SBI Advisory Services
Ensure On-going Revenue Wellness Before, During, After, or In Absence of Acute Interventions

Revenue Wellness

 

What Is It? Revenue Wellness is a concept-driven by feedback from our clients and the market.  It is a belief that the health of a company’s top-line is an ongoing process that does not have a start and end date like typical traditional consulting.

 

 

  • Traditional revenue consulting is an intervention that addresses an acute problem;
  • Revenue Wellness is an ongoing monitoring of revenue health that gives objective and data-driven guidance ahead of catastrophic failures
  • Intervention along the way will sometimes be unavoidable, but with more visibility, interventions are less disruptive
  • As is true with human health; on-going management of revenue wellness is a lower-cost path with better long-term outcomes versus acute intervention

Revenue Growth Is Not a Sometimes Thing; It’s An All The Time Thing

 

Market Problems Affecting Revenue Focused Executives:

 

  • Market dynamics change more rapidly than ever before
  • It’s difficult to see a top-line “miss” on the horizon
  • The amount of available data can be overwhelming…which data points are most critical?
  • It is difficult to carve time out to evaluate if what is working today will continue to be successful tomorrow.

What’s Included

 

Advisory Services in Action:

 

SITUATION

The company was growing at its industry growth rate (in line with GDP).   Over a 3-year period, SBI has partnered on transformation projects in the following areas:

 

  • Marketing
  • Customer Success
  • Customer Experience

     

The company chose the Advisory Services option to ensure that its team took ownership of the new processes, and could effectively run them on their own.

 

OPPORTUNITY

  • Marketing function was corrupted, and not effectively generating demand.
  • Sales reps were responsible for new logos and existing customers, which was inefficient.
  • Had anecdotal information on customer satisfaction, but this was not measured
  • Talent was misaligned throughout the organization, and SBI provided recommendations on improvements in each function.
