Market Fit Roadmap

Goal: Lock positioning and narrative before building anything else.

• Approve final promise statement

  If someone repeats this back to you, they should “get it” instantly. No features—just the outcome.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Approve “Who this is for / not for”

  This reduces churn and support load. The wrong audience creates noisy data.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Confirm urgency of the problem

  People move when it feels costly to stay stuck. If urgency is weak, improve clarity (not hype).
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Define initial performance signals

  We trust behavior, not opinions. These thresholds decide what we change next.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Finalize landing page headline

  Headline should reduce anxiety in 3–5 seconds and clearly state the promise.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Finalize subheadline

  Use the subheadline to explain “how it works” in one calm line.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Finalize primary CTA

  One CTA only. The job is progress, not persuasion.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Finalize thank-you page copy

  Reassure them, set expectations, and remove doubt about what happens next.
  Action Item

  Completed: —

Goal: Build only what’s required to launch and learn. (Recommended: Systeme.io)

• Squeeze page live

  This is your single-entry point. Keep it simple: promise + CTA + calm reassurance.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Thank-you page live

  Immediately confirm they’re in. No selling—just clarity and what to expect.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Funnel URL confirmed

  Lock the URL early so tracking, links, and emails don’t break during testing.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Automation rule connected (form subscribed → subscribe to campaign)

  This is the core handoff. If this fails, everything fails—test it twice.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Email campaign created (draft OK)

  Draft is fine. The only goal is a working learning loop, not perfect copy.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Load onboarding emails 1–5 (short, calm, clear)

  One idea per email. Your job is confidence + direction, not education depth.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Delays set correctly

  Spacing prevents overwhelm. If people feel flooded, they disengage.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• No hype language / no pressure to buy

  Plannova wins by lowering anxiety. Pressure spikes drop-off and refunds.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Test opt-in → contact appears in system

  Do a real test with your email. Confirm: form → contact → campaign.
  Action Item

  Completed: —

Goal: Validate flow before real traffic. Focus: behavior, not volume.

• Internal testing: opt-in works

  Test from multiple devices. Confirm the thank-you page renders correctly.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Internal testing: automation triggers correctly

  Confirm the tag/list/campaign assignment is correct every time.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Internal testing: emails send in correct order

  Email order is your learning loop. If order breaks, signal becomes noise.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Internal testing: links work

  Click every link in every email. Broken links equal broken trust.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Mobile experience verified

  Most people will see this on mobile first. Make sure it feels calm and readable.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Issues logged and visible

  Write issues down immediately. Don’t “fix from memory”—you’ll miss patterns.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Soft launch: shared with existing audience

  Add plannova Founder:Benji Jean on LinkedIn. Profile: linkedin.com/in/benji-jean.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Soft launch: shared with existing audience

  Network with 20-30 new prospects based on demand resource library. Increase your network.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Soft launch: shared with existing audience

  Start with the warmest people first. You want honest behavior data.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Soft launch: direct outreach completed

  10–20 personal messages beats 1,000 cold impressions at this stage.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Soft launch: small warm list notified

  Keep it short: problem → promise → one next step. No extra offers.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Confirm: no paid ads launched

  Don’t pay for traffic until the system reliably converts and the message is understood.
  Action Item

  Completed: —

Goal: Read signal, decide, then launch with confidence. Opinions do not override data.

• Review opt-in rate (target 25–40%)

  Below 25% = message unclear. Above 40% = strong promise; don’t overbuild—test next.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Review open rate for Email 1 & 2 (target ≥ 40%)

  Open rate reflects trust and relevance. If low, fix subject + first line—keep calm.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Review reply rate (target ≥ 1%)

  Replies are high-quality signal. Even a few unsolicited replies matter more than clicks.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Review click-through behavior

  Clicks show curiosity. Track what they wanted next—that’s your product direction.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Identify drop-off point

  Find the email/step where engagement drops. Simplify or rewrite that exact moment.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Confirm decision: refine / cut / double down

  Refine if signal is close, cut if it’s flat, double down if the pattern is clear.
  Action Item

  Completed: —
• Launch only if: funnel stable + messaging understood + signal present

  The launch is a decision, not a vibe. If the system isn’t stable, it’s ‘Not yet.’
