 Building a successful company isn’t just about growth – it’s about scale!
 Growth means adding resources at the same rate that you’re adding revenue.
For example, a company that gains a customer, hires more people to service
them, and adds revenue at the same rate it is adding more cost. This is typical in
many professional services-driven business models. While the company is
technically growing, they’re not scaling.
 Scale is about adding revenue at a rapid rate while adding resources at an
incremental rate. Google, Salesforce.com, and Citrix are prime examples of
successfully scaled businesses. They have mastered the formula of quickly
adding customers while adding fewer additional resources; thus, driving
consistent growth and increasing margin over time.

1. Evaluate and Plan-take a hard look at your business-
best place to start-a detailed long-term sales forecast.
2. Do you have the money to scale? If not, what is the plan
to get that $?
3. Do you have the sales structure in place to secure your
long-term sales forecast?
4. Invest in Technology-automate and integrate your
systems to handle the scale.
5. Find the best people or, outsource what you can on a
short-term basis.

The first step for startups should take is to determine where they lie on the
spectrum by examining the variables. Examine each one and determine whether
your product lies on the left (marketing-intensive) or right (sales-intensive). To
determine the answer, ask yourself questions about each variable.
•What will the customer pay?
•How many customers are there?
•Easy sales or complex sale?
•Product out of the box?
•Is the sale just the start ?
•Consumer or direct to business?
•Focus on the cadence of the
relationship; do you measure by
transactions or loyalty?
• What touches does the product
require?

7.
1. Define The Market & Value It-TAM>SAM>SOM
2. Determine the Value Proposition
3. Define the Product Strategy
4. Discuss and Agree to your Sales Channels
5. Develop a Marketing Plan
6. Ensure you have a Customer Support/Success Plan
in place
7. Evaluate, Define and Agree to “Success
Important to note that Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is a critical
metric here. CAC is the cost to convince a customer to buy a
product or service. Investors will use this to analyze the scalability
of a company. How much $ can be extracted from customers
against the cost of extracting the $.

Structure Design
 Geographical Organization -low
cost, little duplication of sales
effort
 Product Sales Structure -higher
costs, due to duplication of sales
effort
 Market-Based Structure -reps
grouped by customer or industry-
closer to the customer-could result
in multiple reps in same customer
 Functional Structure -
responsibilities divided by people’s
place in the sales process

One thing is clear, if you want to scale, you need to bring on
the best possible team. In order to do that you need to:
1. Build an Ideal/Target Customer Profile-to ensure you are
going after the right prospects;
2. Define an Ideal Rep Profile-to ensure you are hiring the
right rep, not just the best rep on paper;
3. Offer the Right Sales Tools-even great reps will struggle
if they are not properly enabled;
4. Build an incentive compensation plan that will attract the
best talent in your industry; and
5. Provide effective leadership and coaching at all levels,
especially at the sales manager level.
6. Rely on Sales Operations and Sales Enablement for
insights and ramping your reps-FAST!
