**First, let's talk about the Reach phase.** This is all about getting your product in front of the right people. For B2B SaaS, this typically means identifying decision-makers at companies who have the problem your product solves.

Can you tell me: Who specifically experiences the pain point your product addresses? For example, is it IT managers struggling with security compliance, or marketing directors drowning in manual reporting? The more specific we can get, the more precisely we can target your campaigns.

Once we nail down your ideal customer profile, we'll map out the channels where they spend their professional time — LinkedIn, industry publications, podcasts, etc. — and design messaging that speaks directly to their challenges.

**What problem does your SaaS solve, and who feels that pain most acutely?**"""
