Consulting firms

Build a pipeline that does not depend on who the partners know.

For ERP, technology, transformation and management-consulting firms that want more predictable origination and better-qualified pursuits.

What we often see

Common growth challenges

  • Long, complex sales cycles with multiple decision-makers.
  • Delivery leaders sell between engagements, so pipeline rises and falls with utilization.
  • Pipeline is concentrated in a few accounts or a few individuals.
  • Software vendors, PE sponsors and other referral sources are under-used.

Where we help

Three problem areas, one plan.

01 / Offerings & markets

“Our expertise isn’t translating into growth.”

Define priority buyers, package service offerings and build a go-to-market plan that connects positioning, executive outreach and cross-selling.

Work toward: clearer offers and a focused path to new business.

02 / Partnerships & origination

“We need new routes to the right buyers.”

Develop accounting, banking and private-equity referral relationships, strategic alliances and channel programs with a clear value proposition and follow-through.

Work toward: a repeatable approach to originating and developing opportunities.

03 / Commercial operations

“Growth depends too much on individual effort.”

Connect sales process, CRM discipline, pipeline governance, compensation design and executive reporting. Provide fractional leadership to put the plan into practice.

Work toward: an accountable commercial operation with clearer priorities and revenue visibility.
