Scaling a B2B tech company isn’t all about getting more revenue. In fact, unpredictable growth can cause a promising company to nosedive by making big bets that it can't follow through on. To scale successfully, you need a repeatable system that allows you to forecast revenue accurately and consistently deliver on value to retain revenue. Many organizations and their leaders struggle with these same questions as they target the next level of growth: How do we keep teams aligned and productive as we grow and add new talent? How do we improve forecasting accuracy and revenue predictability? How do we ensure our strategy translates into measurable board outcomes like higher Average Contract Value (ACV), Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth and reduced Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)? If you’re leading a SaaS or tech organization, achieving alignment at three levels — executive, cross-functional, and within teams — can be the difference between scaling successfully and stalling out. To explore how alignment impacts your growth goals, we'll draw on the story of how one company, Caveonix, applied these principles to drive measurable results like a 200% growth in ARR, a 30% decrease in average sales cycle length, and a 94% decrease in CAC.

When one deal slips, that’s a deal problem. Nobody likes a missed opportunity, though sales professionals accept that some slippage comes with the territory. But when slipped deals are a consistent end-of-quarter occurrence, that’s an organizational problem with serious negative consequences. Companies that can’t rely on forecasts feel ripple effects across the organization, impacting product, delivery, operations, and finance. Unreliable revenue means falling shortof the expectations of your board and leadership. Frequent deal slippage indicates a broader issue with your qualification and sales execution process. It signals that reps aren’t qualifying deals appropriately and managers aren’t coaching effectively. Leaders of revenue teams with a high slip rate need a systematic fix for an organizational challenge. On the Revenue Builders Podcast, hosts John Kaplan and John McMahon met with featured guest John Donnelly III, CRO with DTiQ and Co-Founder of e2log, to break down the reasons why deals slip, and the strategies leaders can use to solve the problem.

MEDDICC is an industry standard for determining the strength of a deal and charting the path to get the deal closed. Many times, deal qualification can hinge on whether your team can identify the Economic Buyer and build enough influence in the organization to both access and evangelize them.
