The structural problem

Quarterly volatility is structural,
not cyclical.

Revenue instability begins with structure

Most distributors manage demand variation reactively. The gap is not in the market — it is in the absence of a governed outbound architecture.

No consistent pipeline coverage

Without a defined coverage model, pipeline becomes episodic. Quarter-end pressure is a symptom of inadequate forward coverage — not market conditions.

Activity without calibration

Outreach volume is not a pipeline strategy. Without close rate and deal size modelling, activity metrics are structurally disconnected from revenue targets.

No governance between quarters

Revenue targets are set quarterly. Outbound systems that are not governed quarterly cannot produce stable pipeline coverage across the fiscal year.

Structural fit

Structural fit matters.

The QPCM™ model is designed for a specific operational profile. Confirming fit before engagement protects both the timeline and the integrity of the coverage system.

Best fit: UK industrial distributors and manufacturers with an internal sales team, a measurable close rate, and deal sizes of £20,000 or above.

  • £5M–£50M annual revenue · industrial distribution or manufacturing Mid-size B2B operators in distribution, manufacturing, or specialist supply — where quarterly revenue discipline is commercially material.
  • Internal sales team with measurable close rate · £20K+ deal size CRM in place and a capable sales function ready to convert covered pipeline. The architecture governs coverage — your team converts it.
  • Not a fit: early-stage, no internal sales function, or sub-£20K deal size The QPCM™ model requires established deal economics and a sales function capable of converting structured pipeline coverage. If that describes your current position, we will indicate a more appropriate approach.
  • Not a fit: no measurable close rate or CRM discipline Pipeline governance requires baseline data. Without a traceable close rate, the coverage model cannot be calibrated reliably against your revenue target.
The architecture

The QPCM™ — Quarterly Pipeline Coverage Model

We model revenue targets backward: Target → Deal Size → Close Rate → Required Opportunities → Required Coverage. We do not chase meetings. We calibrate coverage.

Foundation

Revenue target modelling

We begin with the quarterly revenue target and work backward through deal size, close rate, and required opportunity volume to establish a precise coverage requirement for the period.

Infrastructure

Data & domain infrastructure

Verified account lists, domain configuration, and deliverability architecture. Every component documented, tested, and owned by the client from day one of the engagement.

Sequencing

Acquisition sequencing

Outreach structured by segment, seniority, and buying signal. Sequence iteration is governed by coverage data and close rate feedback — not by volume instinct or channel preference.

Governance

Quarterly pipeline governance

Coverage is reviewed at the quarterly interval. Calibration adjustments are made before a shortfall becomes a revenue event — not after quarter-end results are reported.

How we compare

Conventional outreach versus structured pipeline governance.

Most outbound providers optimise for activity. The QPCM™ optimises for coverage. The distinction is structural — not cosmetic.

Engagement snapshots

Methodology first. Anonymised by design.

Named engagements are disclosed with client approval during a strategic discussion. What follows reflects the structural approach and observable outcomes from completed work.

Industrial Distribution · UK
Deal size: £20k–£60k · Sales cycle: 45–90 days
1
Problem: No structured coverage model. Pipeline was generated episodically through referrals and reactive quoting, producing consistent quarterly revenue shortfalls.
2
Approach: QPCM™ coverage model applied. Target segment defined by company turnover and procurement structure. Coverage requirement calculated from verified close rate data.
3
Output: Outbound architecture deployed with weekly governance reporting. Coverage reviewed and recalibrated at the 90-day interval.
Observable outcomes
Pipeline coverage stabilised Quarterly governance established
Manufacturing · UK
Deal size: £25k–£80k · Sales cycle: 30–75 days
1
Problem: Existing outreach lacked segment discipline. Broad targeting produced inconsistent decision-maker seniority and poor close rate visibility across quarters.
2
Approach: Market structured into three sub-segments by application and procurement authority. Sequencing calibrated by decision-maker seniority and buying cycle stage.
3
Output: Coverage model introduced. Close rate data integrated into quarterly reporting, enabling forward pipeline projection with meaningful accuracy.
Observable outcomes
Close rate visibility improved Segment discipline established
Specialist Distribution · UK
Deal size: £30k–£120k · Sales cycle: 60–120 days
1
Problem: Extended sales cycles made quarterly pipeline forecasting unreliable. No structured coverage model to compensate for cycle length and opportunity lag.
2
Approach: Coverage model recalibrated for extended cycles. Earlier-stage opportunity entry points identified. Sequencing adjusted to account for longer buying horizons.
3
Output: Pipeline governance structure extended to account for cycle lag. Forward coverage improved at both the 90-day and 180-day intervals.
Observable outcomes
Forward coverage extended Pipeline forecast accuracy improved
On engagement transparency: Clients are anonymised by default in competitive industrial sectors. Methodology documentation, coverage models, and engagement data are available during a strategic discussion — not as public marketing copy. We do not publish figures we cannot substantiate.
Operating principles

Credibility through verifiable architecture — not claimed outcomes.

We do not publish results we cannot substantiate. We build trust through transparent methodology, contractual governance commitments, and a system that can be audited at any point in the engagement.

No unsubstantiated claims

Coverage models, sequencing logic, and governance frameworks are available for review. If a claim cannot be demonstrated on request, it is not made on this page.

Coverage KPIs defined before engagement

The QPCM™ model is calibrated from your revenue target, deal size, and close rate before any sequencing begins. Governance accountability is structural — not implied.

Weekly reporting against the coverage model

Pipeline stage, coverage percentage, and sequence performance reviewed weekly against the quarterly target — not a polished monthly summary of activity.

Architecture is transferred to you

Account lists, sequences, domain infrastructure, and the coverage model itself are fully transferred at the close of the engagement. No proprietary lock-in on methodology.

Structural fit assessed before engagement

If your market size, deal economics, or sales function do not support a viable coverage model, we will indicate that before any commitment is made — not after two quarters of inadequate results.

Governed capacity — not pooled accounts

Engagements are limited to a level that allows quarterly governance to function with rigour. We indicate when capacity is constrained rather than accept engagements we cannot govern properly.

Engagement structure

Transparent. No artificial urgency.

Engagement scope is calibrated to the QPCM™ coverage requirement — not packaged uniformly. Retainers are structured on a quarterly governance cycle.

Architecture Build

£3k–£6k one-time

Full system design — architecture transferred on completion.

  • QPCM™ coverage model and market structuring
  • Acquisition sequences by segment and seniority
  • Domain and deliverability infrastructure (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
  • CRM integration and governance framework

Appropriate when structured pipeline coverage infrastructure does not yet exist. All architecture is transferred to you on completion.

Govern + Calibrate Most common

£2.5k–£8k /quarter

Ongoing governance and quarterly recalibration.

  • Weekly coverage review against quarterly target
  • Sequence calibration by segment and response data
  • Pipeline-linked reporting — not activity metrics
  • Quarterly architecture review and adjustment

Most engagements begin here following a strategic discussion. Scope is calibrated to deal size, close rate, and market complexity — not fixed in advance.

Performance Governance Layer

Optional by criteria

Fee element linked to verified pipeline coverage events.

  • Applies only to opportunities meeting agreed qualification criteria
  • Coverage events must be verified in CRM to qualify
  • Transparent audit trail — no ambiguity on what counts

Introduced once the coverage model and qualification criteria are stable — typically from the second quarterly governance cycle.

Common questions

Considered questions. Direct answers.

What is the QPCM™ and how does it differ from standard outreach?

The Quarterly Pipeline Coverage Model begins with your revenue target and works backward — through deal size, close rate, and required opportunity volume — to establish what outbound coverage is structurally needed each quarter. Standard outreach optimises for activity. The QPCM™ optimises for coverage. The difference is architectural, not cosmetic.

Why no client testimonials or star ratings on this page?

Named clients and attributed data are shared during a strategic discussion — not published without explicit approval. In competitive industrial sectors, clients routinely request anonymity. We do not publish claims we cannot substantiate on request. A Managing Director conducting proper due diligence will notice the difference between marketed credibility and verifiable credibility.

How long before the coverage model produces consistent pipeline?

Leading coverage signals — sequence engagement, early-stage opportunity entries — typically emerge within 4–6 weeks. Stable quarterly pipeline coverage, by design, becomes measurable at the 90-day interval. We provide a coverage forecast before engagement — not a best-case conversion promise. The forecast is conservative by construction.

Do you work with distributors outside the UK?

The primary design context for the QPCM™ is the UK industrial market. Engagements in EU and Gulf markets are considered where deal size, sales cycle structure, and procurement culture support the coverage model. Structural fit is assessed carefully before any cross-border engagement is accepted.

What if we are not a structural fit after the initial discussion?

We will indicate that directly — typically within the first conversation. Proceeding with an engagement that cannot support a viable coverage model is counterproductive for both parties. Where possible, we will indicate a more appropriate approach for your current stage and operational position.

What if our addressable market is narrow?

Market scope is one of the first variables assessed in the QPCM™ model. During the strategic discussion, we will map the realistic addressable universe and indicate whether the coverage model is viable at that market size. A constrained market is better identified at the outset than discovered midway through a governance cycle.

Engagements — accepted by structural fit

If quarterly revenue stability matters more than meeting volume, we should talk.

Share the fundamentals — your market, deal size, and current sales structure. We will assess whether the QPCM™ coverage model is viable for your position and provide a direct fit or no-fit indication. No speculative pipeline promises.
