Segment Prioritization:
To efficiently accelerate growth, businesses must prioritize industry segments which have the most promise in the short-term. Companies often only look at external market opportunities and Total Addressable Markets (TAM), investigating key trends, category spend, pending triggers, and the competitive landscape. It’s just as important to assess internal organizational capabilities to succeed, such as the right products and solutions, domain expertise, a quality database to reach prospects, the right value proposition and messaging, and the right sales channel fully enabled. To pick and focus on the lowest hanging fruit, it’s imperative to consider the external market situation and internal capabilities. Some markets may present a great opportunity, but we’re just not ready until we shore up our internal capabilities to support a robust and aligned market engagement. DemandRevenue will help facilitate this strategic process, with cross-functional involvement between sales, marketing, and product functions.
