Does your Dubai business need part-time commercial and revenue leadership?

This assessment evaluates six areas of commercial and revenue leadership, framed for the constraints and growth ambitions of Dubai SMEs.

Start the assessment

What this assessment looks at

01

Revenue Ownership & Strategy

Who owns revenue beyond the founder, how pricing is structured, and whether your commercial strategy can scale without one person.

02

Sales & Marketing Alignment

Whether your teams share growth-related goals, qualified lead definitions, and a unified funnel that converts more of your existing acquisition spend.

03

Pipeline & Revenue Operations

CRM discipline, pipeline stage clarity, conversion tracking, and forecasting models that make revenue predictable.

04

Commercial Growth & GTM

How effectively you go to market with new offerings, your ICP definition, and whether you compete on value rather than price.

05

Customer Retention & Expansion

Net revenue retention, structured upsell processes, and proactive churn management to maximise the value of existing customers.

06

Revenue Reporting & Accountability

Cadence and quality of commercial reporting, KPI accountability, and board-level visibility into your commercial engine.
