If your Magic Number is low (< 0.7), think about whether or not you need to make changes to your go-to-market model.

  • Have you segmented your prospects and identified your ideal customer profile?
  • Are you using the right distribution model and routes to market?
  • Do you have sufficient marketing and sales alignment on customer messaging and demand generation?

Conversely, if your Magic Number is high (> 0.7), think about stepping on the gas to accelerate growth.

  • Can you easily envision yourself adding headcount in a scalable fashion?
  • Do you need to think about adding additional routes to market?
  • Is it time to add additional markets?
