Revenue Growth Programs
Why Revenue Growth Programs Matter
Without systematic revenue growth programs, portfolio companies rely on heroics from individual salespeople, make random bets on marketing channels, experience unpredictable quarterly results, and struggle to scale. Growth is episodic rather than systematic, making it difficult to forecast and forecast and defend valuations.
With comprehensive revenue growth programs, portfolio companies build repeatable sales processes, optimize marketing spend, implement customer success that drives retention and expansion, deploy revenue operations that provide visibility and efficiency, and achieve predictable growth that commands premium exit valuations. Systematic approaches deliver 2-3x better growth than ad hoc efforts.
