​Searching for suitable leads and quick close deals? SproutsAI is an AI-powered sales platform that automates prospecting, immediately connects you to verified decision-makers, and grows personalised outreach—all in one place.

(Go and speak to different users of the product and the people in the chain: households buying the product, shopkeepers selling the product, churned users, and users using competitor's products. In the case of B2B products identify the decision makers, the influencer, the blocker, and the end-user)

Understanding your ICP

What do we observe here?

Priority one is ICP 2 (Enterprise Legacy) and ICP 4 (Remote-First Tech).

Both combine great distribution potential and strong desire to pay.

While ICP 4 fits the expanding trend of remote work, ICP 2 provides compliance-driven business contracts.

Though it has financial restrictions, ICP 1 (Tech Startups) is nevertheless relevant in volume.

Though ICP 3, Professional Services, has modest ratings, industry-specific initiatives could help to improve them.

Emphasise ICP 2 (upsell enterprise features including GDPR compliance and ABM) and ICP 4 (target PLG motion with freemium trials for remote teams).

Target firms in healthcare/finance (ICP 2) and SaaS/cybersecurity (ICP 4) using Sprouts' intent data.

​Understanding Core Value Proposition

Core Value Props

Target Customers

Revenue operations leaders, B2B sales teams, marketers in high-growth startups/SMBs (tech, SaaS, e-commerce) and companies (financial services, healthcare, manufacturing).

Problem Being Solved

Time lost on unreliable contact data and manual prospecting.

Sales, marketing, and CRM tool disconnected processes.

Finding difficulty growing outreach without compromising compliance or personalising ability.

Unable to monitor lead-generation initiatives' ROI.

(Let's begin by doing a basic competitor analysis in a tabular format considering all the parameters for your product and its competitors)

(Then let's try to understand the market at a macro level and evaluate the trends and tailwinds/headwinds.)

Now it’s time for some math, calculate the size of your market.

TAM = Total no. of potential customers x Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPU)
SAM = TAM x Target Market Segment (percentage of the total market)
SOM = SAM x Market Penetration/Share

Competitor Analysis Table

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The global B2B sales software market is ~$30B (2023), growing to $50B by 2027 (Statista), including CRM, sales intelligence, and engagement tools.

Serviceable Available Market (SAM)

SMBs (50–500 employees) contribute 5M+ globally in tech, SaaS, and e-commerce.

Enterprises (500+ employees) are 20K+ companies in healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.

~$12B (40% of TAM, focusing on Sprouts' core industries)

Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM)

Realistic penetration of SMBs with 5% capture of tech/SMBs (250K companies) at $3K/year will be $750M ARR.

For enterprises, 2% capture of target enterprises (400 companies) at $20K/year will be $8M ARR.

Trends

1. Sales teams depend more and more on artificial intelligence to automate prospecting, customise communications, and project buyer intent.
2. Post-pandemic, decentralized sales teams need tools to collaborate and centralize data.
3. More rigorous GDPR/CCPA compliance calls for tools with clear data sourcing and opt-out control.

Tailwinds:

1. Globally, B2B sales/marketing tech spending is expected to rise at a 12% CAGR (Gartner).
2. Startups scaling quickly need tools like SproutsAI to develop outbound pipelines alongside freemium models, hence addressing the rise of PLG.

(For B2B companies, if referral does not make sense you'll take a crack at a partner program for your product)

​

Step 1 → Flesh out the referral/partner program
Step 2 → Draw raw frames on a piece of paper to get the gist.​
