A buyer persona is a semi-fictional profile of your ideal buyer — their job title, responsibilities, goals, pain points, objections, and how they prefer to buy. Personas are most useful when based on real customer interviews, not invented demographics. The mistake: creating 10 generic personas that nobody references. Better to have 2–3 well-researched personas that sales and marketing actually use when writing copy, building campaigns, and planning content.
For example, a persona for a rev ops SaaS might be 'Marcus, VP of RevOps at Series B SaaS, 40–55, owns CRM and sales tech stack, frustrated by data inconsistency between Salesforce and the data warehouse, reads SaaStr and Pavilion content, evaluates tools with a 30-day POC.'
We build personas from customer interviews — 5–10 conversations with real buyers tell us more than any demographic framework.

GTM is the complete plan for how you bring a product to market: who you're selling to (ICP), what problem you solve (positioning), how you reach them (channels), what you charge (pricing), and how sales and marketing work together.
Product-Market Fit (PMF)
Product-market fit is when your product satisfies a real market need strongly enough that customers come back, expand, and refer others without heavy marketing.
Positioning
Positioning is how you define your product in relation to alternatives in the mind of your target customer.
Messaging
Messaging is how your positioning translates into specific words: headlines, taglines, elevator pitches, email copy, and ad creative.
Brand Awareness
Brand awareness is the degree to which your target market recognizes and recalls your brand.
Jobs-to-Be-Done (JTBD)
Jobs-to-be-done is a framework for understanding why customers buy: they 'hire' a product to accomplish a specific job — a functional, social, or emotional outcome.
