titleSize of market (TAM, SAM, SOM)

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The whole universe of state agencies who experience this need.

Serviceable Available Market (SAM)

The part of this market that we can realistically reach and convert in a medium- to long-term.

Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM)

What can we realistically capture of this market in 18-24 months after solution launch? What are our beach-heads? Taking into account our

  • Competitive advantage

  • Current market penetration of competitors

  • Our marketing and sales teams' need for time to reach the customers in (pre-)buying mode


Start writing here:

TAM:

The average number of agencies per state is 150. Which more or less would bring us to 7,500 potential customers in this initiative.

SAM:

If we assume that we can close 2% of that business that is 3 deals per state. Not accounting for a price increase that is 3 agencies x 50 states = 150 CCH Accounts. 150 accounts x $10,000 = $1.5M annually

SOM: ?
