Growth Becomes The First Databox 'Benchmark' Certified Partner

At Growth, we are thrilled to announce that we are the first to achieve certification through Databox's 'Benchmarks' course. This certification underscores our commitment to enhancing the toolkit of our customers, prospects, and community with innovative solutions. Our partnership with Databox enables us to integrate comprehensive data analytics, offering a distinct competitive advantage and deepening the analytical capabilities we provide. This initiative also strengthens our collaborations with tech partners, enriching our network with shared expertise and resources..

Providing benchmarking services to clients is a natural extension to Growth's Revenue Operations and ABM strategies. Benchmarks provide them a way to objectively compare their prospect's and client's results, so they can better set goals and discuss strategies for performance improvement.

I've been impressed with how quickly the full team at Growth has learned how to leverage benchmarks within their marketing content, sales process and with new clients. Their deftness with the data gives me confidence that they'll be able to help their clients chart a path to top performance."

The power of benchmarks in strategic consulting

Benchmarks are essential in consulting, offering businesses a way to quantitatively compare their performance and practices with their peers. The Databox course empowers us to leverage these benchmarks specifically tailored to our service offerings, improving our ability to provide precise insights and customized solutions. This method has not only been theoretical but has practically enhanced business growth strategies, as demonstrated by Databox's own success and the achievements of its partners.

Through resources such as our own 'Growth Metrics Benchmark Group', we've been able to show customers in real time how their metrics compare against other industry peers who perform at a median rate, but also at the bottom and top quartile of their industry. Since launching our group, benchmarking their data has become a key part of strategic planning for several of our customers as they now know where they stand, and can analyze areas where they need to improve in order to rise to the top quartile of performers within their industry. 

implementing and gaining the certification

To attain this certification, we had to meet rigorous criteria, starting with completing Databox's online certification course. Beyond that, we've created multiple assets such as our own benchmark group, a free benchmark consultation program for those who need help getting started, and the publication of multiple articles showcasing our benchmark insights and how to leverage this tool. These steps have equipped us with the expertise to effectively interpret and relay critical data insights to our clients. We are extremely proud to have been the first to earn this certification, and excited to continue working with tech partners like Databox in order to continue to provide new tools and solutions to our customers, prospects, and community members. 

Elevating Client Engagement and Sales Processes

Our Brand & Community Manager, Richard Barcellos, shares how benchmark data has transformed our marketing and sales approaches. By embedding performance metrics into our content strategy, we illuminate operational distinctions between top performers and the rest, guiding targeted, actionable marketing strategies. Similarly, in sales, this data empowers us to provide prospective clients with immediate insights into their performance relative to their peers, fostering more impactful sales dialogues.

Additional tools such as our 'B2B's Most Effective Marketing Solutions survey' also enable us to create actionable content such as micro lessons, articles, and playbooks tailored to the real challenges faced by our community, prospects, and customers. Data from such surveys allow us to identify challenges and tendencies that can be improved upon utilizing industry best practices because they give us insight into the goals and challenges faced by B2B companies in today's landscape. The images below represent what that kind of data looks like:

expanding beyond just benchmarking 

To further support our stakeholders, we have developed an array of additional resources such as:

• Our own Benchmark Group for Professional Service and Manufacturing firms, which offers firsthand insights into industry standards and allows users to analyze and benchmark their own data against others.

• Our complimentary benchmark consultation program, designed to help those wanting to get started with benchmarking. During the free consultation our CEO, Chris Nault will personally help you benchmark your data.
• The Redwood Grove Community, where industry leaders share knowledge, discuss challenges, and learn about the latest tools and best practices to help them grow themselves as well as their businesses.
