RESOURCES
The revenue intelligence layer most founder-led teams are missing
Benchmarks, diagnostics, and frameworks, all from primary research, all free.
Every resource here is field-tested, built from 15+ years of enterprise sales and RevOps leadership inside founder-led companies at your exact stage.
PLAYBOOK
The complete picture of what's working at this stage and what stalls it.
Four interactive dashboards built from 40+ primary research sources.
See exactly where your numbers stand: pipeline, win rates, channels, velocity, and the transition data most teams never have access to.
BENCHMARK DASHBOARD
GTM Channel Benchmarks
Cold email, LinkedIn, inbound, and partnerships: benchmarked specifically for founder-led B2B companies at $100K–$1.5M ARR. Covers signal stacking data, reply rate benchmarks by channel, copywriting frameworks, cadence stats, and stage-specific conversion rates. The channel intelligence layer most teams don’t have until much later.
Pipeline Quality Benchmarks
For teams with 1–5+ years of commercial headcount where activity looks healthy but quota is inconsistent. Covers ICP drift, contact data decay, lead source conversion rates by channel, and the intent signal gap that separates top performers from median performers on the same team.
Founder-Led Sales Metrics
Six metrics that tell you whether the sales motion you’ve built transfers or whether it only works when you’re personally in every deal. Covers close rate advantage by deal type, network dependency ratio, sales velocity benchmarks, and the CAC payback calculation most founders are getting wrong by not including their own time.
Founder-Led Sales Transition Benchmarks
The data on what actually happens when founders step back from sales and what separates the 30% who do it without a revenue drop from the 70% who don’t. Ramp time benchmarks, failure mode breakdown, hire sequencing, and what must be documented before any handoff.
Instant results, ungated content.
Each one gives you a score and a specific next step based on where you actually are.
ASSESSMENTS & DIAGNOSTICS
Revenue System Readiness
At $500K–$1.5M ARR, the ceiling is rarely product or market, it’s whether the motion runs without you in every deal. This 10-question diagnostic scores your foundation, market signal, and scale readiness, then gives you stage-specific next steps based on your result.
First Sales Hire Readiness
Timing the hire right matters. Hiring into an undocumented motion costs 12+ months of distraction and rarely fixes itself. This 12-question assessment scores your actual readiness across ICP clarity, process documentation, and pipeline quality — and shows exactly what to build before day one.
The detail behind the data.
For when you want to understand the problem before you solve it. These guides go beyond the numbers, covering the patterns, the failure modes, and the decisions that determine whether the next stage goes smoothly or expensively.
GUIDES
Why First Sales Hires Fail
The conditions that make a first sales hire succeed or fail are almost always set before day one. This guide covers the six patterns that cause underperformance, from undocumented ICP to founder still closing everything and what needs to exist before the hire lands.
Pipeline Reality Check
What healthy pipeline actually looks like at $100K–$1.5M ARR, and why most founder-led teams are one step-back away from flat revenue. Covers coverage benchmarks, founder dependency ratios, and three concrete actions to start building a motion that doesn’t depend on one person’s network.
