Figures from these stations are presented in conversation, with context: starting point, period and how it was measured.

Typical starting points

The problems we see most often.

Not isolated cases, but recurring patterns from diagnoses in B2B. Names and details stay confidential.

  • The demand is there, the system around it is missing.

    Referrals create conversations, but after the first contact much is improvised: no clear path on the website, no defined next step after the meeting.

  • Many roles, no shared strategy.

    Marketing is well staffed, yet every role works on its own activities. What is missing is not people, but direction.

  • Won or lost, and nobody knows exactly why.

    Measurement is missing between marketing, sales and the offering. More budget for channels then multiplies cost rather than revenue.

Methods

Tools you can follow instead of gut feeling.

Framework

The BBC model

Brand, Business and Contact as three levels that place every measure clearly and make its effect visible.

See the approach →

Process

Seven steps from data point to decision

Capture, contextualise, analyse, assess, decide, execute, learn, with clearly assigned roles.

See the system →

Governance

Decision logic

Every automated action has a reason, a threshold and a named human fallback.
