DESIGN SOLUTIONS

Design the Revenue System You Need to Scale

Clarity alone doesn’t drive growth—design does. Winning by Design helps teams translate diagnostic insights into a cohesive, scalable GTM system, aligning strategy, process, and metrics across the full customer lifecycle. The result is a clear, intentional revenue architecture teams can execute against with confidence as the business grows.

When growth isn’t designed, scale creates friction

Even with strong talent and the right intentions, growth breaks down when teams don’t share a clear design for how revenue should work.

puzzle piece icon
Growth decisions get made in isolation

Teams solve problems locally—optimizing their own workflows without a shared GTM model. Over time, this creates disconnects across stages, regions, and roles, making coordination harder as the business scales.

The customer journey becomes inconsistent

Without a designed lifecycle, customers experience different processes, messaging, and expectations depending on who they interact with. What feels manageable early on turns into confusion, friction, and lost trust at scale.

Metrics multiply, but clarity disappears

As teams grow, so do dashboards. Without a designed measurement system, leaders track activity instead of progress, struggle to see tradeoffs, and lose confidence in what performance actually means.

Execution depends on people instead of structure

When systems aren’t designed, success relies on individual judgment and institutional memory. Progress slows as new hires ramp, leaders change, or pressure increases—because the system itself can’t absorb growth.

Turn complexity into a system your teams can execute

Through a structured, science-based design approach, we translate strategy into clear operating models: aligned metrics, defined handoffs, and shared standards for what “good” looks like. The result is a system your teams can follow, leaders can trust, and growth can scale—before pressure exposes the cracks.

Design Solutions

Design Solutions

Advisor-led engagements that address data, process, methodology, and enablement gaps by turning proven frameworks like the Bowtie and SPICED into operational systems that unify your GTM organization.

Bowtie Data Model

Unify your GTM data into a single, trusted source of truth that powers visibility and alignment across the entire revenue engine. With consistent metrics and dashboards, leaders make faster, data-backed decisions that accelerate predictable growth.

SPICED Operating Model

Embed a common language that connects every customer conversation to measurable impact. Teams sell, serve, and forecast using the same framework—driving higher win rates, retention, and coaching consistency.

GTM Process Design

Redesign your go-to-market motions to eliminate friction and scale execution. Standardized processes create clarity across roles and functions, improving conversion, accountability, and efficiency from lead to renewal.

Enablement Accelerator

Transform fragmented training into a structured enablement system that proves measurable results. With defined milestones, certifications, and reviews, your teams ramp faster, perform consistently, and sustain behavior change over time.

Your Path to Scalable System Design

Phase 1: Problem Framing

  • Clarify the specific growth problem to solve (not symptoms or opinions)
  • Align stakeholders on scope, constraints, and success criteria
  • Ground decisions in data, customer reality, and GTM context
  • Separate what must be designed now from what can wait

Outcome: A clearly defined problem statement and shared understanding of what “good” looks like before design begins.

 

Phase 2: System Design

  • Design the GTM system required to solve the problem (flows, roles, handoffs, metrics)
  • Define how value is delivered across stages, motions, and segments
  • Establish standards that guide execution without over-prescription
  • Pressure-test design decisions against real-world scenarios

Outcome: A complete, execution-ready design—documented, aligned, and grounded in how teams actually work.

 

Phase 3: Execution Readiness

  • Translate design into clear guidance teams can act on immediately
  • Identify dependencies, risks, and change considerations before rollout
  • Define what needs to be enabled, trained, or reinforced during execution
  • Ensure leaders and operators understand how to use the design—not reinterpret it

Outcome: Teams leave with a system they can confidently deploy, not a strategy deck that stalls in implementation.

For CEOs

You’re accountable for growth — but often without a clear, shared view of what’s actually driving (or limiting) it.

  • Gain a system-level view of how revenue is really generated across the business
  • Replace opinion-driven debates with evidence-backed priorities
  • Align executives around a single growth narrative investors can trust
  • Reduce execution risk before committing major capital or headcount
  • Move forward with confidence instead of compounding uncertainty

For CROs

You own the number — but the system supporting it is often fragmented, inconsistent, or misaligned.

  • Design a unified revenue operating system across sales, success, and RevOps

  • Eliminate execution gaps caused by siloed motions and unclear standards

  • Align pipeline, conversion, and capacity decisions to real constraints

  • Reduce forecast volatility before scaling teams or territories

  • Lead revenue with confidence knowing the system supports the target

 

cro icon

For CFOs

You’re accountable for growth efficiency — but often without clear visibility into what’s driving returns versus waste.

  • Gain a clear, system-level view of revenue efficiency and risk

  • Replace reactive spend decisions with evidence-backed prioritization

  • Identify where capital, headcount, and tooling are under- or over-invested

  • Reduce forecast risk before approving scale initiatives

  • Support growth with confidence — grounded in data, not assumptions

 

cfo icon

For CMOs

You’re expected to drive pipeline impact — yet often without alignment to downstream execution.

  • Design demand and pipeline flows that reflect how revenue is actually won

  • Eliminate friction between marketing, sales, and customer success handoffs

  • Align success metrics to revenue outcomes — not activity volume

  • Create shared definitions of “quality” across the funnel

  • Invest with confidence knowing marketing is designed into the revenue system

 

cmo icon

For Rev Ops / GTM Ops

You’re responsible for enabling scale — but often without authority to fix what’s broken.

  • Design the operating model teams need to execute consistently

  • Align metrics, processes, and tooling to business impact — not dashboards

  • Eliminate downstream fire drills caused by upstream design gaps

  • Create clarity leaders can act on — without constant rework

  • Move from reactive enablement to system ownership

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Winning by Design’s Design solutions?

Design solutions are focused on designing the go-to-market systems teams need before execution begins. We work with leaders to define how their GTM should operate end to end—aligning strategy, roles, processes, metrics, and handoffs into a clear, execution-ready system. Design solutions are focused on ensuring data consistency, establishing clear GTM processes, establishing a consistent operating model, and empowering org-wide enablement.

Design engagements produce durable, executive-ready artifacts that teams can confidently deploy, ensuring execution starts from clarity rather than assumptions.

Who are these offerings best suited for?

Our Design offerings are built for executive and revenue leaders (CEOs, CROs, CMOs, CFOs, and RevOps) at scaling SaaS companies who need clarity, alignment, and a shared system before investing further in execution.

How is a Design engagement different from a Diagnose engagement?

Diagnostics identify what is broken and why. Design engagements take those insights and turn them into a clear operating model — defining how teams should work, what “good” looks like, and how success will be measured before execution begins.

What problems does a Design engagement help solve?

Our Design solutions help eliminate misalignment, inconsistent execution, reactive playbooks, unclear ownership, and growth strategies that rely on tribal knowledge rather than systems teams can actually run.

What is included in a Design engagement?

Design engagements include:

  • Expert-led system design
  • Cross-functional design workshops
  • Executive-ready system artifacts
  • Outcome-aligned implementation guidance

How long does a Design engagement last?

Design engagements vary based on scope and offerings, but most include:

  • An initial activation phase

  • A period of live design support and reinforcement

  • Ongoing assessment to ensure adoption and consistency

The focus is not speed alone, but durable systems and processes that doesn’t regress.

Are these “done-for-you” engagements?

No. Design engagements are done-with-you. Your leaders and teams actively participate in designing the system so it’s practical, adopted, and sustainable — not something that lives in a slide deck.

How does Winning by Design ensure cross-functional alignment?

Design engagements bring sales, marketing, customer success, RevOps, and executives into shared working sessions — aligning on definitions, metrics, tradeoffs, and priorities so teams operate from one system.

What outcomes should we expect from a Design engagement?

Clients typically gain clarity, executive alignment, defined operating standards, improved decision quality, and a clear roadmap for predictable, repeatable growth — before major execution investments are made.

How do Design solutions support financial efficiency and ROI?

By defining priorities, sequencing initiatives, and clarifying what not to do, we reduce wasted spend, misallocated headcount, and execution risk — helping leaders invest with confidence.

Can Design solutions work alongside existing tools or methodologies?

Yes. Design engagements integrate with your existing tech stack, data, and tools, while replacing fragmented methodologies with a unified operating system teams can follow consistently.

Are Design solutions suitable for global or distributed teams?

Absolutely. Our Design solutions are built to support distributed organizations and global teams, ensuring alignment across regions, roles, and growth stages.

How much does a Design engagement cost?

Design engagements start at $80K, depending on scope, company size, and pathway selection.

How do we know if this the right next step for us?

If your teams are executing hard but results feel inconsistent, misaligned, or overly reactive — Design is often the right step before investing more in hiring, tooling, or enablement.
