What does Revenue-Oriented Marketing Direction address?

It organizes decisions at the handoffs between Marketing and Sales, where opportunities can lack clear ownership. The work looks at the customer base, quotes, and lost accounts to define next steps and owners.

Which teams need to participate?

Management, Marketing, and Sales need to take part because each sees a different part of the decision. The service brings those views together instead of leaving the handoff between them unowned.

What role does Prebound™ play in the service?

Prebound™ organizes the context of the company, its customers, and its market between meetings. It supports the evidence review that informs decisions throughout the cycle.

How does the work measure change?

The cycle compares what happened with a commercial baseline established before the work moves forward. Measurement replaces impressions with an agreed reference for accounts, frequency, recency, and quote-to-order conversion.

What are the Base, Cycle, and Coverage plans?

Base focuses on the current customer portfolio through retention and expansion. Cycle addresses all five boundary questions, while Coverage maps the addressable market using ABM logic.

Is the service suitable for a company seeking a one-off action?

It is not the best fit for isolated actions. The offering works as a recurring cycle of deciding, acting, measuring, and correcting.

Does this service work for distributors and manufacturers?

Yes, with different applications for each commercial context. Distributors deal with portfolios, mix, and represented brands, while manufacturers also face technical approval, technical sales, and channel commitments.

Marketing doesn't end when the lead reaches Sales.

The biggest revenue losses happen at the boundary between Marketing and Sales, where no one has clearly defined responsibilities.

01What It Is

Revenue-Oriented Marketing Direction

Intelligence and continuous direction of marketing and sales to identify where revenue opportunities exist, where they are being lost, and what the company should do about it.

Every month, we bring Management, Marketing, and Sales together in a Smarketing Meeting to transform data and evidence from the business itself into decisions. Prebound™ keeps organized the context of the company, its customers, and the market. PDCA transforms those decisions into a continuous cycle of action, measurement, and correction.

02The Five Questions

The five questions of the boundary

Five different questions with the same answer: "Nobody, in a systematic way."

Marketing generates interest. Who decides if this account goes to nurturing or to the salesperson's phone today?
The budget is sent. Who tracks if it was opened, if it became a purchase order, and what to do when it doesn't?
A customer who bought regularly stopped buying. Who notices, and how fast?
A large account buys from one line and could buy from three. Who identifies and who activates?
A large account was lost. Was the problem marketing, sales, logistics, or pricing? Who sits with everyone to decide if it's worth fixing?

03How It Works

The cycle in practice

The cycle is: See → Understand → Decide → Act → Measure → Correct → ↻

What improves: Acquisition → Conversion → Recurrence → Expansion.

Each cycle brings clarity to decisions that would otherwise remain unresolved or unmade.

04Prebound™

What is Prebound™

Prebound™ is our proprietary methodology for organizing and modeling a company's revenue context.

It structures three layers: what you know about your market, what you know about your customers, and what you know about your own business.

For details, see The Prebound Method.

05Smarketing Meeting

What happens in a Smarketing Meeting

A monthly meeting with clear agenda, clear decisions, and clearly defined responsibilities for each action. This is where the decisions that matter actually get made.

Agenda

Review of previous decisions and their impact.
Read data and evidence from the business.
Decisions on the five boundary questions. Who does what.
Define owner and next step.

06The Plans

Scope and investment

What varies between plans is how much of the implementation we assume. The quality of intelligence never varies.

Base

Current customer portfolio. Expansion and retention within existing customers.

★ Cycle (Recommended)

All five boundary questions: opportunity routing, budget tracking, retention monitoring, account expansion, lost account recovery.

Coverage

Entire addressable market mapped using ABM logic. Not just current customers but accounts you should target.

All include the monthly Smarketing Meeting, Prebound™, and PDCA. Difference is coverage depth, not decision quality.

07Who It's For

Who should use this service

For:

Companies that need to decide who owns the boundaries between marketing and sales.
