Would you like to increase your business revenue? I haven't W heard a "no" from anyone ever. But when I ask, "Do you have a process to generate revenue consistently?" then I get a range of answers.
For most startups and small businesses I speak with, I hear one common frustration. For them, it is super frustrating not being able to reliably forecast the topline. But without a process, this rollercoaster ride will continue.
Predictable sales are the key to predictable topline and hence the growth. It also makes your valuation easier to defend or arrive at. Having this process is one of the biggest assets you can have.
