Market research and validation
Sizing the addressable market, testing demand with real buyers, and proving the offer matches what the market will actively pay for before you build the funnel around it.
Velocity backed by execution
Everyone else sells activity. We build and run the whole engine. Sales, marketing and customer success. And we’re paid when your revenue moves.
About Haliqq
A growth firm in Riyadh that owns pipeline, conversion and retention end to end, rather than one channel inside somebody else’s plan.
The problem
Companies buy campaigns from one supplier and a strategy from another, then hire someone to hold it together. Three invoices, no accountability. We replace all of it with one team that owns pipeline, conversion and retention.
How we work
We work as operators, not advisers. Our prospectors, closers and marketers sit inside your business, running the engine against KPIs agreed before anything starts.
How we’re paid
And we are paid the way a partner should be. A retainer while the engine runs, and then a success fee, equity, or a blend of the two, tied to KPIs set before anything starts.
Who we serve
Two routes into the same market. Where you are incorporated matters far less than whether your revenue is closed by people rather than closing itself.
Founded here, selling here. You already understand the buyer. What is missing is a motion that repeats without the founder in the room, a pipeline that can be forecast rather than hoped for, and a team that can carry it after we step back. We build it, run it, and hand it over instrumented.
A product that works elsewhere and no presence here yet. We are the ground team before there is a ground team. First meetings, local qualification, Arabic-first outreach, and the pipeline that justifies the entity, the office and the first hires. Whether entry is driven by a client, a tender or a regional headquarters requirement, the sequence is the same and the evidence comes before the payroll.

The engine does not change. What changes is how much of it you need and how hard it has to work. Find the one you are actually on. How we are paid follows from it.
Pre-revenue, or the first few customers who came through the founder. Nothing repeatable yet, and the open question is whether the offer and the segment are right at all.
Revenue is arriving but nobody can say why it arrives. Deals close on effort rather than on process, and the forecast is a guess dressed as a number.
The motion is starting to repeat. Deals now close on process rather than effort, and the job is to speed up what works before adding more people.
The motion works and the constraint is capacity. More pipeline than the team can carry, or a team growing faster than the playbook that trains it.
An established business that needs a motion it does not have. A new market, a new product line, a spin-out, or a core line growing slower than it should.
Where it starts
The diagnosis takes apart where your revenue comes from today, across channels, funnel, sales motion, retention and the economics underneath. You get the read either way, including if the answer is that you do not need us, and you keep that work whether or not we go further.
Process
Diagnose, architect, build, execute, compound. Every stage has an owner, a deliverable and a number attached to it.
We take apart where revenue comes from today. Channels, funnel, unit economics, sales motion, retention.
We design the engine. Positioning, offer and pricing, the acquisition motion, the sales process, and the KPIs our fee is tied to.
Systems, tracking, CRM, playbooks, creative and sequences get built and instrumented, and the team is embedded and trained.
We run it. Our prospectors, closers and marketers work the pipeline daily, reporting against the agreed numbers rather than activity.
Every cycle we cut what is not working and scale what is. The engine gets cheaper to run and better at converting.
How we are paid
There is no standard price. Three components, weighted to the program you are on and to what the company can carry.
Covers the team through both halves of the work, the strategy phase that settles offer, segment and price, then the operators who execute it. Sized to the people actually working rather than to a package.
Cash against the KPIs we agreed before starting. Settled at the milestone, at a round or at an exit, depending on what the company is working toward.
A stake released against those same KPIs. It suits companies carrying more risk than cash, and it can be blended with a success fee rather than standing on its own.
Which of the three, and in what proportion, follows the program you are on and what the company can carry.
Agreed in writing before any work startsWhy the split matters
A retainer keeps the team on the pitch. It does not make us rich. The success fee and the equity do, and neither pays out unless the KPIs move, which is why we push for the unglamorous work that shifts a multiple, meaning retention, payback period and forecast accuracy.

Questions
The things worth knowing before a first conversation.
Haliqq builds and runs your revenue engine as a managed service, with strategy, sales execution and marketing execution in one team. Our own prospectors, closers and marketers work inside your business, and we are measured on pipeline, conversion and retention rather than on campaigns delivered. We offer this through five solutions, each built for a different stage of your company.
An agency sells campaigns and is paid whether or not revenue moves. Haliqq owns the revenue number end to end, and most of what we earn depends on it. A retainer while the engine runs, and then a success fee, equity, or a blend of the two, tied to KPIs set before we start. We also run sales execution, which agencies do not.
It depends on what you already have. If you want a clear plan your own team will run, Growth Blueprint. If you have no growth leader, or a team that is not performing, Growth Leadership. If you want the whole function run for you, Growth Team. If you need new accounts won against a target, Growth Closers. If you are launching and still doing it all yourself, Growth Founder. Not sure? We work it out with you on the first call.
Case by case. There is no standard price. A retainer covers the embedded team, and on top of it sits the upside, which is a success fee, equity, or a blend of the two, tied to KPIs agreed before we start. The balance follows the solution you choose, the program you are on and what the company can carry, and it is settled in writing before any work starts.
Technology companies whose revenue has to be closed by a person rather than closing itself. AI, fintech, healthtech and marketplaces are the common ones, and a marketplace counts whether its buyers are businesses or consumers, because the supply side is still sold. Five programs, from Launch through Traction, Momentum and Scale to Enterprise. We are based in Riyadh and focused on Saudi Arabia, with GCC expansion work where a client is ready for it.
Usually yes. The sectors are examples rather than a list. The test is the motion. If your revenue is closed by a person in a conversation, the engine is the same one, whatever the category is called. If your revenue arrives entirely self-serve, with nobody in the loop, we are the wrong firm and we will say so on the first call.
Diagnosis comes first, then architecture, then execution. How long each takes depends on the state of what is already there and on how much of the engine we are running, and we scope it with you before anything is signed. Compounding gains come from the cycles after the first one.
Yes. Outreach, discovery calls, proposals and customer conversations are Arabic-first where the market requires it, including local-dialect creative and the channels your buyers actually answer on. Enterprise and government-adjacent sales in the Kingdom are rarely won in English alone.

Technology companies are bought, funded and diluted against enterprise value, not against sales. Enterprise value has two terms, and revenue is only the first one. Most operating plans are built to move that term and are silent on the other, which is why so much effort produces so little value.
The definition
Enterprise value is revenue multiplied by a second term. The first is the money that arrived this year. The second is what a buyer is willing to pay for each riyal of it, and it is a compressed judgment about whether that money will still be there next year, whether it is compounding, and what it cost to acquire.
Both terms are growth. A company that raises the second one without selling anything new is worth more at the end of the year, and it grew. A company that raises the first while the second falls is busier and cheaper.
The terms also behave differently. Revenue is additive, so new sales add value at the margin. The multiple is applied to every riyal of the base, so a change there revalues income you already have.
Scroll the chart sideways. Only the left box appears on most operating plans.
Where a year of value comes from
Break a year of value creation into its sources and the split is rarely what the plan assumed. Selling more adds value in proportion to what you sold. Improving retention, margin or payback revalues the entire base, including every riyal booked in earlier years that is still renewing.
That is not an argument against selling. It is an argument that the two are different instruments, and that a plan built only on the first one is working the smaller of the two.
Scroll the chart sideways. Illustrative shape. The proportions differ by company, the direction rarely does.
The second term in detail
A multiple is not a mood. It compresses four judgments, and each one can be worked on directly without selling a single extra account.
Net revenue retention is the base. It decides whether last year is a floor you build on or a hole you refill. Growth rate is read against that base rather than in isolation, which is why the same percentage means different things at different retention levels.
Gross margin decides what growth is worth once delivery is paid for. Payback period decides how quickly the money spent winning a customer comes back and can be spent again, which is what turns growth from an expense into an engine.
Scroll the chart sideways. Illustrative weights. The order is what holds across companies.
What to do about it
Sales growth still matters. It is simply one of the two terms, and the one most companies already know how to work.
Put retention, gross margin and payback period on the same page as revenue in the monthly, at the same size. A number that is never reviewed is a number nobody owns, and these three are usually owned by nobody in particular.
Before approving a discount, a channel or a large deal, ask what it does to the second term. Growth that lowers two inputs to raise one is a trade, and trades are better made deliberately than discovered at the audit.
Retention compounds through every cohort that follows it, which makes it the cheapest input to improve and the most expensive to leave alone. Acquisition spend into a leaking base fills something that empties behind you, which is why the base is worth settling first.
See it on your own figures
The calculator takes eight inputs from your own reporting and shows what a year of the same trajectory is worth against a year with the four inputs moving. Most of the difference is not extra revenue.
Insights · Playbook
Fifteen statements across the five layers of a revenue engine. Tick the ones that are true of your business today. It takes three minutes and it will tell you which layer is leaking, which is almost never the layer that gets the attention.
How to use it
Tick only what is true this week, in practice, for most deals. The value of this is entirely in being unflattering, and a score that looks good is worth nothing to anyone.
Not the best one and not the one you are proudest of. If it holds for most of the pipeline most of the time, it counts. If it only holds when a founder is in the room, it does not.
Have your head of sales and your head of marketing fill it in separately without comparing first. Where the two of you disagree on a tick is more useful than the score, because it means the thing is not written down anywhere.
Engines fail at their thinnest point, not their average. Two strong layers either side of a weak one produce less than three mediocre ones, because everything the strong layers create is lost in the middle.

Hub · Calculator
CAC, lifetime value, payback, churn, retention and the multiple they produce. Put your own figures in and see which metric is holding the number down. Not raising? The same levers move cash and payback instead of a multiple.
Before you start
Eight inputs from your own reporting, turned into the five numbers a buyer or an investor will underwrite, and then into what the company is worth twelve months from now. It takes about four minutes.
Monthly recurring revenue, average revenue per account, gross margin, and what it costs you to win one customer. Then the two that decide everything downstream, the rate at which customers leave each month and the rate at which the ones who stay spend more. Estimate where you have to, but be honest about the estimate.
Lifetime value against acquisition cost, how many months a customer takes to pay back what they cost to win, net revenue retention, and the revenue multiple those two together imply. Anything the model prints in pink is sitting below the level buyers expect, and that is the number to work on first.
Set the first seven sliders to your actuals, then move the last one. It models an uplift in growth and retention and redraws enterprise value twelve months out. The gap between the two lines is what a working engine is worth, and the figure worth sitting with is how little of that gap is extra revenue.
Revenue metrics
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with yours and watch which single input moves the valuation line furthest.
28.7M unchanged, 52.4M with the engine. Only 1.0M of the difference is extra revenue.
A directional model. Lifetime is capped at sixty months, lifetime value uses gross profit rather than revenue, and net revenue retention is compounded from monthly churn and expansion. The multiple responds to growth and retention and is bounded between 2x and 15x. Real pricing turns on sector, stage and capital markets.
Your figures, not our defaults
The model above opens on assumptions. The diagnosis rebuilds this on your actual cohort retention, acquisition costs and pipeline, and it is yours whether or not we work together.
What you sell, to whom, at what price, and through which motion. Decided with evidence rather than opinion, and settled before a riyal goes into execution.
The four decisions
Growth problems are usually strategy problems. Almost every stalled revenue engine traces back to one of four questions being unanswered, or answered by assumption and never tested.
The offer itself. What it includes, what problem it retires, and whether the market has demonstrated it will pay for that rather than merely admire it.
The segment that converts fastest and retains longest, defined tightly enough that a marketer and a closer would describe the same buyer.
Price, packaging and terms. The fastest lever most companies own, and the one most often set once and never revisited.
The acquisition motion and channel mix, chosen against cost per opportunity rather than against what worked for somebody else.
The work
Nine offerings inside the strategy layer. Every engagement uses what the diagnosis calls for, and nothing is delivered as a deck that ends at the recommendation.
Sizing the addressable market, testing demand with real buyers, and proving the offer matches what the market will actively pay for before you build the funnel around it.
Defining who converts fastest, retains longest and refers most, then cutting the segments that quietly consume the pipeline without ever closing.
The sequence for entering a market. Which segment first, through which motion, with what proof, and what has to be true before you widen it.
Structuring tiers, terms and price points to raise deal size and margin rather than volume alone, and to make the upgrade path obvious.
The differentiated narrative every channel then repeats consistently, built from what buyers actually say rather than from internal language.
The plan for predictable inbound and outbound pipeline. Which channels, at what cost per opportunity, and how they compound over time.
The stages, entry criteria, owners and handoffs that turn interest into closed revenue, designed before anyone is asked to hit a number.
Acquisition cost, lifetime value, payback period and contribution margin modelled per segment, so growth is profitable rather than merely fast.
Competitor positioning, pricing and offers mapped and monitored, then turned into objection handling that raises close rates.
Which of these you need
Almost no engagement uses all nine. The diagnosis establishes which decisions are genuinely unmade and which are already settled well enough to leave alone, so you are not paying us to re-open something that works.
Product-market fit
Product-market fit is a measurement, not a feeling. Sign-ups prove curiosity. Retention proves fit. A launch that spikes and flattens is a marketing result; a curve that starts slower and keeps climbing is a product result, and only the second one is worth pouring acquisition spend into.
We validate before we architect, because a go-to-market plan built on unproven fit simply buys you expensive churn.
Scroll the chart sideways. Illustrative. Interest can rise while fit does not.
Pricing and unit economics
Price moves faster than volume. Winning more customers takes quarters. Restructuring what you charge and how you package it can move contribution margin inside one cycle, and it compounds through every deal that follows.
We model acquisition cost, lifetime value, payback period and margin per segment, so the growth plan is judged on profit rather than on activity.
Scroll the chart sideways. Illustrative. Packaging decides which step a buyer chooses.
Scroll the chart sideways. Illustrative. Payback month and ratio are modelled per segment.
Lifetime value against acquisition cost, with payback marked, tells you whether spending more is growth or is simply buying revenue at a loss. We settle that ratio before recommending a single channel increase, and we tie our own success fee to the metrics that move it.
How it runs
From diagnosis to a plan with numbers attached. Strategy is a phase with an end date, not a retainer that runs indefinitely.
We take apart where revenue comes from today. Channels, funnel, sales motion, retention and unit economics. You get the honest read, including whether you need us at all.
Offer, segment, price and motion are settled against evidence. Where the evidence is missing we test rather than assume.
The sales process, channel plan and measurement layer are designed, and the KPIs our fee depends on are agreed in writing.
At the end of the phase
You have a plan, a sales process and the KPIs our fee depends on. From there the same people execute it. Our prospectors, closers and marketers work the numbers they helped set. No handover meeting, no reinterpretation, no gap between the plan and the team.
Questions
What companies ask before committing to a growth strategy engagement.
A growth strategy is the set of decisions that determine where revenue will come from. What you sell, which segment you sell it to, at what price and through which acquisition motion. It is not a marketing plan or a campaign calendar. Those are downstream of it, and they fail predictably when the decisions above them were never made properly.
A marketing strategy governs demand across channels, creative, messaging and spend. A growth strategy governs the whole revenue system, including the offer, pricing, the sales process and retention. Marketing strategy answers how to reach buyers. Growth strategy answers what to sell them, at what price, and whether the economics of doing so actually work.
No. It is a fixed phase with a defined output rather than a retainer that runs indefinitely. Diagnosis, then the core decisions on offer, segment and price, then the architecture of the sales process and the KPIs. Scope and end point are agreed in writing before it starts, and execution begins once it is delivered.
Yes, and we will tell you when fit is not there. Building an acquisition engine on top of unproven fit produces expensive churn. The funnel works, the customers leave, and the acquisition cost never pays back. We look at cohort retention by segment and at tested willingness to pay, rather than at sign-up totals.
The positioning and offer definition, the ideal customer profile, the pricing and packaging structure, the go-to-market sequence, the sales architecture, the unit economics model, and the agreed KPIs. All of it documented and transferable, so it holds whether or not we run the execution.
Case by case, and it depends on whether execution follows. Where it does, strategy is the opening phase of an engagement priced from a retainer, and then a success fee, equity, or a blend of the two, tied to KPIs agreed before we start. Where you want the strategy phase alone, it is a fixed-price engagement with a defined output, because a fee tied to results makes no sense when somebody else runs the plan.
You can, and some companies should. But our model is built on being paid partly for what the strategy produces, which only works if we also run it. If you want the thinking alone, we will say so honestly and price it as a fixed engagement rather than pretending the incentives are aligned.
Demand created, pipeline worked, deals closed and customers kept. Our own team inside your business, measured on revenue rather than on activity delivered.
One engine
Sales and marketing are usually bought from different suppliers, measured on different numbers and blamed for each other’s results. We run them as one system, because the buyer does not experience them separately.
Twenty-nine offerings, five layers
Grouped by what they do to revenue, not by which department would normally own them. Every engagement uses the layers the diagnosis calls for.
Buyers who do not know you exist cannot convert. Paid, organic, outbound and partner demand run together so channels feed one pipeline instead of competing for credit.
Most demand is lost between the click and the first conversation. We shorten response time, score what arrives, and route it to the right person while intent is still warm.
Our own closers run the deal, from discovery and demonstration through technical validation, pricing and negotiation. This is the layer an agency cannot staff and a consultancy will not.
The cheapest revenue is the revenue you already won. Onboarding, adoption and expansion are run as deliberately as acquisition, because payback depends on the customer staying.
Every cycle, what is not working is cut and what is working is scaled. Attribution and forecasting are built in from the start rather than reconstructed at the quarter end.
Where to begin
Most engagements start with the two layers leaking most, because closing those funds everything after them. Which two differs by business, and the diagnosis is what settles it rather than a standard package.
Who does the work
You are not buying campaign hours. You are getting named operators who sit inside your business and carry a number each.
Open conversations that would not have happened. Sequenced outbound, social selling and follow-up on inbound before the lead goes cold.
Owns meetings bookedRun the deal end to end, from discovery and demo through pricing, negotiation and the close. Carry a number, not a task list.
Owns win rateAnswer the questions that stall technical buyers, and prove the thing works before procurement asks.
Owns technical validationKeep customers live and growing. Onboarding, adoption milestones, renewals and expansion.
Owns retentionCreate and capture demand across paid, organic, owned and partner channels, judged on pipeline rather than impressions.
Owns cost per opportunityHold the system together. CRM, routing, attribution, forecasting and the dashboard everyone reports from.
Owns the numbersHow you see it
Not a monthly deck of impressions and reach. A live view of the numbers the engagement is judged on, which are the same numbers our own fee depends on.
Scroll the chart sideways. Illustrative. Metrics are agreed before the engagement starts.
Before any of this runs
Execution without a settled offer, segment and price is expensive motion. If those decisions are not made, we start there instead.
Questions
What companies want to know about handing execution to an outside team.
Growth execution is the work of running a revenue engine rather than advising on one. Creating demand, capturing and qualifying it, converting it into closed business, retaining and expanding customers, and measuring the whole system. At Haliqq it is delivered by our own prospectors, closers, technical specialists, account leads, marketers and revenue operations people, working inside your business.
Neither, and both. An outsourced sales team works the pipeline somebody else fills. A marketing agency fills a pipeline somebody else works. We run the whole engine end to end, which is why we can be measured on revenue instead of on leads delivered or campaigns shipped.
Because the handoff is where revenue is lost, and because neither supplier can be held responsible for it. When one team owns demand creation through to retention, response time, qualification criteria and follow-up stop being somebody else’s problem, and the attribution argument disappears.
Yes. Our team works in your CRM, your inbox domains and your channels, under your brand. Everything they build, from sequences to playbooks to dashboards, is documented in your systems and stays with you.
Execution begins once diagnosis and architecture are delivered. Pipeline moves before conversion and retention do, because the later two depend on cohorts that have had time to mature. We set the expected shape of that curve with you during architecture rather than promising it in advance.
Case by case. A retainer covers the embedded team, and on top of it sits the upside, tied to KPIs agreed before we start. The upside is a success fee, equity, or a blend of the two, tied to KPIs agreed before we start. The mix moves with the program you are on and with how much of the engine we are running, and it is settled in writing before any work starts.
You keep it. The playbooks, sequences, scoring rules, dashboards and process documentation live in your systems throughout, not in ours. The goal is an engine your own team can run, and we say so at the start rather than when you ask.
Every engine has a ceiling. Once the current line is running properly, the next number has to come from somewhere it does not come from today. New segments, new markets, new revenue models. We find them, prove them, and sell them.
The boundary
We are not a product firm and we do not write code. Innovation here means finding revenue the company is not yet earning, not designing the thing that earns it. You build. We prove the market will pay, then go and sell it.
Which segment, which market, which model, and what it is worth. Tested against real buyers rather than argued in a room.
Our own closers take the new line to market before anyone commits headcount or a roadmap quarter to it.
No specs, no architecture, no feature authorship. What we hand your product team is evidence, and the decision stays theirs.
The four vectors
Growth past the current ceiling arrives through one of four routes. Most companies pursue the one the founder finds most interesting rather than the one the evidence supports.
Verticals and buyer types the product already serves but the company does not sell to. Usually the cheapest line to open, because nothing has to be built.
Geographic expansion. A market where the offer holds, with the local qualification, first meetings and pipeline that justify an entity before the payroll arrives.
How the money is made rather than what is sold. Packaging, tiering, recurring against project, usage pricing, partner and reseller routes.
What the pipeline already tells you. Lost-deal reasons, refused prices, the requirement that keeps blocking deals. Handed to your product team as evidence, not as a specification.
The work
Six offerings inside the innovation layer. Which ones apply depends on where the ceiling actually is, and nothing here starts before the current engine is running and measured.
Identifying adjacent buyer types the product already serves, testing them with live outbound, and proving conversion and retention before the segment is added to the plan.
Sizing a new geography, testing the offer with real buyers there, and building the first pipeline. The evidence comes before the entity, the office and the first hires.
Changing how revenue is earned rather than what is sold. Recurring against project, usage against seat, services attached to licence, and what each does to margin and retention.
New tiers, bundles and add-ons built from what existing customers already pay extra for, opening expansion revenue without a single new logo.
Resellers, integrators and platform partners as a second acquisition path, with the commercial terms and the enablement that make the channel actually sell.
Lost-deal reasons, refused prices and blocked requirements assembled into a read on what the market will pay for next. Your product team decides what to do with it.
When this starts
Innovation is not an entry point. It needs a working motion underneath it and live pipeline data to read, which means it follows execution rather than replacing it. A company still trying to make its first line repeatable should be nowhere near a second one.
How it runs
A new line is opened the same way the first one was proven. Nothing is committed to headcount, roadmap or a market entity until a real buyer has said yes at a real price.
We take apart the pipeline we are already running. Which segments convert cheaply, what deals were lost on, what buyers asked to pay for and could not. The candidate lines come out of the data rather than out of a workshop.
The strongest candidate is taken to market as a live offer. Real outreach, real conversations, real pricing. The result is a closed deal, a refused price, or a clear no, and any of the three is useful.
Lines that convert get folded into the running engine with their own KPIs. Lines that do not get closed down quickly, before they quietly consume a roadmap quarter and a hiring plan.
How we are paid for it
The same structure as everything else. A retainer while the work runs, and a success fee, equity, or a blend, tied to KPIs agreed before anything starts. Here those KPIs are specific to the new line: first closed deal in the segment or market, revenue from lines that did not exist at signing, or expansion revenue from new packaging.
Questions
What companies ask before opening a second revenue line.
It is the work of opening revenue a company does not earn today. A segment it does not sell to, a market it is not in, a way of charging it does not use, or an unmet requirement the pipeline keeps revealing. It is commercial work rather than technical work, and it sits after the current engine is running rather than alongside it.
No. We are not an engineering or product firm and we do not claim to be. What we contribute is demand-side evidence and the commercial motion around it. If the answer to a new line is that something has to be built, your team builds it, and we bring the proof that the market will pay for it before that decision is made.
Strategy settles what you sell today, to whom and at what price. Innovation asks where the next line comes from once that one is running and instrumented. The difference is sequence and data. Strategy is decided before execution begins. Innovation is read out of the pipeline execution has already generated.
Generally no, and we will say so. The value here comes from reading live pipeline we are already running, and from being able to test a new line with our own closers within days. Without execution underneath it, this becomes a market study, and there are cheaper places to buy one of those.
A closed deal in a segment or market that produced none at signing, revenue from packaging or a model that did not exist before, or a documented no that stopped an expensive line from being built. The KPI is set per engagement and agreed in writing, because a new line cannot be measured against the same targets as the established one.
It depends on the vector. A new segment can produce a first closed deal inside a normal sales cycle, because nothing has to be built. A new geography takes longer, since qualification and trust have to be established first. A model or packaging change can move expansion revenue inside one cycle. We will tell you which of those you are actually buying before it starts.
Then we close it down and say so. That outcome is part of the point. A tested no costs a few weeks of outbound; an untested yes costs a hiring plan, a roadmap quarter and the focus of the team that was already working.
