  2. Over the past two decades working with over 100 companies, we have learned and defined best practices that enable our clients to consistently meet and exceed their revenue targets. Our experiences show that companies miss their revenue targets for three reasons: 1 2 3 The markets they have chosen are not ideal for them, or are no longer ideal. It is critical that companies identify market segments that are ideal for them, and then focus all of their resources in becoming a dominant leader in this market space. Companies should audit their strategic marketing plan to see if the assumptions and even the “facts” they had relied on in the past are still valid. New and disruptive technologies introduce new competition from unexpected quarters. They have not calculated their funnel math, or their funnel math is no longer valid. Funnel Math is simple, clear, and powerful—when done correctly. It tightly Integrates Marketing and Sales to work together, because the numbers dictate what is needed for each to be successful. Funnel Math is what makes it possible to have Sales Optimization and Marketing Accountability. Without valid Funnel Math, it is difficult for a company to make its revenue target, and practically impossible to do that on a consistent basis. Having selected the right market, and having done their Funnel Math, they are having difficulty executing . This is about doing the right things at the right time, in the right sequence, and at the right level. And continually measuring outcome, checking to see if they are consistent with what was planned for, and making necessary adjustments—quickly.

The end result is increased revenues while at the same time reducing marketing and selling costs.

  5. Case Study • How do you turn around a 10 year old company that missed its revenue target by 90%? • The Challenge • The company had missed nearly all of its quarterly revenue targets for the past two years. In the quarter prior to our involvement with them, the company missed its revenue target by 90%. We were asked to turn around sales within 90 days. • Our Approach • Our first task was to understand where exactly the issues were that prevented the company from meeting its revenue objectives. • We conducted a Sales Assessment to fully diagnose the situation. We interviewed Senior Management, members of Sales, Marketing, and Operations. We reviewed marketing content and sales tools; sales and marketing processes; methodologies; forecasts; and compensation Packages. We analyzed our findings, and presented our diagnosis and our recommendations. • We were then invited by Senior Management to implement our recommendations and we proceeded to revamp demand generation, add business development capacity and manage the sales team. • The Result • The company realized a 55% increase in revenue over the previous quarter, and all its Key Performance Indicators significantly improved. • It saw a ten-fold increase in leads from its demand generation programs to over 150 per month • It saw a nine-fold increase in sales read leads, from an average of 4-5 per month, to over 35 –40 per month. • The company was also talking to much larger client base and to more c-level prospects than ever before. • As a result, it now was tripling the size of its sales pipeline, and reaching 50% more of its target market than it had previously. • More importantly, for the first time in over two years, it came within 90% of hitting its revenue target. Champion athletes must work on every aspect of their game. So must companies that want to attain a leadership position.
