EARLY-STAGE B2B COMPANIES
Missing sales targets can be a nerve-racking experience for any early-stage company, and can ultimately put your business in jeopardy.
B2B and SaaS startups that have difficulties growing may find themselves simply not doing enough outreach, not differentiating themselves enough from their competition, and not being easy enough to find. As a result, these companies fail to hit revenue targets, expand their customer base, and ultimately grow their business.
What are the other main reasons early-stage B2B and SaaS companies fail to expand their customer base and to achieve their revenue objectives, you ask?
THE PROBLEMS:
Only 47% of B2B companies have generally aligned sales and marketing teams.
A majority of product-led companies and technical founders have an insufficient amount of time, skills, or interest in dedicating their efforts in building a sales/marketing strategy that works.
42.5% of sales representatives require 10 months or more to become productive enough to contribute to company goals.
SaaS Companies with a self-service model fail to break into mid-market and enterprise-level accounts due to a lack in expertise and resources.
80% of sales require 5 follow-up calls after the meeting. 44% of sales reps give up after 1 follow-up
Whether you have struggled with business development in the past, or don’t really have a culture that supports internal sales, I can help grow your business for less than the cost of a full-time sales team.
