The signs
Growth and expansion may be creating pressure when:
- The company needs to scale quickly, enter new markets, expand offerings or accelerate marketing and sales performance.
- Growth has already happened, but the story, culture or marketing engine has not caught up.
- Sales teams describe value in different ways.
- Customers do not understand your full suite of offerings.
- Customers do not understand why you are better and different than your competitors.
- Employees struggle to explain what makes the company distinct.
- Marketing activity is increasing, but not creating the right awareness or demand.
- The business feels bigger and busier, but not clearer.
