Why You Need a Revenue Management Strategy
Who: Ajay Joshi, (Partner, Revenue Operations at Empirical Consulting Solutions)
What: Revenue Management is likely the least understood and most critical component of a scaleup strategy for your startup’s success. Tech entrepreneurs typically spend a disproportionate amount of time on product-feature decisions compared to commercial decisions on customer segmentation, marketing, sales, and pricing. In this talk, I will cover:
- What is Revenue Management and why it is so important for tech startups
- Elements of a successful revenue management strategy
- What RevOps skillsets do you need on your team to be successful and when to seek outside help
- What to track – Metrics that matter for a startup, technology, and tools.
- We will optionally cover a few examples from current VSG Startups.
