A lot of startups and growing businesses struggle to create a predictable revenue stream.
Many founders think that creating a predictable revenue stream is tied to their exit strategy or they don’t plan at all. This can lead to missed opportunities, poor performance, and even failure for your business.
Jim Barnish Jr. has helped many companies create this critical element in their growth plans. He’s created an easy-to-follow process that has been tested over time and across industries for you to follow so that you can get the results you need from your company’s sales team and marketing efforts.
There are certain elements that need to be put in place to create a predictable revenue engine that drives growth rapidly and minimizes risk while also ensuring value creation at every level of the company. These elements include agile planning processes, an intentional approach towards risk mitigation, and making big bets that pay off. Jim shares his direct experience from creating such an engine in multiple businesses he has built over his career as well as gives advice on how others can avoid common pitfalls when trying to do so themselves.
