THE QUALITY OF REVENUE ASSESSMENT

Brainheart Growth specializes in conducting proprietary "Quality of Revenue" (QoR) assessments that facilitate strategy execution and enable more consistent achievement of revenue goals. The QoR assessment is used by investors and company management to enrich due diligence and develop better playbooks to drive organic growth and value creation.

IDENTIFY GAPS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO UNLOCK REVENUE GROWTH

Quality of Revenue (QoR) is an assessment of a company's intangible assets that are critical to revenue generation.

The QoR is a proprietary benchmark of 50 key capabilities on how companies operate, covering culture, strategy, human capital, sales practices, customer focus, business process, business ops & risk, product, marketing, revenue tech and data, pricing, and revenue operations. The QoR assessment prioritizes the highest ROI action areas and the outcome-oriented playbook deliverables enable execution - an area where many companies struggle even if they have the right strategy. QoR offers a fact-based evaluation on achieving future revenue targets, identifies key challenges, and suggests specific actions to enhance performance to help management and investors realize a business's full growth potential.

#2. Disjointed Management of Growth Resources
Organizations often face difficulties due to the fractured management of growth resources across functions like marketing, sales, and customer success. Lack of cross-functional information sharing and alignment significantly impacts revenue potential and financial forecasting.

#3. Lack of Reporting of Intangible Commercial Assets
The difficulty in measuring, managing, and reporting intangible commercial assets like brand, customer data, and digital channels hampers revenue and margin growth analysis. Despite their proven impact on firm value, these assets aren't typically included in financial reporting or Quality of Earnings analyses.

#4. The Limitations of Quality of Earnings Analysis
QofE often overlooks forward-looking revenue pipelines, long-term contract potential, and intangible assets critical for growth. This gap in QofE makes it challenging to accurately value a firm's future revenue and growth potential.

READY TO ACCELERATE THE VALUE OF YOUR PORTFOLIO?

For investors, owners, and managers, accurately assessing a company's potential for sustainable revenue growth and meeting financial targets is essential. Organic revenue growth is key to business value and directly relates to future cash flows. In today's market, affected by rising interest rates and intense competition, the focus is less on financial engineering and more on a company's inherent ability to generate cash flows. Businesses that can consistently grow revenues organically are valued much higher than those focusing solely on cost-cutting or financial maneuvers.
