# Commercial Performance

### What is it?:

Review the commercial results of the business: revenue, margin, growth, and pipeline.

***Also known as:*** *Commercial review, business performance review*

### Why it matters

Commercial Performance is the primary accountability signal for marketing. It connects activity to outcomes, showing whether the business is growing, where growth is coming from, and whether margins are sustainable. Without a clear view of commercial results, investment decisions are made without a reliable sense of what is working and what is not.

### When it matters most

Commercial Performance review is relevant at every planning and reporting cycle. It becomes particularly important when growth slows or stalls, when the business is preparing for investment or acquisition, when a new product or market entry needs to be evaluated, or when there is disagreement about where marketing is creating value.
