Think TRM and not TAM
TRM = Total Relevant Market (folks you need to sell this quarter/year)
TAM = Total Addressable Market (folks you need to sell in a lifetime)
Dharmesh Shah recently posted this mindblowing statistic about HubSpot :
HubSpot is 16 years into our journey.
We are at $1.5B+ in ARR. 150k+ customers.
But, we are still < 10% market share.
Boom!
That means they are not even close to their TAM and still created a big enough market to go for IPO, with billions in revenue and 1000s of customers.
Key Takeaway - you will do well if you think TRM and not TAM to close more deals, faster in 2023.
