GTM — Go-To-Market
Definition: The strategy and execution plan for how a company brings a product to customers — including pricing, channels, sales motion, and messaging.
Example
A product-led GTM (Slack, Figma) is different from a sales-led GTM (Salesforce, Workday). Pick the wrong one and great products die.

GTM shows up most often in board meetings, quarterly business reviews, and strategy off-sites. When someone uses it, they're usually referring to go-to-market — and they expect the room to already know what that means.
