FAQs: Go-to-Market & Sales

Start with a regional ICP framework based on sector, company size, and buyer role, then adjust messaging at the country level. For example, decision-making hierarchies differ: in Thailand or Indonesia, deals often involve more consensus, while in Singapore senior execs move faster. Localization should focus on pain points, language tone, and proof points—not a wholesale rebrand. This way, the global brand stays consistent while the buyer feels the message is tailored.

It depends on your product and maturity.

  • Direct sales work best for high-ticket SaaS and enterprise deals, where you need control.

  • Channel sales (via resellers, telcos, SIs) speed access to markets with strong gatekeepers.

  • Hybrid is most common: build an anchor direct account or two, then scale with channel partners. This reduces CAC and leverages trust from established local players.

SEA markets vary widely in purchasing power and taxation. Singapore can bear US-level SaaS pricing; Thailand, Vietnam, or Indonesia often require a localized entry tier. Always factor in VAT/GST, withholding tax, and FX volatility when quoting. Many companies adopt a tiered regional pricing model, pegged to USD but adjusted for local affordability and tax pass-throughs.

In SEA, enterprises are risk-averse and want low-risk proof. Short POCs (Proof of Concept) work best if you can show ROI in 30–60 days. Pilots are better when you need multi-country rollout testing. The most effective accelerators are case studies from similar industries in the region, quantified ROI, and local reference customers. This builds confidence and shortens long procurement cycles.

A balanced SEA pipeline typically shows:

  • 3–4x coverage vs. target ARR.

  • Sales cycle lengths by tier (SMB: 1–2 months; Mid-market: 3–4 months; Enterprise: 6–9 months).

  • Conversion rates: 20–30% from qualified opportunity to closed deal in mature markets, lower in early-entry ones.

  • Partner-sourced revenue %: ideally 30–40% for scale.
    Tracking these ensures you can forecast reliably while adapting to each country’s nuances.
