By GTM Quest

Your decisionExplore the working brief

Module 01 / 03

Research

Ask how the agency will test the account segment and offer. Require evidence from the intended buying roles rather than general market claims.

GTM Quest editorial guide Β· Updated 10 October 2026

Select US GTM support with defined segment coverage, response ownership and delivery capacity.

Practical guide Β· 01

US coverage needs a segment and an operating plan

A supplier’s US address does not establish that it can reach your buyers or operate your programme. Define the sector, target accounts and purchasing relationships first. Compare agencies on relevant commercial work and on the responsibilities needed to serve the chosen market.

Your decision

Research

Ask how the agency will test the account segment and offer. Require evidence from the intended buying roles rather than general market claims.

Execution

Specify campaign, seller and technical coverage. Check who responds when your home-market team is unavailable.

Partner

Define whether a local partner contributes access, sales or delivery. Make the customer relationship and escalation route clear.

Practical guide Β· 02

Keep cross-border costs and commitments comparable

An international proposal can mix agency fees, media, software and local delivery costs. Compare the same scope and keep original currencies and billing assumptions visible. Confirm who can make commercial commitments to buyers and how product questions are escalated.

  1. 1

    Scope

    List deliverables, exclusions and client inputs. Distinguish market learning from ongoing operation and customer delivery.

  2. 2

    Costs

    Separate recurring fees, setup work and third-party spend. Use the actual quotation and agreed billing terms rather than directory estimates.

  3. 3

    Authority

    Define who approves offers, technical statements and contract changes. Give local operators an explicit escalation route.

Practical guide Β· 03

Worked example: a US account asks for a local demonstration

Fictional example: a UK supplier receives interest from a US account with several operating sites. The programme needs to establish the buying group and arrange a useful demonstration with product support, rather than route every site into a separate campaign.

  1. Stage 101

    Map

    Identify the account owner, decision roles and group structure. Check existing conversations before assigning new outreach.
  2. Stage 202

    Prepare

    Agree the demonstration purpose, evidence and technical attendees. Arrange working-hour coverage appropriate to the prospect.
  3. Stage 303

    Follow up

    Record the unresolved questions and accepted next step. Coordinate local contacts through the shared account plan.
