What 314 CONSULTANCY solves
When growth depends on heroics, revenue becomes harder to scale
Many B2B companies do not have a sales effort problem. They have a sales system problem. ICPs (Ideal Customer Profile) are too broad, qualification is inconsistent, managers are overloaded, and forecast accuracy is weaker than the board or founder team needs it to be.
314 Consultancy helps leadership teams build a sales operating model with clearer targeting, better qualification, stronger management cadence and a reliable path from pipeline activity to deal closures.
Founder-led selling that does not scale
Revenue depends too heavily on individual effort.
Sales hiring without structure
Role design and ramp expectations are not aligned.
Pipeline activity without forecast confidence
Deals move, but management cannot rely on the forecast.
Managers carrying too much cognitive load
Inspection, coaching, and weekly rhythm are inconsistent.

The founder's edge
Built on operating experience, not theory alone
I have spent 32 years leading sales teams across enterprise software, and most of what I rely on comes from time in the field.
When forecasts slip or growth plateaus, the same issues show up every time: the wrong ICP, weak qualification, managers too busy "hero-closing" and not having time to coach.
That is usually a system problem, not a training problem.
314 Consultancy exists to fix those systems.

FAQs
Answers to common questions from senior revenue leaders
When is a fractional CRO a fit?
Usually when a company needs senior revenue leadership but is not ready to hire a full-time CRO, or when the founder needs help operationalizing the sales operating model.
Is this only for SaaS software startups?
No. The work is most relevant for B2B firms that need stronger GTM and sales management systems, whether early-stage or more established.
What does a typical engagement include?
Most engagements include diagnosis, design of the required systems, and practical support in implementing management cadence, hiring structure, and forecast discipline.
Do services include training?
Yes, but training is usually part of a broader commercial improvement effort rather than a stand-alone workshop business.
Do you work only in Mumbai?
No. The practice is based in Mumbai and serves clients across India and selected global markets.
If growth is rising but revenue execution still feels fragile, start with a focused conversation
Most leaders already know something is wrong. They just haven't had the conversation that names it clearly.
A discovery call is the simplest way to assess whether the issue is GTM design, sales management, hiring structure, pipeline discipline, or a combination of all four.
