Maximizing Sales Effectiveness with
Equity Investors’ Portfolio Companies

Braveheart Sales Performance Takes a Data-driven, Holistic Approach, with an ROI focus.

While it’s important to get your portfolio companies generating sales, it may be difficult to really know how much more effective a team could be, or even if we have the right people in the right places to achieve the sales goals that are set in motion. Our data-driven process not only answers these questions, but also helps close any gaps within your sales environment that may be holding up the speed at which a company can grow its sales. We can accurately calculate the upside potential of the team and the team members and every action we recommend will be based on achieving an acceptable ROI.

Symptoms your portfolio companies may be experiencing …

Frustrated by insufficient revenue growth
Not owning your fair share of the market place
Poor closing ratios

HOW does this process work? Great question!

Step 1: We start with a deep dive analysis that will look under the hood to see what’s going on in a specific sales environment
