Go To Market Strategy Brazil: Stop Chasing Perfection and Start Testing

Everyone wants a perfect market entry plan — especially when entering a complex market like Brazil. But here’s the hard truth:
Success in Brazil doesn’t come from the best plan. It comes from iteration. From volume. From movement.

In other words: quality comes after quantity.

That might sound counterintuitive. Most companies want to get everything right before launching. But Brazil punishes this mindset. Why? Because nothing you’ve tested in the U.S. or Europe applies one-to-one here.

So instead of wasting six months debating strategy, you should be talking to clients, testing offers, refining your positioning, and adapting in real time.

Let me prove it — not with marketing theory, but with a story.

🎓 A lesson from a photography class — and your marketing strategy

In Atomic Habits, James Clear tells a story about a photography professor who split his students into two groups:

• The quantity group had to produce 100 photos by the end of the semester.
• The quality group had to submit only one — but it had to be perfect.

Guess which group produced the best photos?
That’s right — the quantity group. Because they spent the entire semester creating, experimenting, adjusting, and learning.
Meanwhile, the quality group spent months thinking about perfection… and delivered average results.

“The best is the enemy of the good.” – Voltaire

📉 The cost of waiting for perfection in Brazil

Brazil is not the kind of market you can conquer with Excel projections and polished decks.
It’s noisy. It’s relational. It moves differently. And it will humble you if you try to apply textbook frameworks without testing them locally.

Here’s what usually happens:

• Company plans a detailed go to market strategy
• Hires a local agency to “execute the plan”
• Launches with no real feedback loop
• Blames the market when nothing works

What’s missing?
Volume. Speed. Local iteration.
And that’s exactly where most companies fail.
