Most companies have a significant opportunity for revenue growth and gross margin improvement hidden in their long tail of smaller customers. Our clients are now capturing this opportunity through our newly available AI/data analytics approach that allows a company to identify microsegments (clusters) of customers that can be served in unique and differentiated ways to capture profitable revenue. This Executive Brief contains practical ideas for taking action and client examples to illustrate the approach. How to get started? Blue Ridge Partners has worked with over 1,200 companies in the past 22 years and this experience allows us to assess the potential in your long tail of small customers in approximately two weeks. We will evaluate your current approach to selling and serving the long tail, identify improvement ideas, and size the prize. For further information, reach out to our Chief Data Analytics Officer Chris Heuschkel or contact us at info@blueridgepartners.com.

Focusing on Accelerating Profitable Revenue Growth – the #1 Driver of Value Creation
About us
At Blue Ridge Partners, we focus exclusively on helping companies accelerate profitable revenue growth. We have earned high marks from private equity firms by delivering material, rapid and cost-effective results for them and their portfolio companies. We selected this area of specialization because revenue growth is the #1 driver of value creation—58% of all value creation comes from revenue growth. In accelerating growth, we consider strategic growth options such as entering new end markets, expanding geographically, and adding new products and services. We also help strengthen company execution by enhancing sales force effectiveness, optimizing channel performance, improving marketing programs, optimizing pricing, and strengthening sales and marketing leadership skills. Most of our senior leaders come from large strategy consulting firms, but they have also led businesses. These combined experiences yield a natural focus on strategic issues in complex markets, with a highly pragmatic approach and a focus on implementation. We work with Fortune 500, middle market companies and private equity firms and their portfolio companies to analyze their revenue engine performance, identify opportunities for improvement and then work side by side with our clients to implement action plans that drive incremental revenues and the margins associated with those revenues. Since 2002, our firm has worked with over 1,000 companies in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia/Pacific. If you are interested in hearing more about how we can help your company, please contact us.

We recently surveyed operating partners and investment partners regarding the challenges facing their portfolio companies and how these challenges are impacting the size, shape and structure of their Value Creation Teams in 2024. We presented the findings, last month, at the keynote session of PEI Operating Partners Forum Europe, for which Blue Ridge Partners is the long-standing Knowledge Partner. Here are some of the key takeaways from the research and discussion: KEY OPERATIONAL HURDLES: Accelerating organic revenue growth emerged as the top operating challenge over the coming 12 months. Other critical areas include optimizing pricing strategies, enhancing financial efficiency, and upgrading talent within the organization. STRATEGIC TEAM INTEGRATION: There is a strong consensus on the necessity for value creation teams to be more structurally integrated with deal teams, ensuring seamless collaboration and enhanced overall performance. CONTRASTING PARTNER PRIORITIES: There are marked differences of perspective between investment and operating partners. Investment partners place significantly more emphasis on supply chains, cash flow management, and cost control. They also stress the importance of value creation teams having stronger specialist skills in areas such as commercial effectiveness.

Discover additional pricing upside in 2024 that was likely not captured in 2021 - 2023. While we believe the 2024 “base” price increase will generally be lower than the past few years, we believe there are additional pricing opportunities some may have overlooked.
