The Sales Org Teardown

Find out exactly where your sales org is leaking. In writing.

A two-to-three-week evaluation of three things: your sales force, your process, and how it's managed. We pull the real numbers, name the two or three leaks costing you the most pipeline, and hand you a written teardown plus a live readout. Ten thousand dollars, flat. It commits you to nothing after.

Two to three weeks. · Written teardown plus a live readout. · No engagement required after.

Where this fits

The paid front door. Before you buy anything bigger.

The free 45-minute diagnostic is a conversation. The Teardown is the deep version of it, in writing, for founders who want the actual numbers before they commit to a Build, a Video engine, Training, or to nothing at all.

It's deliberately decoupled from the rest. The strongest thing we can sometimes hand you is "your process is sound, don't spend the money on us." We'd rather tell you that on a teardown than have you discover it three months into a Build.

You can't fix a number you've never measured. the premise of the whole engagement

What we examine

Three lenses. One picture.

The name is literal. We take apart the sales force, the process, and the management layer separately, then show you where they disagree with each other.

The sales force

The people doing the selling. We measure selling-time percentage, live selling divided by total hours, against the line where an AE is in trouble. We find the hours going to work below their pay grade, the ramp that never finished, and the seat that's mis-cast rather than under-coached.

The process

The pipeline they run. Cost per qualified meeting, stage-by-stage conversion, and where deals sit for 21 days with no activity. We pull your last twenty closed-lost deals and find the objections that actually kill them, because two-thirds of the time it's the same three, repeating.

Management

The system around them. Forecast accuracy, pipeline coverage against quota, and whether the comp plan rewards the behavior you say you want. We look at the numbers leadership watches every week, and the ones that would have told you the truth sooner.

The output

The numbers most teardowns skip.

Every figure comes out of your own data. We show the formula next to the number, so you can argue with it on the readout and re-run it yourself after we leave.

Cost per qualified meeting

What a single qualified meeting actually costs once you load rep time, tools, and agency spend into it.

Sales-side CAC and payback

Cost per closed-won, and how many months of gross margin it takes to earn it back, benchmarked to your deal size.

Selling-time percentage

Live selling hours divided by total hours. Below 35% for an AE is a red flag, and most founders are surprised by the real figure.

Annual cost of non-selling time

Non-selling hours priced out across the whole team for a year. This is usually the number that ends the meeting.

Objection kill rate

For each recurring objection, the share of deals it kills. It tells you which two to train around first.

Win-rate sensitivity

What a five-point win-rate lift is worth on your current meeting volume. The size of the prize, in dollars.

What you get

  • A written teardown. One page of diagnosis, backed by the full model. Not a 40-slide deck nobody reads.
  • The leaks, ranked by dollars. The two or three that cost the most, not the ones that are easiest to fix.
  • A recommended plan. Which may be a Build, one stage of it, Training, or a fix you run yourself with no further spend.
  • A live 90-minute readout with you and your head of sales, where you're allowed to push back on every number.
  • The raw model. You keep it and re-run it next quarter.

What this isn't

  • A six-month strategy retainer. It's two to three weeks, then it's done.
  • A generic benchmark report. Every number in it is yours.
  • A performance review to justify firing someone. We diagnose the system, not the people.
  • A sales pitch in a trench coat. Sometimes the honest finding is that you don't need us.
  • A subscription. You pay once, ten thousand, full stop.

How it runs

Two to three weeks, start to readout.

Data and interviews

Week 1. Read-only access to your CRM for the last four quarters, plus 30 minutes with each rep. Reps, not just managers, because rep time is the most lied-about set of numbers in any pipeline.

Analysis

Week 2. We build the model, run the formulas, and stress-test the story until the founder and the head of sales would both either sign it or fight it.

The readout

Week 2 to 3. Ninety minutes, live. We walk the teardown, name the leaks, and hand over the model and the recommended plan.

"Matt showed a few bottlenecks and growth opportunities that were very valuable. Overall experience is beyond my initial expectations and worth every penny invested."

Pricing & fit

$10,000. One number. Sometimes the finding is "do nothing."

Ten thousand dollars, paid up front, for the full two-to-three-week evaluation. No retainer, no per-interview unbundling, no required engagement on the back end. You walk away with the teardown and the model whether or not you ever work with us again.

When this is the wrong call

  • You're under $5M with no real sales team yet. There isn't enough of an org to take apart. Start with the free diagnostic.
  • You already know your numbers cold and just want execution. Skip the teardown and book the call.
  • You want it as ammunition to fire a rep. This is a diagnosis of the system, not a case file on a person.
  • You can't give us honest data or time with the reps. The teardown is only as good as the inputs, and we won't dress up a guess.
  • Your sales motion is transactional (under $2K order value, single-call close). The math is built for multi-step B2B deals.

Start with the free call. We'll tell you if the Teardown is the right next step.

The 45-minute diagnostic is free and the same call no matter what you end up buying. If a full teardown is overkill for where you are, we'll say so on that call.
