When is it recommended to implement Digital Growth Evaluation?

Current growth not fast enough

When a company is not growing as fast as desired, it is beneficial to get a fresh perspective on the current revenue generating functions. There’s always unidentified opportunities for growth and using a critical eye with a proven track record to uncover these opportunities is recommended

New owners or new management

New owners or new management team might struggle in the beginning to really understand the growth drivers of a target company. Digital Growth Evaluation is a quick and high quality method to reach an in-depth understanding of a business.

Negative growth

Plateauing or decreasing revenue is alway an alarming situation. Management team may have inaccurate or even delusional perspectives about the state of the business. In these cases it is vital to make a reality check about the commercial operations of a business through digital growth evaluation.

New products / services 

Launching a new product or service is the best possible moment to start doing correct and effective commercial operations right from the get go

Market disruption

Digitalisation, climate change or a pandemic may change the world order significantly. When the market conditions are changing, old habits may not be as effective anymore. Transformations in the market require refreshed commercial actions.

Currently not utilising digital sales channels effectively

Companies are often relying on traditional sales methods, such as cold calling. There’s nothing wrong with this, however, in case digital sales channels are not utilized, there’s money left on the table. Digital channels are the ones that give the tools for scalable growth.

What are the requirements for a successful Digital Growth Evaluation?

Visibility and accessibility

To be able to dig deep into the target company’s commercial capabilities, visibility and access to all the relevant data and tools are needed

Open communication

The most relevant information is located in the individuals. Thus open communication even about the most painful matters is a must to really benefit from the study.

Willingness to broaden perspective
