Market entry strategy prompt for PowerPoint
A prompt for a 12-slide market entry recommendation for a CEO and investment committee. It scores three candidate markets on a weighted model, maps them against your capability to win, and ends with the first market to enter and an 18-month plan.

Market entry strategy prompt
Fill in any highlighted fields, then copy or run it.
Build a 12-slide market entry recommendation for [company] entering [region]. Audience: CEO and investment committee. Decision: select the first market and approve an 18-month plan. Compare [market A], [market B], and [market C] on size, growth, competition, regulation, route to market, and capability fit. Use a weighted model, capability matrix, economics, risks, and roadmap. Cite external claims. Separate facts, assumptions, and recommendations.
Why this prompt works
Six named criteria
Markets are compared on size, growth, competition, regulation, route to market and capability fit. Naming them stops the model from ranking on market size alone.
A weighted model, not a gut call
Asking for a weighted model forces an explicit weight per criterion, so the committee can debate one weight instead of the whole answer.
Attractiveness meets capability
The capability matrix plots how attractive each market is against your ability to win there, so a large market you cannot serve does not top the list.
Facts and assumptions split
"Separate facts, assumptions, and recommendations" plus "Cite external claims" keeps a market size estimate from reading as settled fact.
Adapt it to your own deck
Fill the brackets
Replace [company], [region] and the three [market] placeholders. Attach any market studies and add "Use only the attached sources for size and growth; label the rest as assumptions."
Set the weights yourself
If the committee has agreed weights, state them, for example "Weights: size 25%, growth 20%, competition 15%, regulation 15%, route to market 15%, fit 10%."
Compare entry modes instead
For a single-country go or no-go, compare ways in rather than markets: "Compare direct entry, a distribution partner and an acquisition." Adjust the 18-month plan to your budget cycle.
Market entry strategy FAQ
What goes into a market entry strategy deck?
A comparison of candidate markets, an honest view of your ability to compete in each, the entry economics, the main risks and a phased plan. The recommendation names which market to enter first and what the committee is being asked to approve.
Can I run this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini?
Yes. A chat assistant returns slide text, tables and an outline, and you build the slides yourself. In Tosea you attach your research file with the prompt, choose a template, and get slides you can edit and export to PowerPoint (.pptx).
How many markets should I compare?
The prompt uses three, which fits on one scoring table and one matrix. Two works for a narrow choice. With more than five, the scoring table gets hard to read on a slide, so shortlist first and put the long list in an appendix.
Figures on the example slides are illustrative.
