The Predictable Pipeline How Growth-Oriented Companies Deliver Repeatable, Scalable, and Profitable Marketing-Driven Results
Too many companies face a roller coaster of inconsistent sales results, often accelerated by ineffective or random acts of marketing as well as unsustainable fire drills, short-term thinking, and a lack of a solid foundation for profitable, predictable growth. What may have worked in the company’s earlier stages isn’t working now, and the “growth hacking” mindset just leads to inconsistency, more burnout, bad morale, and too-often missed objectives. What’s more, marketing’s role and impact in driving sustainable sales growth is nebulous, where at best marketers aren’t able to measure their true impact, and at worst they’re still just acting like the arts and crafts department.
