Leverage the Revenue Operations Benchmark For New Investments

For new investment opportunities, the Revenue Operations Benchmark asssessment offers a lens through which investors can examine the robustness of a company's revenue capabilities—assessing factors such as customer management, sales effectiveness, and the scalability of business models. This holistic analysis provides a strategic roadmap for identifying and implementing operational improvements that drive defensible growth.

  • Enhance Due Diligence

The ROBTM assessment complements traditional diligence methods by providing deeper insights into a company's operational dynamics, often overlooked by Quality of Earnings (QoE) analysis. This helps mitigate risks, ensuring a smoother transition post-acquisition, and establishing a collaborative relationship with the management team from the outset.

  • Post-Closing

Following the deal closure, a detailed ROBTM assessment aids investors and management in identifying and agreeing on the fundamental challenges facing the business. This consensus facilitates the development of effective action plans, ensuring that the initial period post-acquisition is marked by data-driven and goal-oriented activities.

  • Portfolio Scan

For portfolio companies not meeting growth expectations, ROBTM serves as an essential diagnostic tool, pinpointing the underlying reasons for underperformance. By providing a prioritized action plan, ROBTM enables management to reallocate resources effectively, align various functions, and streamline the revenue cycle, thereby reinvigorating growth.

  • Add-on Acquisitions

A ROBTM assessment is crucial in evaluating the compatibility and integration potential of add-on acquisitions. This strategic application of ROBTM helps avoid integration pitfalls and maximizes the synergistic potential of combined entities, fostering a cohesive and growth-oriented organizational culture.

  • Pre-Sale Value Maximization

In the months leading up to a potential sale, conducting a ROBTM assessment alongside a Quality of Earnings analysis offers an assessment and roadmap for enhancing revenue quality and operational alignment. This preparation not only strengthens the company's growth narrative but also positions it for maximum valuation upon exit.

Existing Portfolio Companies

For existing portfolio companies, the Revenue Operations Benchmark provides CEOs and management teams with a performance improvement blueprint for knitting together the systems, processes, and operations that support revenue growth in ways that generate scalable, predictable, and consistent growth. This approach equips investment teams with the data and insights to make informed strategic decisions, optimize operations, and align investments toward sustainable revenue growth.

By embedding insights from the Revenue Operations Benchmark into our current processes we can optimize the operations of portfolio companies which has allowed us to do better planning, fix broken operating models, and provide a stronger path to execution.
