GTM Diagnostic
An end-to-end examination of customer base health, demand generation effectiveness, ICP alignment, sales capability and product market fit.
Your team, customers and partners interviewed by an independent outsider builds a holistic view of your business that is typically hidden from you day-to-day. Paired with a thorough review of systems and processes, the diagnostic uncovers key issues, opportunities and hidden strengths affecting growth and revenue performance.
Thirty to sixty days, fixed length. Scope and timing agreed before we start.
A thorough diagnosis of the specific issues holding back your revenue performance, a concrete roadmap for how to fix, and a clear plan for how to architect growth moving forward.
- The health of your revenue base: growth, retention, concentration, and churn risk
- What your past and present customers and partners actually think, from independent interviews, in their own words
- Capability assessments across sales, demand generation, marketing and service delivery
- How well your offer is meeting the market need, and the changes required to improve it
- The growth options open to you, weighed with clear commercial rationale and ranked on impact vs effort to execute
- A go-forward plan for growth, right-sized for your business, with the choice to implement on your own, or with our help
GTM Leadership
Full accountability for growth, delivered in a fractional, part-time engagement model.
Starting with the GTM Diagnostic, this engagement model assumes full accountability for driving the growth of your business. Reporting to you, the approach is designed to deliver commercial impact in the shortest possible time. Starting with quick wins to improve your team's ability to generate sufficient demand to feed the sales team, and delivering initiatives to grow the capability and maturity of sales and marketing execution.
We recommend a minimum of three to six months in order to embed meaningful change, however the most transformative path is typically 12 months or more. This provides sufficient runway for true behavioural change in sales and marketing practices to be adopted and competency to lift.
A repeatable system for growth that survives personnel changes, and ultimately liberates you from the burden of always having to be the smartest sales person or marketer in the room. The net result is a business that's growing faster, more consistently and is ultimately worth more to you and investors over the long term.
CEO Advisory
Direct work with you as the owner of sales and marketing, to triage what's underperforming and make the right calls.
If sales and marketing management was never in your DNA, sometimes you just need an executive sounding board around decisions that impact your growth. Sized to your schedule and level of support required, this is timely support to help you make better calls on sourcing and developing talent, how to keep your agencies and partners accountable, which campaigns to get behind and which ones are likely to burn cash for little ROI. Built for the owner retaining direct management of sales and marketing, who needs grounded commercial advice from someone who has run both.
Ad hoc or ongoing. Use it when you need it, or keep a standing cadence.
Just-in-time support to help make informed sales and marketing decisions, faster. Independent judgement on strategy, tactics, people, pricing, channels and partners. Help making the tough calls, and guidance on navigating terrain outside your core domain expertise.
Accountability, not hours
The same accountability you would expect from hiring your own CMO or CRO. Not advice, not deliverables, not a report. Responsibility for whether growth happens.
That covers sales, marketing, and whether the product is pointed at the right market. The problem is rarely where the owner thinks it is and rarely sits inside one function, so an engagement that could only touch one of them would be answering a question nobody asked.
It is delivered in a fractional engagement model, which means part-time and ongoing rather than a project with an end date. You get a senior operator for a defined share of the week, working to your objectives, without the risk, delay or cost of a premature full-time hire.
- Product, demand, marketing and sales examined end to end
- Your customers and your own people interviewed
- Your numbers checked, and read against the rest of the market
- Why they started looking, who really drove it, what nearly stopped them
- In the buyer's own words, not your team's best guess
- Written down once, and drawn on by everything afterwards
- Every partner claims the best people and the deepest expertise
- We find what you can credibly claim that they can't
- And that the buyer you actually want cares about
- Months pass between "I'm looking into this" and "here's the money"
- Something to offer at every stage, not just a proposal
- The slow ones stop getting written off on the first call
- Built properly for one segment, then replicated
- Fast-returning channels fund the slow-compounding ones
- The second segment costs a fraction of the first
- Marketing accountable for what it produces, not how much of it
- Sales investing time in why each buyer is in market now
- Demand sized to what sales can convert, and the handover defined
