0 To 1 Launch

Description

Launch new products from idea to first customers. Use when launching products, finding early adopters, building launch week playbooks, diagnosing why adoption stalls, or learning that press coverage does not equal growth. Includes the three-layer diagnosis, the 2-week experiment cycle, and the launch that got 50K impressions and 12 signups.

What this skill does

1. 1Diagnoses why a launch stalls using a three-layer model: positioning, activation experience, or internal alignment.
2. 2Builds a first-customer acquisition plan using direct outreach, network, ceiling-moment targeting, and community channels.
3. 3Runs 2-week experiment cycles with clear kill criteria to test messaging, pricing, or channel assumptions fast.
4. 4Validates product-market fit against retention, organic growth, and sales velocity signals before scaling spend.
5. 5Designs a partner-led market entry strategy for segments where you lack direct distribution.

When to use

• You just launched and signups are flat — you need to find the actual bottleneck before throwing more budget at it.
• Building the GTM plan for a new product or feature targeting an ICP you haven't sold to before.
• Press coverage drove traffic but almost no conversions and you need to diagnose what broke.
• Looking for your first 10-50 paying customers and need a structured outreach and validation playbook.
