Revenue Factors
What is Revenue Trajectory
The revenue number is a result. The trajectory is created by the interacting factors behind it.
Revenue Trajectory is a way of looking beyond the number itself to understand what is influencing where revenue is headed.
Revenue rarely changes because of a single factor. Leadership decisions, organizational capability, product direction, marketing and sales effectiveness, execution, and changing market dynamics interact continuously.
Trajectory is the output of that interaction.
Six broad areas. Multiple factors. Constant interaction.
Leadership & Direction
Clarity of direction, priorities, decisions and organizational alignment.
People & Organizational Capability
Whether the organization has the people, structure, skills and capacity required to execute.
Product, Innovation & Adaptation
How well the offering continues to solve important customer problems and adapt as those problems change.
Marketing & Sales Effectiveness
How effectively the company creates the right opportunities and manages them through conversion, delivery, retention and expansion.
Execution & Coordination
