Revenue operations for mid-market B2B

Your revenue team is flying blind. Your engineers are booked until 2028. I fix both.

Higginson Advisory modernizes revenue operations for mid-market firms in manufacturing, logistics, SaaS, financial services, and beyond. Assessment first, then working systems in production in weeks. Not a strategy deck. Not a software recommendation. Systems.

The symptoms

You already know the symptoms.

The CRM nobody trusts.

The records are duplicated, stale, and filled in the night before pipeline review. Every report starts with an argument about whether the numbers are real.

Outbound as a hobby.

Reps prospect when their pipeline gets scary, from lists they built themselves, through email infrastructure nobody is watching. Volume is random. Deliverability is luck.

Forecasting by feel.

The forecast is a spreadsheet and a gut. It has never been reconciled against the financials, and every quarter ends with a surprise nobody can explain.

These aren't three problems. They're one problem, a revenue engine stuck at a specific maturity stage, and the fix depends entirely on which stage.

The difference

Most consultants leave a deck. I leave running systems.

Every mid-market company has five processes running on spreadsheets that should be systems, and no path to getting them built. The vendors don't sell them and the engineering backlog is measured in years. AI-assisted development changed that math. I design, build, and deploy production revenue systems in weeks, alone, without touching your engineering queue.

The framework

The five stages of a revenue engine.

Nearly every operational complaint is a symptom of being stuck at a specific stage. Most failed RevOps investments are correct solutions applied at the wrong stage. The model scores your engine across six dimensions, because the weakest dimension caps the value of all the others.

The turning point. The CRM is trusted because it is the system of work. Activity is captured as it happens, stage criteria are enforced, dashboards answer basic questions truthfully. Most companies believe they are here. Most are at Stage 2 with dashboards.

Most firms discover they are a stage lower than they thought. Read the full framework → Take the self-assessment →

Where does your engine actually stand?

Twelve questions, two per dimension, three minutes. No email gate. Answer for how the company works on a normal Tuesday, not how the process docs say it works. Your answers never leave your browser, and you can download your profile as a PDF when you finish.
