Podcast Episode 1: The Biggest Challenge for Revenue Teams

Most B2B teams lack a clear go-to-market strategy, relying on guesswork instead of data-driven forecasting. In this episode of Driving Growth, host Steve Whittington breaks down how to turn a "hopecast" into a real forecast using mathematical models.

He explores the key components of a scalable revenue strategy, including revenue models, data models, and go-to-market motions. Plus, he introduces the critical metric every CEO and CFO must understand and how to calculate it. Tune in to learn how to transform your sales and marketing from an art into a science.

Episode Takeaways:

  • Stop relying on “hopecasting.” Many B2B teams forecast revenue based on wishful thinking rather than data-driven models. A structured approach ensures predictability and scalability.
  • Understand your revenue and data models. A strong go-to-market strategy requires a clear revenue model, precise data tracking, and alignment between sales and marketing efforts.
  • Growth cost is the key metric. CEOs and CFOs must calculate and monitor growth cost—how much it takes to generate each dollar of new revenue—to optimize efficiency.
  • Turn sales and marketing into a science. By applying mathematical forecasting and structured go-to-market motions, businesses can move from inconsistent results to predictable, scalable growth.
