PIVOT Launch Year
Our Product Launch Strategy, produced by marketing consultants Solomon Rex, outlines our beachhead market, YWAM International and partner organizations. The study indicated the Converge platform will quickly become unmanageable if we go to market too soon.
REACH Scaling of Global Market
• YWAM International and National Offices, with reach to thousands. For example,• YWAM international has offered to connect with
Converge. When YWAM published an annual GO Manual, over 4000 opportunities for service were listed. YWAM.org receives thirty-thousand unique hits each month from people searching for an outreach.
• YWAM Thailand National Office has 80 ministry partner organization projects and over 100 outreaches each year.
