THE COMMERCIAL MATURITY INDEX

SEE WHERE YOUR COMMERCIAL ENGINE STANDS TODAY.

The Commercial Maturity Index is a free, structured assessment of your commercial operation across eight connected pillars. In approximately 15–20 minutes, it identifies where capability appears strongest, where growth may be constrained and which areas deserve closer investigation.

Invest 15–20 minutes and receive a personalised commercial maturity report covering all eight pillars, normally delivered within two working days.

40 questions. Approximately 15–20 minutes. No cost. No obligation.
WHAT TO EXPECT

BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER.

Before

Nothing to prepare in advance. Where possible, complete it with visibility across strategy, sales, customers, operations and leadership — not just one part of the sales process.

During

40 straightforward capability questions across the eight commercial pillars, about 15–20 minutes in total. Answer based on how the business actually operates today, not how you’d like it to.

After

Your responses are scored and turned into a free, scored CMI report — normally delivered by email within two working days. No obligation to take it further.

WHY IT MATTERS

COMMERCIAL PROBLEMS RARELY EXIST IN ISOLATION.

An inconsistent pipeline may begin with unclear positioning. Weak conversion may be rooted in poor discovery or an undefined sales process. Unreliable forecasting may expose wider problems with qualification, CRM discipline or commercial leadership.

The CMI looks across the whole commercial system. It helps distinguish visible symptoms from the underlying capabilities most likely to be limiting predictable growth.

Not eight separate problems.
Eight connected parts of one commercial system.

A Good Fit

  • B2B technology, data, intelligence, SaaS and subscription businesses

  • Another senior leader with visibility across the commercial operation
Where possible, the assessment should be completed by someone with visibility across strategy, sales, customers, operations and leadership — not only one part of the sales process.
