What We Do
At PeerSix, our sole focus is on helping businesses create sustainable, long-term value by delighting their customers and investors at the same time. We believe that requires doing four things well: 1) identifying the right Corporate Strategy, 2) developing the right Customer Insights, 3) allocating capital to Accelerate Revenue, and 4) Tracking Value to refine operations going forward.
Corporate Strategy
Understand the drivers of enterprise value, based on where the business is in its life cycle. These value drivers provide a “North Star" when the organization allocates capital and help create flexible cost “containerization” when strategy shifts. Proper alignment to this North Star at every level of the business is critical to increasing valuation multiples and delighting your investors.
Growth-Share Diagnostic
Identify which of the three financial strategies a business should pursue
Which metrics are drivers of enterprise value
Align executives, and their incentives, on the appropriate metric
Business in a Box
Identify which capabilities need to be differentiated to execute a given financial strategy
Group capabilities into value accretive, evergreen, and non-core
“Containerize” cost structure (i.e., how does capital deployment need to shift to execute a specific financial strategy)
LRP & Budgeting
Define LRP planning process and key steps
Rank and prioritize funding requests based on value drivers & Friedman model
Recommend budgeting decisions and dependencies (i.e., necessary sequence of events)
Customer Insights
Understand how to capture value from customers. This starts with understanding customer-product fit and the unique reasons customers get value from a product. It also includes insights about their buying behaviors, expected spend, and how they want to be treated at each step in the customer journey. Delivering a tailored experience, aligned with their needs, is critical to delighting your customers.
Strategic Segmentation
Identify the purpose and key behaviors in customer segmentation
Hypothesize (and test) data attributes that predict customer behaviors
Translate data insights into usable business segmentation (i.e., not a black box model)
Support implementation into IT systems
E2E Treatment Model
Develop treatment strategies by function / journey step for each segment
Advise on segmentation analytics (incl. Expected spend, Product mix, Share of wallet, Cost to serve, Next Best Offer)
4-Dimensional Journey Map
Build out journey maps for customer, seller, partner, and deal (as-is and/or to-be)
Identify good friction (intentional, aligned to strategy) and bad friction (unintentional, misaligned)
Align journey steps with E2E Treatment Model and overall financial strategy
Revenue Acceleration
Prioritize and deploy capital to drive revenues. Understanding customers creates the list of “what” to go do, while investors determine the “priority” for when and how to go do it. Regardless of where the capital is deployed, it’s critical to remove unintentional friction in how the organization generates a return, at each step in the customer journey.
CAC Diagnostic
Identify all activities which comprise customer acquisition costs
Quantify existing CAC by segment, sales motion, and route-to-market
Recommend ideal balance between fixed and variable cost based on transaction/deal characteristics
Forecast impact on key metrics (incl. CAC / ACV, Retention Rate, Churn, Expansion Rate, Net Revenue Retention, Lifespan, LTV / CAC)
CRC Diagnostic
Quantify customer retention and service costs across the installed base
Evaluate fully-loaded CAC for existing customers (i.e., cost to serve + cost to retain and/or expand)
Identify “good” vs “bad” customers
Analyze service impact on gross margin CAC payback
Funnel Optimizer
Analyze current funnel characteristics, deal volume and size, etc. for a given segment, sales motion, and route-to-market
Define fixed vs variable CAC breakdown relative to funnel volume
Identify value leakage on marketing and sales spend
Recommend key capabilities in Marketing and Sales aligned to funnel profile
Value Realization
Confirm that deployed capital generated the intended outcomes and return. This starts with the funnel, ensuring that individual deals are aligned to the financial strategy and North Star discussed above. It also requires the right metrics across the business, and treating individual pools of deployed capital (e.g., Incentive Comp) as investments with a discreet ROI.
Good Deal Optimizer
Align on vision and objectives for deal scoring, based on Friedman model
Discuss potential deal attributes
Define “good” (i.e., scoring) for each attribute
Prioritize and rank deal attributes
Define thresholds for automated approval, exception handling, and denial
Incentive Comp Analysis
Define key business and sales objectives
Inventory available plan mechanics
Align plan mechanics and/or metrics to sales motion, role, and customer type based on industry best practices
Design future-state plan constructs
Quantify the impact of new plan constructs on sales comp spend
SaaS Metrics Blueprint
Inventory the as-is operating metrics across divisions and groups of a company
Assess utility of the current state operating metrics to make strategic and financial decisions
Prioritize/recommend metrics based on industry usage
Consolidate metrics to align decision making and simplify reporting across the org
