Do you have any portfolio companies that are not meeting expectations?

Of course, you do. No matter how strong your portfolio is, there always seems to be a company or two that is not performing as projected.

What went wrong?

In our experience, poor market performance is caused by one or a combination of the following issues...

The wrong people

  • Inexperienced marketing people in key roles
  • Non-marketing people in marketing roles
  • Marketing people that are a bad culture fit for technical companies

Working on the wrong activities

  • Poorly documented and inconsistent processes
  • Tactics without strategy
  • Poorly defined marketing fundamentals
  • Lack of sales process

Using the wrong tools

  • Low performing website
  • Inappropriate sales tools
  • Lack of sales transparency (no CRM/MAS or not using CRM/MAS in a disciplined way)

This all translates into poor marketing performance:

  • Poor brand awareness
  • Lack of solid lead pipeline
  • Deals that take longer than anticipated to close or never close
  • Commoditization of offerings and increased price sensitivity
