Gain clarity about your digital priorities

Growth Blueprint: How to gain clarity about your digital priorities in 4 weeks

Many companies know that their marketing and sales need to be "better" digital – but they don't know where to start. They have campaigns, tools, and ideas, but no clear picture of which steps are truly crucial next. This is precisely where a growth blueprint comes in.

The real problem: Too many options, too little priority

Most organizations today have more "too much" than "too little":

• several tools (CRM, newsletter, landing pages, maybe automation)

• various channels (website, social media, events, recommendations)

• Many individual measures, but little connection

What's missing is an answer to three simple questions:

1. What specific goals do we want to achieve in marketing and sales?

2. Which levers have the greatest influence on this?

3. What measures should we implement, and in what order?

Without this clarity, activism ensues: People do what they have time, budget, or desire for – not necessarily what makes the greatest contribution to value creation.

What a Growth Blueprint does

A Growth Blueprint is not just another concept paper that ends up gathering dust in a drawer. It should deliver three things in a short amount of time:

• Clarity : Where are we now, where do we want to go, what's missing in between?

• Basis for decision-making : Which systems, processes and measures are useful – and which are not?

• Concrete roadmap : What exactly will we do in the next 90 days?

Instead of getting lost in details, the blueprint creates an overview that enables action.

What is typically analyzed in the Growth Blueprint

The content may vary depending on the company, but three areas are almost always central.

a) Marketing, sales and customer processes

• How do potential customers get in touch with you today?

• How are leads captured, qualified, and passed on?

• What does a typical sales process look like – from initial contact to closing the deal?

• Where do potential customers drop out, where is time or information lost?

Goal: To make the actual customer journey visible – not just the ideal scenario.

b) Systems and data

• Which tools are in use (CRM, email, automation, forms, analytics)?

• What data is collected – and what is missing?

• Where do media breaks or duplicate data storage exist?

• What analyses are possible today – and which would be necessary?

Objective: To understand what technology already exists and what role these systems play (or could play).

c) Goals, key performance indicators and growth drivers

• What are the goals (e.g., revenue, new customers, inquiries, conversion rates)?

• Which key performance indicators (KPIs) are regularly reviewed today – and which are not?

• What “levers” are identifiable (e.g., better qualification, more follow-up offers, shorter lead times)?

Goal: To bridge the gap between business goals and systems.

The 90-day roadmap: Why focus is so important

A key outcome of the Growth Blueprint is a clear roadmap for the next 90 days. It answers three specific questions:

1. What are we setting? first um?

2. What can we do? deliberately later approach?

3. What do we leave behind? deliberately away ?

Instead of an overloaded list of measures, the roadmap contains a few, clearly prioritized steps – for example:

• Phase 1 (Month 1): Clean up the CRM structure, define pipeline phases, set up basic reporting.

• Phase 2 (Month 2): Introduce standardized follow-up processes, set up initial automations

• Phase 3 (Month 3): Cleanly integrate landing pages and forms into the CRM, train marketing and sales teams in the new process.

Important: The roadmap is not just a list, but also outlines responsibilities, sequences, and dependencies.

Which decisions are made easier by the blueprint

A Growth Blueprint makes it significantly easier for leaders and teams to make decisions:

• Tool decisions
  Do we really need a new system – or could we make better use of the existing one? If so, for what exactly?

• Budget decisions
  Which measures are worth investing in – and which have little effect relative to the effort?

• Resource decisions
  Where is internal capacity needed, where is external support required – and for what exactly?

• Priority decisions
  What do we do now, what later, and what not at all?

Instead of "feelings" and individual opinions, you have a common, structured basis.

For whom a Growth Blueprint is particularly worthwhile

A growth blueprint is particularly effective when:

• There are already leads and inquiries available

• Various tools are in use, but there is no clear overall system.

• Marketing and sales are ready to sit down together at one table.

• Management wants to make decisions, but lacks a sound basis for those decisions.

It is less useful if there are practically no activities yet or only individual, isolated measures are desired (e.g., "just a landing page" or "just a newsletter tool").

What happens after the Growth Blueprint

A blueprint is the starting point, not the destination. Based on the roadmap, you can:

• address the implementation internally

• selectively commission external partners

• or tackle the next steps with a structured setup or steering offer

The crucial point is: they know Why Do something What They do and what you consciously choose not to do .

Conclusion

A growth blueprint brings order to an environment often characterized by tools, ideas, and individual measures. It creates clarity, prioritization, and decision-making ability – thus laying the foundation for marketing and sales investments to actually contribute to value creation.
