Andreas Dorsch, founder of Sales Planner

Whoever plans without an honest maturity check is planning wishful thinking. Clarity comes before complexity.

The basics

Why Is Sales Planner a Strategic Turning Point

Sales Planner isn't another inbox to check or a CRM stand-in. It's the strategic planning layer for owners, managing directors, and sales managers ready to move their IT or software company into its next stage of maturity. Drawing on more than 20 years of advising IT and software providers, Andreas Dorsch designed Sales Planner as a guided path through three disciplines: know where you stand, calculate where you're going, and manage the distance between.

Good sales planning covers:

  • Diagnosing the maturity of lead generation and sales processes
  • Modelling realistic conversion rates
  • Defining and sizing the addressable market
  • Reverse-engineering a five-year plan from your revenue target
  • Mapping the funnel from first outreach to closed deal
  • Sizing headcount needs and setting attainable quotas
How it works

From Spreadsheet Sprawl To Structured Sales Planning Software

Three modules. Each stands on its own. No CRM integration required.

1

Establish Your Maturity Baseline

A structured diagnostic spanning strategy, market, sales organisation, and management. You'll walk away with a clear-eyed view of your strengths and the specific gaps to close, no consultant-speak, no sugarcoating. Roughly 30 minutes to a finished profile.

Finished profile in ≈ 30 min
2

Calculate The Five-Year Plan

Name your year-five revenue target. Sales Planner works backwards to surface the pipeline, win rates, and capacity each business unit will need. Adjust any assumption and watch the ripple effect instantly. Five years, calculated in reverse.

3

Steer Implementation

The plan becomes a monthly cadence of concrete sales activity. You and your team see exactly what's needed to stay on pace and catch deviations long before they threaten the annual number. Target vs. actual, visible every week.

What You Actually Walk Away With

Three levers that turn unpredictable growth into a forecast you can defend in the boardroom.

  • Predictable new-business growth
    Trade gut feeling for a forecast people actually believe.
  • A shorter sales funnel
    Fewer deals stall out; more close on schedule.
  • One strategic direction
    Sales, marketing, and leadership are finally pulling the same lever.
Use cases

Typical Turning Points

Moments where owners and managing directors need clarity, fast.

  • Shift

    Business model shift: Moving from license or project revenue to SaaS or subscription.

  • Handover

    Ownership handover: Passing the company to the next generation or a new owner.

  • Plateau

    Plateau or shrinking base: Growth has stalled, and it's time for structure, not hustle.

Methodology & assumptions

Calculation: (1) win-rate uplift × qualified pipeline × deal size, (2) additional deals/rep = N × (1 / (1 − compression) − 1), capped by physical cycle capacity, (3) recovered hours = reps × hrs/week × reduction × 46 selling weeks, valued at fully-loaded cost / 1,880, (4) additional revenue = baseline × coverage uplift. Win rate clamped to min. 5% to avoid unrealistic upside. Defaults are intentionally conservative; actual results depend on your starting point. This estimate is not a quote.
