The numbers are staggering: Human knowledge work: • $30-300 per hour • 3:1 efficiency ratio • $90-900 effective cost per output hour AI knowledge work: • $2-20 per hour • 1:1 efficiency ratio • $2-20 effective cost per output hour By 2025, AI will deliver knowledge work at 1/50th the cost of human effort. But here's what most miss: This isn't just about cost savings - it's about reinvesting those savings into strategic growth initiatives.

📊 The Power of Methodology Adoption: Real Results from 50,000 Sales Opportunities A study analyzing thousands of salespeople and 50,000 sales opportunities over six months reveals the transformative impact of adopting a structured methodology. Here’s what the data shows: ✨ Opportunities with 100% SPICED completion (our structured methodology) experienced a 10% increase in win rate. 🌟 Individual contributors who consistently completed SPICED achieved an impressive 29% higher quota attainment compared to the average. 💰 This focus on methodology drove $19M in new ARR, delivering a 9X ROI in just 6 months and a projected 48X ROI over 5 years (LTV) from new business alone. This is a clear reminder: adoption matters. When teams commit to a proven methodology, the results aren’t just incremental—they’re exponential. What’s stopping your team from embracing this kind of structure and seeing these results? Make it happen in one of our upcoming courses (all built upon the SPICED methodology). 📆 Upcoming Courses: For Revenue Leaders:  - Revenue Architecture (full course, or 1-session, or self-paced) - Bowtie Analytics - Insight Engineering For SDRs: - Prospecting for Impact - Prospecting into Enterprise Accounts For AEs: - Selling for Impact - Selling into Enterprise Accounts For CSMs:  - Customer Success for Impact - Account Management for Growth For Managers: - Managing for Impact - Managing for Leadership For Enablement: - Facilitator Certification + 2 quick-hitting skills courses built around discovery and storytelling. 👉 Limited seats available.

“Unlock the Secrets to Sustainable Growth: How to Leverage AI in 2025” Join Winning by Design Chairman, Dave Boyce, at this year’s Pavilion CEO Summit (Jan. 22-23 in New Orleans) for this executive-level, hyper-relevant session. ––– Recent research indicates 41 of 72 public SaaS companies are underperforming post-IPO due to inefficient Go-to-Market (GTM) strategies. The bad are getting worse, but the good are getting better. Why? Meanwhile, the valuation of public and private companies alike is driven by growth, which correlates 2.5x more strongly with valuation than profitability. So we have to get back to growth–the markets demand it. And we have to do it sustainably. We can’t do the same thing we’ve done in the past. So how do we solve this? In this session, we will unpack the data and explore how Revenue Architecture lays the foundation for sustainable, efficient growth. 🔑 Key takeaways: ● GTM Efficiency Metrics: Examine the investor-level metrics that predict IPO success ● Revenue Architecture: Look at fundamental operating metrics and frameworks that describe success for operating teams ● Real-world Case Studies: Learn how AI-accelerated GTM can get teams back to growth with unprecedented efficiency Don't miss this opportunity to transform your growth trajectory!

🔎 Driving GTM Efficiency: A Case Study At Winning by Design, we love seeing our frameworks come to life in the real world! Here's a quick look at how a mid-sized SaaS company turned chaos into clarity: ⭕ Situation: A mid-sized SaaS company faced challenges with its Go-To-Market strategy. Attempting to operate across multiple GTM motions—self-serve product-led and dedicated enterprise sales—led to inefficiencies and misalignment between marketing, sales, and customer success teams. 🔴 Pain: The lack of a cohesive strategy resulted in: - Overextended resources with unclear ROI - Complex processes that confused teams and customers - Disjointed collaboration across teams These issues diluted the company’s focus, slowed their ability to scale, and hindered both sales acceleration and customer success. 🟢 Impact: By adopting Winning by Design's GTM framework, the company streamlined their approach, consolidating efforts into two motions: 1️⃣ Low Touch: for high-volume leads 2️⃣ High Touch: for strategic accounts The results? 🚀 30% increased efficiency in lead conversion 🤝 Stronger collaboration and resource alignment 📈 Improved retention, faster time-to-value, and scalable growth The key takeaways? Carefully selecting and refining your GTM motions can dramatically boost efficiency and effectiveness, setting the stage for sustainable growth. #GTMStrategy #RevenueArchitecture #RevenueFactory #CaseStudy
