  • Validate all four criteria with at least 10 customer interviews

  • Ensure beachhead can reference to adjacent market segments
  • Focus all resources on dominating the beachhead (not diluting efforts)
  • Plan exit from beachhead only after 60%+ market share

  • 从极致细分开始。精准的小众滩头市场优于模糊的大众市场
  • 选择最有可能成为你产品布道者的细分市场
  • 至少通过10次客户访谈验证四项标准
  • 选择能最快实现营收与获得客户推荐的细分市场
  • 确保滩头市场能为相邻市场提供参考
  • 集中所有资源主导滩头市场(不要分散精力)
  • 仅在占领60%以上市场份额后再规划退出滩头市场
