It's Halloween, and I couldn't resist making another bold statement: in most cases, building a business case to prove return on investment in a sales campaign is just: a bunch of Hocus Pocus. Many scale-ups have learned and developed a sales process with critical stages, one of which is often: proving the ROI.

Most successful entrepreneurs are driven by a single mantra: “I’ve gotta sell more product.” Taken in the “corporate” context, that sentence can evoke images of faceless companies steamrolling everyone to push a few more units out the door — and into this quarter’s earnings report.

It’s 2021, and many companies have already hired a Chief Revenue Officer. But, for most startups and scale-ups, the notion of revenue is still all about having a well-oiled sales machine.
