DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

This product (Hiring Plan: Ratio Driven per Expected 3-Month Forward Revenue) is an Excel workbook (XLSX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

Forecasting expected hires / headcounts in a SaaS company can be like flying blind if you have no basis for how people get added in various departments of your company. This template is a high level way to make some sort of sense out of expectations and the costs therein.

The model comes in the form of an Excel template and a Google sheet template (link in the ‘Assumptions' tab of the Excel doc)

Here is how the logic works here:

• Define recurring revenue per month and the annual percentage growth rate (this will break down into the monthly growth) If you have your own revenue forecast, that is fine and just plug it into the monthly revenue row.
• Define the forward three month revenue amount that you want to base new hires on. For example, you can enter $600,000 and then the ratios will be based on that.
• Define ratios for Account Executives (AEs, SDRs, Customer Service Reps) that are needed per the forward 3 month revenue. This allows the user to define the following: how many AEs are needed per $x of expected 3-month leading revenue? If it is 1.5, that means for every $600,000, add 1.5 AEs. The $600,000 and 1.5 are configurable to any number.
• Define ratios of hirers for other departments in the same way.

Slots were built for 3 R&D types as well as 3 miscellaneous types. Based on these assumptions a few reports will display. The first is a monthly summary that shows expected revenues, expected salaries and headcounts based on the defined ratios.

The total percentage of revenue they equal will also display. A final report tab shows visualizations of headcounts / revenues / salary costs and some combo overlays to make it really clear what is happening based on the assumptions.

In general, this tool is a good way to estimate how many new hires there should be based on revenue growth. It is a way to get some control over this and have some boundaries / budgets to what is happening in a real situation.

Note, some of the visuals are different on the Google Sheet version.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"As a consulting firm, we had been creating subject matter training materials for our people and found the excellent materials on Flevy, which saved us 100's of hours of re-creating what already exists on the Flevy materials we purchased."

– Michael Evans, Managing Director at Newport LLC

"One of the great discoveries that I have made for my business is the Flevy library of training materials.

As a Lean Transformation Expert, I am always making presentations to clients on a variety of topics: Training, Transformation, Total Productive Maintenance, Culture, Coaching, Tools, Leadership Behavior, etc. Flevy usually has just what I need to make my point.

It is well worth the money to purchase these presentations. Sure, I have the knowledge and information to make my point. It is another thing to create a presentation that captures what I want to say. Flevy has saved me countless hours of preparation time that is much better spent with implementation that will actually save money for my clients."

– Ed Kemmerling, Senior Lean Transformation Expert at PMG

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.

I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.

Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.

Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world."

– Roberto Pelliccia, Senior Executive in International Hospitality

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."

– Michael Duff, Managing Director at Change Strategy (UK)

"FlevyPro has been a brilliant resource for me, as an independent growth consultant, to access a vast knowledge bank of presentations to support my work with clients. In terms of RoI, the value I received from the very first presentation I downloaded paid for my subscription many times over! The quality of the decks available allows me to punch way above my weight – it's like having the resources of a Big 4 consultancy at your fingertips at a microscopic fraction of the overhead."

– Roderick Cameron, Founding Partner at SGFE Ltd

"The wide selection of frameworks is very useful to me as an independent consultant. In fact, it rivals what I had at my disposal at Big 4 Consulting firms in terms of efficacy and organization."

– Julia T., Consulting Firm Owner (Former Manager at Deloitte and Capgemini)

"If you are looking for great resources to save time with your business presentations, Flevy is truly a value-added resource. Flevy has done all the work for you and we will continue to utilize Flevy as a source to extract up-to-date information and data for our virtual and onsite presentations!"

– Debbi Saffo, President at The NiKhar Group

"I have found Flevy to be an amazing resource and library of useful presentations for lean sigma, change management and so many other topics. This has reduced the time I need to spend on preparing for my performance consultation. The library is easily accessible and updates are regularly provided. A wealth of great information."

– Cynthia Howard RN, PhD, Executive Coach at Ei Leadership
