The Revenue Engine Health Check

Most companies know something in the revenue engine isn’t working. Very few can say exactly what. Our free Health Check tells you where to focus first.

Summary

Demand isn’t your problem. You’re generating more than enough qualified interest, and the team knows the market well. The constraint is everything that happens after a lead arrives. Because your deal stages aren’t defined and each rep works their own way, the pipeline doesn’t describe reality, which is why the forecast has missed three quarters running, and why the misses feel unpredictable rather than explainable. Fix the stages and the definitions and you’d have a forecast the board can lean on within a quarter, without adding headcount or tools.

Revenue engine maturity

ReactiveManagedRepeatableOptimised

You have hands on the wheel: parts of the engine are actively run and watched. What’s missing is consistency — the same situation still gets handled differently depending on who’s dealing with it.

Three areas at risk, one critical, one healthy.

4 of 5 areas need work

Revenue engine scorecard

Healthy — working as it should  At risk — functioning, but leaking  Critical — costing you revenue now

CRM & data health

At risk

HubSpot is in place and the reps do use it, but required fields vary by person and nobody owns hygiene: two reps worked the same account last month.

What good looks like One system of record the team trusts, with a named owner and a short list of mandatory fields.

Sales process & consistency

At risk

Stages exist in the CRM but aren’t defined or written down, so all four reps run a different motion. New reps ramp by shadowing, which takes roughly five months.

What good looks like Written stages with clear exit criteria that every rep follows, and a repeatable way to ramp a new hire.

Pipeline & forecasting

Critical

The forecast is assembled from rep judgement in a spreadsheet. It has missed by 20% or more for three consecutive quarters, and you can’t see where deals drop off.

What good looks like An agreed method and shared definitions landing within 10–15% of the number, with visible stage-by-stage conversion.

Tool stack

At risk

A sensible stack overall, but the outbound tool doesn’t sync activity back into HubSpot, so reporting on top-of-funnel effort is manual and partial.

What good looks like A deliberate stack where every tool is adopted, integrated and clearly earning its cost.

Marketing, sales & CS alignment

Healthy

The handoff itself works, but marketing and sales define a qualified lead differently, and no single person owns churn or expansion.

What good looks like One shared definition of a qualified lead, clean handoffs both ways, and a named owner for churn and expansion.

Priority actions

01

Define your deal stages and exit criteria

Root cause of the forecast misses. Until every rep advances a deal on the same evidence, no forecast built on it can be trusted.

Impact · High  Effort · Medium

First moveBlock 90 minutes with your two most senior reps and write the exit criteria for each stage.

Expected outcomeA forecast you can defend to the board within two quarters.

02

Agree one definition of a qualified lead

Marketing and sales measure different things, which inflates early-stage pipeline and hides where deals really drop off. Most forecast noise starts here.

Impact · High  Effort · Low

First moveOne meeting with marketing to write the definition on a page, then load it into HubSpot.

Expected outcomeBoth teams working to the same number, and honest early-stage pipeline.

03

Give CRM hygiene one owner and three required fields

Stops the duplicate-account problem immediately, and makes the reporting behind actions 1 and 2 possible at all. An afternoon’s work.

Impact · Medium  Effort · Low

First moveName the owner this week and make three fields mandatory on every deal in HubSpot.

Expected outcomeA pipeline that reflects reality, and reporting that’s possible at all.

Your quick win this week

Pick one owner for CRM data hygiene and agree three fields that are mandatory on every deal. It takes an afternoon, needs no budget or tooling, and it stops most of the data mess at source, including the duplicate accounts.

What it costs


Thirty minutes of your time.
Nothing else.


A practical conversation to understand your priorities and where the biggest gaps sit.

There is no fee, no commitment, and no obligation to work together afterwards. The scorecard is yours to keep and act on either way.


What we’ll cover

The questions are direct, and some of them will be uncomfortable. That is the point.


We’ll look at how complete, accurate, and usable your CRM data is, and whether it would stand up if a key rep walked out the door. Clean data is the foundation of a scalable revenue engine.

Good data creates opportunity. Messy data hides it.

We’ll map how deals actually move, not how the CRM says they do: where stages are defined, where reps improvise, and how long a new hire takes to run the motion unaided.

A written process outlives any individual.

We’ll look at where the forecast comes from, how far it has missed, and whether the pipeline behind it describes reality closely enough to plan against.

A forecast is only as good as its definitions.

We’ll go through what you pay for, what’s genuinely adopted, and what’s held together by manual work.

Every tool should earn its place.

We’ll look at the handovers between teams: how a qualified lead is defined on each side, what happens to leads nobody works, and who owns churn and expansion.

Revenue is one funnel, not three.
