GROWTH PRACTICE
Sustainable Growth Starts Here
Most companies don’t struggle because they lack sales or marketing effort—they struggle because their commercial engine lacks process, discipline, and scalability. Revenue systems are complex, and growth issues are rarely caused by a single, obvious problem.
Stage 5 helps teams identify where growth is breaking down, trace issues to the root cause, and build a commercial system designed for reliable execution. Whether growth has stalled, not yet been achieved, or the business is in decline, we install the processes, tools, and accountability needed to deliver predictable, profitable results.
Let’s Discuss Your Growth Challenges
Unlock Growth Strategies
As companies grow, revenue complexity increases. New markets, products, pricing pressure, channels, and teams expose gaps in how growth is planned, executed, and managed. Without a system, results can become inconsistent and forecasts unreliable.
What the Data Tells Us
- 50–75% of companies fail to achieve stated growth goals
- Only ~30% of sales organizations follow a formal selling system
- Fewer than 40% of leaders have confidence in their revenue forecast
"Pipeline activity and growth do not equal revenue predictability."
Common Growth Symptoms
- Pipeline looks full and/or growing, revenue still misses
- Sales performance varies wildly by rep or region
- Discounting increases to close deals
- Marketing activity doesn’t translate to bookings
- Forecasts change constantly and lose credibility
These are not sales or marketing talent problems. They are system problems.
Our Growth Approach
Growth Ecosystem Assessment
The Growth Ecosystem Assessment provides a thorough, fact-based view of how your commercial engine actually performs—across strategy, go-to-market design, sales execution, pricing, pipeline management, and forecasting. It identifies where growth breaks down, where value leaks, and what must change to scale predictably.
What You Get
- End-to-end view of your commercial ecosystem - including everything related to sales, marketing and sales operations.
- Identification of revenue bottlenecks and leakage - end markets, customers, competitors, and more.
- Assessment of sales process, pipeline, and forecasting discipline
- Talent assessment including leadership and individual contributors.
