September 14, 2020 | Dallas, TX – SBI, a management consultancy specializing in B2B revenue growth, today announced the publication of their latest research report, “Revitalizing Growth: Accelerate While Others Stand Still.” The report uncovers how market leaders have responded to the disruptive economic climate to outpace the competition.

SBI’s study surveyed 1,308 CEOs from both public and private B2B companies and have found that software companies have found themselves in one of three categories: Survivors, Observers, or Accelerators. While the research has shown that 68% of industry leaders fit within the Observers category, only 9% were identified as Accelerators based on their ability to remain pragmatic, agile, and vigilant throughout the planning process.

“Companies must move swiftly because the world is just changing too fast,” said Matt Sharrers, CEO of SBI. “How software companies prepare the growth strategy matters.  We found that Accelerators have best positioned themselves for a faster rebound and continued success.”

This report outlines how CEOs and their teams can make strategic decisions to outpace their competition and industry by adapting best practices form the Accelerators. Namely, how to:

  • Re-assess the revenue growth strategy to adapt to changes over time.
  • Re-imagine the commercial engine to evaluate new opportunities in the market.
  • Re-allocate resources and execute to implement quickly and flawlessly.

“Software market leaders are going back to the base to prioritize retention, plus reallocating commercial investments to drive effectiveness, said Marc Odenweller, Managing Director, Software Practice.  “From enterprise software to hypergrowth SaaS, these companies are growing pipeline, bookings and retention while maintaining or lowering costs.”
