The 90-Day Value Sprint

Budgets are tight, scrutiny is high. The fastest wins this year come from fixing where dollars stall—not from bigger headcount or endless diagnostics. Our 90-day pattern focuses on 3–5 levers that move cash and capacity quickly.

The 90-Day Pattern (Timeline Layout)

Weeks 0–1 — Outcome Lock-In

Pick one measurable outcome (e.g., shorten quote-to-cash by 10 days).


Agree on simple R/Y/G dashboard before kickoff.

Weeks 2–4 — Friction Map

Trace where value leaks: lead→opportunity, quote→cash, ticket→resolution.


Instrument only 3–5 signals that matter.

Weeks 5–8 — Interventions

Tighten pipeline rules & handoffs.


Standardize pricing/approvals + e-sign.


Add self-serve for obvious support intents.

Weeks 9–12 — Close the Loop

Publish before/after with Finance.


Decide: scale, shelve, or swap.


Lock run-rate impact if scaling.

Three levers we’re deploying now

Pipeline rules > headcount
Define stage entry/exit, SLA handoffs, and auto-aging. Expect cleaner forecasts and faster cycle time without adding SDRs.

Quote-to-cash cleanup
Standard SKUs/pricing, auto-approval thresholds, e-sign, and invoice triggers tied to milestone completion.

Self-serve where customers want it
Route the top ten intents to guided self-serve; keep complex cases human. Measure deflection and satisfaction.

Signals to watch

  • Cycle time (lead→opportunity; quote→cash; ticket→resolution)

  • Stage conversion (by ICP) and forecast accuracy

  • First-contact resolution / deflection rate (with NPS)

  • Time-to-invoice and DSO
