Initiative 3: Optimize Lead Scoring — ✅ Completed. New AI-powered scoring model deployed, increased lead-to-opportunity conversion from 21% to 24%.

Risks & Mitigations

Risk: €85K Enterprise deal (TechCorp) slipping to Q1 2026 due to budget freeze. Mitigation: Engaged CFO directly, proposed pilot structure to accelerate Q4 close. 60% probability of close by January 15.

Risk: Marketing budget constraint impacting Q1 lead generation targets. Mitigation: Reallocating €12K from low-performing paid search to content marketing and partnerships.

Recommendations
  • Double down on Enterprise: Allocate 2 additional AEs to Enterprise segment based on pipeline velocity and deal size trends
  • Optimize marketing mix: Reduce paid search by 30%, increase content investment by 50% (ROI data supports reallocation)
  • Accelerate partner channel: Partner-sourced deals show 35% higher win rate and 20% faster sales cycle — prioritize co-marketing
  • Implement customer success automation: Health score monitoring and renewal workflows to protect 118% NRR
