Revenue systems architecture & advisory

Most revenue problems are not effort problems. They are system design problems.

Designate helps B2B SaaS companies fix misaligned revenue systems — so leaders can trust their numbers, teams can execute consistently, and growth becomes predictable.

For revenue leaders and founders at B2B SaaS companies scaling from $5M–$50M ARR.

The pattern

Nothing is broken enough to panic. But execution feels heavier than it should.

Forecasts feel subjective

Leadership can't distinguish signal from noise. Pipeline reviews become status checks, not decision-making instruments.

Oversight increases, clarity doesn't

Leaders get pulled into day-to-day execution just to regain visibility. Micromanagement replaces system trust.

Reps compensate for the system

Sellers spend more time navigating tools and workarounds than selling. Effort increases while results plateau.

Data exists, trust doesn't

Information lives everywhere — CRM, spreadsheets, Slack — but no single source reflects operating reality.

Handoffs create friction

Leads slip between marketing, sales, and CS. Each team optimizes locally while end-to-end flow degrades.

The system was built for an earlier stage

What worked at $3M ARR actively resists the motions needed at $15M. The system evolved incrementally, not intentionally.

How we work

Diagnostic-first. Systems-level. No tool bias.

We don't start with solutions. We start with a clear picture of where friction actually lives — then design systems that reduce it structurally.

01

Detect

Surface credible friction signals through structured executive conversation. Separate symptoms from root causes.

02

Diagnose

Map system-level breakdowns across forecasting, pipeline, handoffs, data, and accountability structures.

03

Design

Architect solutions that address root constraints — not isolated symptoms — so execution gets lighter as you scale.

About

Built from operating experience, not theory.

Designate was founded by Nate Mutispaugh after 15+ years inside B2B SaaS revenue teams — selling, building GTM motions, designing CRM workflows, and watching strong people fail inside weak systems.

From founding-stage sales teams to scaling revenue organizations, Nate saw the same pattern: system misalignment creates friction that compounds silently — and the right structural interventions restore clarity, trust, and execution speed.

That experience spans CRM architecture across Salesforce and HubSpot, sales enablement programs built for distributed teams, and cross-functional work with CROs, VPs of Sales, and revenue leaders at B2B SaaS and technology companies.

Operated inside every layer of the revenue system
CRM architecture

Built and rebuilt pipelines, lifecycle stages, and data models in Salesforce and HubSpot — for teams that needed to trust what they were looking at.

Workflow & handoff design

Designed routing, automation, and cross-functional handoffs that reduced friction between marketing, sales, and CS.

Reporting & forecasting

Created dashboards and forecast models that leadership could actually use to make decisions — not just review in meetings.

Enablement & adoption

Trained distributed sales teams on new systems, methodologies, and tools — because a system only works if people use it.

"Effort doesn't scale. Systems do."
Operating beliefs
  • Clarity over complexity. The best systems are simple enough that everyone trusts them.
  • Diagnose before you prescribe. Every engagement starts with understanding, not assumptions.
  • Systems over heroics. If execution depends on individual effort, the system is the problem.
  • Build for the next stage. What got you here won't get you there. Design with intention.
Systems & certifications
  • CRM: Salesforce, HubSpot
  • Enablement: SalesLoft, MEDDPICC, Challenger

01
Insight precedes action
No recommendations without diagnostic clarity. Understanding the system comes before changing it.
02
Design precedes automation
Tools amplify whatever system they're placed in. Fix the design first, then instrument it.
03
Leverage precedes scale
Execution should feel lighter as companies grow — not heavier. That requires structural thinking.
