Sales and Marketing Performance and Optimization

Sales and marketing is an area of cloudy water, typically a marketing campaign is difficult to asses and quantify and sales staff can be rather allof if not managed correctly. Still, there are ways to ensure you are spending your money wisely and ways to ensure our sales teams behave. The focus always has to be on how we manage our customer base as this can be the most productive area to start, and is often overlooked. The easiest sale we can make is to an existing customer, the hardest sale we can make it to convert a competitors customer.

Realising True Business Value

Realising true business value is about being best in class and being ready to move when the timing is right. It is often said that timing is everything, and this holds true for a business exit. If you can change your business in to a performing, optimised company then you are well on your way to realising the value in your company. The difference between value and true value is in what you have to offer above the standard industry stream player and when you are going to offer it.

We aim to cover

Optimization - What's left to do, the process of diminishing returns

Exit Timing - When is the opportune time to sell your business

Who will give us the best exit in terms of value

Who will give us the best exit in terms of personal requirements
