Product-market fit

Traction stays flat without a product that clicks with customers. If progress feels like an uphill battle, it's time to adjust your product or pivot to a new market.

Go-to-market strategy

When revenue can’t scale further, it's time to recalibrate your go-to-market strategy and infrastructure across every step of the customer journey.
