Do I need an MBA to join?

How to Build a Predictable Sales Pipeline. Benchmark Your Practice vs Other

Endurance Search Partners has partnered with Matt Heinz of Heinz Marketing to benchmark sales & marketing programs across Search Fund companies.

Based on our recent conversations many Search Fund CEOs are experiencing challenges building a predictable sales pipeline.

We know building a predictable, scalable flywheel for creating (and converting) sales pipeline is vital for Search Fund CEO led company’s continued growth and success.

Search CEOs --Where is your company currently strong? Where are areas for improvement, especially compared to other Search Fund companies?

Our goal is to help Search CEOs identify recommended areas for focus/improvement, plus give them best practices from others on how exactly to do it.

The quick survey is just 11 questions, Search Fund CEOs please take just a couple minutes and complete it by Wednesday, March 10th.

Here’s a link to the survey: redacted

After we have all input collected we will come back to you with a summary of results and insights.

I’d encourage you to share this survey with other Search CEOs as the more survey data we collect the more valuable the insights will be.
