Why Partner With Quick Start Strategies?

We provide a proven platform delivered to hundreds of companies over the past 10 years that highlights how the right revenue intelligence aligned to your unique sales process delivers sustainable revenue performance.  

Most companies have an ocean of data and a desert of insights. At QSS, we deliver an AI-enabled platform that applies revenue intelligence to every opportunity in your pipeline. This enables you to make better, more informed decisions to optimize both near-term revenue performance, and long-term revenue sustainability. Our modern approach focuses on the three critical areas of revenue decision making:
Quick Start Strategies
Quality of Pipeline
Quick Start Strategies
Quality of Platform

Quality of Execution

Our Core Solutions

Quicker insights. Quicker outcomes. Quicker value.

Quality of Pipeline

Step one to improving revenue decision intelligence is delivered by applying our AI-enabled REVENUE-analyzer application to uncover the true quality of your existing sales pipeline. REVENUE-analyzer  assesses all opportunities you have won or lost over the past 4-to-8 quarters to determine which market segments, solution attributes, performance metrics, and behavioral metrics drive your sales success. It can be fine-tuned to account for key marketing and sales initiatives that are part of your go-to-market strategy. Additionally, based on more than 10 years of data accumulated across hundreds of companies, REVENUE-analyzer quickly identifies any suspect, bad, or missing data across your pipeline. The output from REVENUE-analyzer establishes your unique optimal opportunity profile (OOP) that we overlay on your existing pipeline to identify those specific process improvements required to ensure sustainable revenue performance.

Quality of Platform

The next step is to ensure your CRM platform is the only source of truth, not the ethereal ‘single source of truth.’ This Quality of Platform step is achieved by implementing REVENUE-analyzer (available on the AppExchange) into your existing Salesforce.com instance to pinpoint by sales stages those opportunities that are, and are not, aligned to your unique OOP. REVENUE-analyzer  includes a suite of dashboards and reports that provide real-time insights and early warning signals into the:
     
- health of your business
- health of your sales process, and
- health of your team.

Quality of Execution

The final step is to leverage the diagnostics provided by REVENUE-analyzer against each opportunity in your sales pipeline. This step identifies misalignment to your established OOP, and those proactive steps that can be taken to drive revenue performance, predictability, and insights. QSS works with your sales teams to identify those corrective actions that will optimize sales success. This includes delivery of the tools and hands-on training required to deliver consistent and sustainable opportunity execution.
