LEAD-TO-ORDER GOVERNANCE
Most $5M–$50M technology companies do not have a sales problem.
They have a Lead-to-Order governance problem.
Revenue becomes unpredictable when the operating architecture behind commercial performance has not kept pace with the company’s growth stage. The issue is rarely effort. It is structural design.
Does This Sound Familiar?
- If your board asks "How confident are you in this forecast?" — and the answer depends on who last updated the CRM.
- If one quiet quarter forces you to pause hiring, defer investment, or defend variance to investors.
- If key deals stall until you personally step in to rescue them.
- If a VP Sales was replaced in the last 18 months — and structural performance did not improve.
