You can execute perfectly and still fail because you’re executing the wrong strategy.
Years ago, Eric Baxley was leading marketing for a billion-dollar software business.
The marketing team was doing everything right.
Campaigns were well executed.
Plans were followed.
The team was moving fast.
But they were targeting the wrong customers and the wrong use cases.
The problem wasn’t ex*****on. It was segmentation.
That lesson is especially important for startups operating with limited capital and runway.
At Nobody Studios, we call our approach frugressive — frugal + aggressive.
Launch lean.
Validate fast.
Double down on what works.
Don’t waste capital proving the wrong thing.
Segmentation applies that same discipline to go-to-market.
For Evalify, it meant identifying five distinct segments in the legal market, each with different budgets, buying behavior, use cases, and growth potential.
Because “patent attorneys” isn’t a segment.
The right segmentation influences everything that follows: messaging, channels, sales motion, pricing, partnerships, and even product decisions.
You don’t need to target everyone. You need to know who matters most.
