Revenue maturity assessment

Where you sit on the revenue maturity curve, what is about to break, and what to fix first.

2

Operating model design

Roles, territories, coverage and capacity planning for sales, marketing and customer success.

3

Funnel & metric definitions

One documented set of stages, conversion metrics and SLAs agreed across teams.

4

Forecasting method & cadence

A forecast model and weekly, monthly and quarterly review rhythm leadership can rely on.

5

RevOps governance

Ownership, change control and a backlog process for the revenue system.

01

Every team has its own number

01

Every team has its own number

What it looks like

Sales, marketing and finance each report a different pipeline and a different forecast. Leadership meetings turn into debates about whose spreadsheet is right.

What we do

We define the funnel stages, metrics and ownership once, document them, and wire every report to the same definitions.

02

The forecast is a guess

02

The forecast is a guess

What it looks like

The quarter's number is built from rep instinct and late-stage deals. Misses are explained after the fact, never seen coming.

What we do

We set up a forecasting method and weekly cadence based on stage conversion and deal history, with inspection points before the quarter slips.

03

Growth breaks every handoff

03

Growth breaks every handoff

What it looks like

Adding a team, a product or a market means rebuilding the process. What worked at ten reps stops working at thirty.

What we do

We design an operating model with defined roles, capacity planning and handoff rules that scales without being reinvented each time.

04

Nobody owns the revenue system

04

Nobody owns the revenue system

What it looks like

Tools, process and data are managed by whoever has time. Fixes are tactical and the same problems return each quarter.

What we do

We define RevOps ownership, governance and a prioritized roadmap, so improvements compound instead of resetting.
