How Do You Scale Lifecycle Collaboration Globally?
You scale lifecycle collaboration globally by standardizing a single revenue lifecycle, governing it centrally, and orchestrating local execution across regions, segments, and channels—anchored in shared data, common metrics, and clear operating rhythms for marketing, sales, and customer success.
Scale lifecycle collaboration globally by defining one enterprise lifecycle framework, aligning regions and functions to standard stages, SLAs, and handoffs, and using shared data and dashboards to coordinate work. Establish a global revenue council, codify lifecycle plays and KPIs, then empower regional teams to localize offers and tactics while still reporting and optimizing against the same RM6-informed revenue outcomes.
What Matters for Global Lifecycle Collaboration?
The Global Lifecycle Collaboration Playbook
Use this sequence to move from disconnected regional campaigns to a unified, global lifecycle engine that can flex to local markets while still driving predictable revenue outcomes.
Define → Standardize → Localize → Orchestrate → Measure → Share → Improve
- Define a global lifecycle framework: Align executives on lifecycle stages, entry/exit criteria, and desired outcomes (pipeline, win rate, NRR). Use RM6 to identify gaps in strategy, people, process, technology, and results.
- Standardize data, taxonomy, and SLAs: Harmonize fields, objects, and lifecycle values across CRM, marketing automation, and CS platforms. Establish global SLAs for response times, stage progression, and handoffs.
- Localize plays and content: Give regions a playbook framework—triggers, audiences, offers, and cadences—then empower them to adapt messaging, channels, and content for local realities while keeping global structure intact.
- Orchestrate across teams and systems: Build automation and workflows that span marketing, sales, and CS, ensuring lifecycle signals (engagement, intent, product usage) trigger coordinated actions across teams and time zones.
- Measure consistently with shared dashboards: Stand up a global revenue marketing dashboard that exposes lifecycle performance by region, segment, and product line—so you can compare like-for-like.
- Share best practices across regions: Create a global community of practice where regions showcase high-performing plays, test results, and lessons learned that others can adopt and localize.
- Continuously improve the operating model: Use RM6 assessments and Revenue Marketing Index data to periodically recalibrate goals, adjust governance, and prioritize the next set of lifecycle improvements.
