    TAM or Total Addressable Market Definition

    Definition: As companies look at how to go to market, it’s important to catalog the entire ecosystem of potential buyers or the TAM.

    Out of the total addressable market, wise companies will then focus on the low-hanging fruit and completely ignore more difficult portions of their TAM.

    TAM or Total Addressable Market Definition

    Use It In a Sentence: We’ve got a huge TAM, but we really want to get this company profitable by selling to every soccer mom we can until we can’t find anymore.
