Why each option
This question addresses the timeline for revenue realization when selling business outcomes in a cloud implementation scenario.
Stating a precise 25% increase is an arbitrary figure and not a general characteristic of business outcome selling revenue models or cloud implementations.
Revenue from business outcome selling in a cloud context is typically not immediate, as it's often based on consumption or value realization over time rather than an upfront payment for a product.
In business outcomes selling, particularly with cloud implementations, revenue is often tied to ongoing consumption, subscription models, or achieving specific, measurable outcomes over time rather than a single upfront product sale. This leads to revenue being realized incrementally over a longer period, aligning with the sustained value delivered by the cloud solution.
Claiming revenue is three times bigger than traditional product selling is an arbitrary and often unsubstantiated claim, not a universal characteristic of this selling model.
