HOW TO DESIGN YOUR GROWTH STRATEGY CÔME COURTEAULT, THEFAMILY

WHAT DEFINES YOUR GROWTH STRATEGY

COMMUNITY VS. INTENT

COMMUNITY What matters is how active your users get. You definitely want to

create a habit.

INTENT Find the right customer, at the right time. What matters is finding one sustainable,

profitable acquisition channel.

HYBRID Sometimes you need to be targeting the right people and to create a habit. For

instance, see the SaaS model.

PRE OR POST PRODUCT/MARKET FIT

3 COMPONENT OF PMF 1. Understanding

2. Buying3. Sharing

REFERRAL IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON

This is where you get liquidity: it makesyour acquisition even more efficient!

SUCCESS IS OBVIOUS Do not delude yourself! If you have to spend more (time or money) than what you earn, it’s

not a product market fit.

TRACTION Check whether you have a PMF. Find your first clients manually:

flyers, scraping, ads…

TRANSITION Set up the core growth engine: retention - referral - activation.Chat a lot with your users to understand their behaviours!

acquisition channels. Test everything: ads, seo, etc.
