Loop health**: [metrics per loop]
|
||||
- **CAC by channel**: [tracking approach]
|
||||
- **Payback period**: [target]
|
||||
|
||||
### 90-Day Growth Plan
|
||||
**Month 1**: [focus areas and experiments]
|
||||
**Month 2**: [scale what works, cut what doesn't]
|
||||
**Month 3**: [optimize and systematize]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Save as markdown.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Offer Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
- "Want me to **plan a specific launch campaign**?"
|
||||
- "Should I **create marketing content** for the inbound motion?"
|
||||
- "Want me to **set up metrics** to track growth loop health?"
|
||||
- "Should I **design a referral program** based on the referral loop?"
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Growth loops compound; growth tactics don't — prioritize loops over one-off campaigns
|
||||
- The best growth loop uses the product itself as the channel (PLG, viral, collaboration)
|
||||
- Not every loop works for every product — a B2B analytics tool won't go viral on TikTok
|
||||
- Budget should follow learning: invest small in experiments, then scale what proves out
|
||||
- CAC should be < 1/3 of LTV for sustainable growth — flag if projected CAC is too high
