Organizational Silos & Cross-Functional Collaboration Gaps
Definition
Only 20% of professional services firms (base case likely similar for admin services) have cross-functional sales support teams. This means 80% operate in silos: sales, service delivery, and operations don't coordinate effectively. For SMB admin services firms, this creates inefficiencies: clients aren't sold expanded services they need, delivery teams don't communicate with sales about upsell opportunities, operations can't optimize workflows across service lines. The result is revenue leakage (missed upsells), service delivery surprises (unstaffed specialties), and client churn. Breaking silos requires organizational change, tool implementation (unified CRM, PSA software), and process redesign.
