Revenue and sales consulting helps you win more of the deals you already have a shot at, and forecast the ones still coming. It is for owners and small sales teams who get steady inquiries but watch too many of them go quiet after a quote or a first call. At 20xBusiness.com, we treat sales as a process you can measure, not a talent some people are born with.
Where Revenue Usually Leaks
Most businesses lose more revenue inside their sales process than they realize. The leaks tend to show up in the same places:
- Slow first response. Leads wait a day or more for a reply and move on to a competitor.
- No qualification. The team spends hours on buyers who were never a fit.
- Weak follow-up. A proposal goes out once and nobody checks in again.
- Unclear pricing. Every quote is built from scratch, so discounts creep in.
- No pipeline view. Nobody can say how much revenue is likely to close next month.
Each leak looks small on its own. Together, they can quietly hold a business at the same revenue year after year.
How the Engagement Works
Map the Current Process
We walk through how a lead becomes a customer today, step by step, using your real data. We pull the last few months of inquiries, calls, proposals and wins, then calculate the conversion rate between each stage.
Find the Biggest Drop
The stage with the steepest drop is usually where the fastest gains are. A business that wins most of its sales calls but books very few of them has a different problem from one that sends many proposals and closes few.
Fix and Test in Weekly Sprints
We change one or two things at a time: a faster response rule, a qualification checklist, a proposal template or a follow-up sequence. We track the result each week and keep what works. Our guide on how to build a predictable sales pipeline explains the stages and the weekly review we set up with you.
Turn It Into a System
Once the process holds, we document it so a new salesperson can follow it from day one. You get scripts, templates and a simple dashboard instead of a process that lives in one person’s head.
What You Get
| Deliverable | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Sales process map | Every stage from inquiry to signed deal, with owners |
| Conversion analysis | The rate between each stage and where the biggest drop is |
| Pricing and offer review | Packages, price points and discount rules |
| Follow-up system | Timing, templates and reminders for every open deal |
| Pipeline dashboard | Weighted pipeline value and expected revenue for the month |
| Weekly review format | A 30-minute agenda your team can run without us |
Pricing often turns out to be part of the fix. If quotes are built one at a time with no clear rules, we set up packages and a discount limit so every salesperson prices the same way.
How Progress Is Measured
We agree on a baseline in the first two weeks, then review the same numbers every week:
- Response time to new inquiries
- Lead-to-meeting rate
- Meeting-to-proposal rate
- Proposal close rate
- Average deal size
- Sales cycle length in days
Small gains at each stage add up, because each stage feeds the next. Results still depend on your market, your offer and how consistently the team follows the new process.
A Hypothetical Example
Consider a corporate event planning firm that sends 30 proposals a month at an average of $12,000 each and wins 6 of them, a 20% close rate. That is about $72,000 in new bookings each month.
The review shows most lost proposals were never followed up after the first email. The firm adds three follow-up touches over 10 days and a short call to walk each buyer through the proposal. If the close rate rose to about 27%, the firm would win 8 deals a month instead of 6, worth roughly $96,000, from the same number of proposals.
Nothing about the marketing changed in this example. For more ways to lift revenue from the leads you already have, read how to increase sales in a small business. If the real gap turns out to be lead volume, our marketing and brand service picks up where this one ends. The SBA also offers a free overview of marketing and sales basics for small firms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do the selling for us?
No. We design and improve the sales process, and we coach the people who sell, but your team owns the conversations with customers. That way the skills and the pipeline stay inside your business after we step back.
What if my sales team is just me?
That is common, and it is often the best time to build a process. We start by making your own selling repeatable and documented, so you can hand parts of it to a new hire later without losing deals.
Which sales tools or CRM do you recommend?
We work with whatever you already use if it does the job. A clear process matters far more than the software, and many small teams run a solid pipeline in a simple CRM or a well-kept spreadsheet at first.
