Commercial Growth Review

Commercial Growth Review for service businesses

A focused review of where commercial opportunities are being delayed, lost or underdeveloped — from enquiry handling and quoting through to follow-up, renewals, account growth and operational delivery.

The problem

Where service businesses lose commercial value

Many service businesses are busy, but still lose value through weak visibility, inconsistent follow-up, unclear ownership, slow quoting, missed renewals, underdeveloped accounts or disconnected systems. The issue is not always lack of demand. Often, the commercial engine is not clear, measured or supported properly.

Enquiry handling

Enquiries are handled inconsistently.

Quote follow-up

Quotes are sent but not followed up properly.

Ownership gaps

Remedial work or renewals are not clearly owned.

Account development

Existing customers are not developed systematically.

Pipeline visibility

Visibility depends on inboxes, spreadsheets or individual memory.

Operational drag

Growth creates more admin rather than better control.

Disconnected systems

Systems do not support the way the business actually works.

Who it is for

Designed for contract-driven service businesses.

The Commercial Growth Review is designed for service businesses where growth depends on enquiries, quotes, contracts, renewals, account development and reliable delivery.

Technical and built-environment services

Facilities management, construction-related services, fire and security, M&E, HVAC and commercial maintenance.

Outsourced and professional services

Outsourced services, professional services and other recurring or contract-led service businesses.

Selected specialist providers

Recruitment and staffing, plus selected healthcare-service providers where commercial growth and reliable delivery are closely linked.

Review scope

What we review

Commercial first. AI and systems only where they genuinely support the outcome.

Enquiry handling and qualification

How demand enters the business and how the right opportunities are identified.

Quote/proposal process

How quotes and proposals are produced, controlled and progressed.

Follow-up discipline

Whether the business has a clear, owned follow-up rhythm after quotes and proposals are issued.

Renewal and remedial-work process

How repeat, remedial and renewal opportunities are identified, owned and converted.

Account development

How existing customers are developed beyond reactive service delivery.

Commercial visibility and reporting

What leadership can see about pipeline, conversion, renewals, account growth and constraints.

Process gaps and handover points

Where commercial work passes into operations, delivery or administration — and where value gets stuck.

Systems, workflows and AI opportunities

Where better tools, dashboards or automation could help without turning technology into the headline.

Deliverables

What you receive

The output is not a generic advice document. It gives the leadership team a clear view of where commercial performance is being restricted, what should be fixed first and what practical changes would make the biggest difference.

03

Priority findings

The issues most likely to affect commercial performance, control or delivery.

04

Systems and workflow diagnostic

Where existing systems are helping, where they are creating drag, and where better tools may be needed.

05

90-day improvement plan

A practical sequence of changes focused on the next measurable improvement.

Process

How the review works

Typically completed within 10 working days once the required information has been provided.

01

Initial review call

Confirm the commercial context, constraints and whether the review is the right first step.

02

Information gathering

Collect the relevant context, process notes, reporting and examples.

03

Commercial process review

Review enquiry, quote, renewal and account-growth activity.

04

Systems assessment

Assess the workflows, tools and handover points supporting the commercial process.

05

Findings and recommendations

Identify the highest-value issues and the practical changes required.

06

90-day plan and leadership session

Agree the priority actions and walk through the plan with the leadership team.

Scope and pricing

A fixed-scope paid engagement.

The Commercial Growth Review is a fixed-scope paid engagement. Pricing and scope are confirmed after an initial conversation to make sure the review is appropriate for the business.

After the review, the business can implement the plan internally or work with DSCG on the next stage. This may include retained commercial support, workflow improvement, dashboard design, AI implementation or a focused implementation sprint.
