Growth isn't about tactics, it's about systems. A growth machine consists of 6 interconnecting parts. Explore the free resources here, or learn the full system in my B2B course.
Get a grip on what's actually working and what needs course correction. Use data and experiments to make decisions instead of opinions. See how changes in one part of the system affect everything else. Random tactics don't compound, coordinated ones do.
Meet Random Rick, Specialist Steve and Solid Sarah. See three approaches to growth and why only one compounds. Understand the model that shows how improvements multiply. Apply systematic thinking to double revenue.

Without clear strategy, every tactic feels like a guess. Define who you're for, what problem you solve, and how each touchpoint moves them closer to buying. Turn scattered efforts into a coherent system where marketing, sales, and product pull in the same direction.

Strategy without tracking becomes wishful thinking. Build a rhythm that spots problems early, doubles down on what works, and keeps the team aligned on priorities. Turn data into decisions and decisions into momentum.

Random experiments waste time and budget. A structured framework ensures every test teaches you something, even when it fails. Decide what to test, design experiments properly, analyse results accurately, and share learnings so the whole team gets smarter.

Build a solid foundation that won't collapse when you scale. Single source of truth. Tools that talk to each other. Systems that give you visibility into what's working and what's not. Without this, you're flying blind and everything breaks when you try to grow.
The wrong tools waste money and create friction. The right tools compound productivity. Avoid vendor promises and feature bloat. Choose what actually fits your workflow, integrates cleanly, and grows with you.

A poorly configured CRM becomes a graveyard of stale data and missed follow-ups. A properly set up CRM runs your sales process automatically, surfaces hot leads, and forecasts revenue accurately.

Manual lead management breaks at scale. Automation captures every lead, scores them by intent, and keeps them warm until they're ready to buy all whilst you sleep.

Broken tracking means flying blind. Proper implementation shows exactly which traffic converts, which campaigns deliver ROI, and where to double down. Measurement makes optimisation possible.

Your website, email flows, and remarketing all work together like a mousetrap. Build clear landing pages that convert, automation that nurtures leads, and a machine that drives discovery calls without you chasing people. Stop leaking leads halfway through.
Most customer research produces vague observations that sit in slides nobody reads. Proper research uncovers specific pain points, validates assumptions, and reveals what actually drives buying decisions. Learn to run research that produces actionable insights, not just interesting quotes.

Most B2B websites confuse visitors instead of guiding them. Clear structure helps buyers self-educate, compare solutions, and decide to engage. Build pages that answer questions, establish credibility, and make taking the next step obvious.
See playbook

Your sales pipeline works exactly like a marketing funnel, you just need to know how to optimise it. Build the assets that help your team close: proposals that win, workflows that keep deals moving, and materials that answer objections before they kill opportunities.
Most sales processes are cobbled together inconsistent stages, unclear handoffs, and no visibility into what's working. A proper process turns chaos into predictability. Define stages that match how buyers actually decide, automate the busywork, and track metrics that reveal bottlenecks before deals stall.
See playbook
Proposals sent via email disappear into inboxes. You don't know if they've been opened, which sections were read, or whether pricing scared them off. Proposal software tracks engagement, automates generation from CRM data, and shows exactly where prospects get stuck so you can follow up intelligently.
See playbook
Sales reps need more than a pitch deck. They need email templates that don't sound robotic, case studies that prospects recognise themselves in, calculators that quantify ROI, and videos that explain complex value quickly. Build the collateral that makes selling easier.

Acquiring customers is expensive. Keeping them is where margins improve. What would happen if none of your customers left? Build feedback loops, long-term relationships, retention programmes that reduce churn, and upsell frameworks that grow account value without being pushy.
Most churn happens in the first 90 days when customers don't see value fast enough. Strong onboarding proves value early. Feedback loops surface problems before they become cancellations. Health monitoring spots at-risk accounts. Make retention systematic, not reactive.

Acquiring new customers is expensive. Growing existing ones is profitable. Identify expansion opportunities from usage patterns and needs. Design clear upsell paths that feel natural, not pushy. Time offers to renewal cycles and milestones. Structure pricing that enables growth.

Most B2B companies run tactics in isolation. They test ads, tweak emails, or optimise landing pages without understanding how everything connects. The result? Short-term spikes that don't compound. A growth machine is different. When you fix one part of the system, the improvement flows through the entire funnel. Small gains multiply. Growth becomes predictable.

12 metrics feed the 4 engines above and, taken together, set revenue. Whether you're aware of them or not, these numbers already run your funnel.
Think of them as a world map of growth: with this overview, it's much easier to find your way through B2B growth. Many of the 1,500 marketers I've trained, tell me the model helps them to get an overview of growth.
Lift all 12 metrics with 10% and something magical happens: the results don't just add up (120%), but they multiply (214%). In simple terms: you get growth for free.
This is called compound growth. This is the same as compound interest on your savings account. Even Einstein admired it's power:
Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't, pays it.
