The Scientific Models that Govern Recurring Revenue
Business Model
Recurring revenue business models operate on an arc between two extremes: ‘pay upfront’ versus consumption-based. Each point along the arc has implications for sales cycle, win rate, level of risk, and GTM motions.
Data Model
The modern Data Model for recurring revenue is represented as a bowtie, aligning all Revenue capabilities with a consistent set of metrics.
Mathematical Model
The Mathematical Model shows that growth in a recurring revenue business is based not on linear mathematical principles, but on exponential arithmetic.
Go To Market Model
GTM models of Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success are aligned based on number of deals per year and ACV, in order to deliver the best customer experience at the right cost to serve.
Growth Model
Use this model to develop an understanding of what stage a business is in, and at what point it should move to the next stage to accelerate growth and scale.
Operating Model
One consistent Operating Model across Sales, Marketing, and Customer success unites all Revenue teams with a shared language, way of working, and methodology.
