The problem this solves
Most companies have an ICP on a slide and a very different one in their CRM. The symptoms are familiar: sales chases anything that fills out a form, win rates swing wildly between segments nobody consciously chose, marketing celebrates lead volume that sales quietly ignores, and the deals that close fastest look nothing like the ones the strategy deck describes. Until you know who you actually win with, every downstream investment in messaging, campaigns, and territory design is guesswork.
How we work
We start with your revenue data, not a workshop. We pull closed-won and closed-lost deals from your CRM, segment them by firmographics, deal size, sales cycle length, and retention, and build a picture of where your revenue actually comes from. Then we put that picture next to your stated ICP and target market definition and document every gap.
In parallel we interview the people closest to the market: founders, sales leads, and the reps who hear objections daily. That surfaces the segments your team already avoids or favours for reasons that never made it into a strategy document.
The output is not a persona poster. It is an evidence-based read on which segments deserve focus, which are quietly draining your pipeline, and what your real ICP looks like when the data gets a vote. It feeds directly into positioning work, segmentation strategy, and territory design if you take those on next.
