About The Company

We help B2B sales managers, sales people and senior executives in businesses selling technical products – especially big-ticket offerings with complex buy cycles. In this challenging environment. the extended sales team aims to achieve revenue targets, be profitable, and forecast order levels accurately. “Sales” is a big deal for growth and innovation companies. As always, the sales team is the life-blood of the company, and needs to be ready to make transitions from time to time to retain effectiveness. We provide sales enablement expertise with our unique process of advanced internal proposals.

B2B selling is something we know – very intimately. Our founders worked for many years in revenue generation roles, including sales and sales management, as well as marketing and product management. We have done everything from lead generation to selling to order fulfillment – mostly in corporate sales, and often on the road visiting prospects near and far. We eventually earned the right to help other companies learn how to sell better, in consulting and coaching roles.

Sales playbook design, forecasting, and revenue generation strategy are topics we understand.

Along the way we saw certain patterns of how sales people organize their approach to an opportunity, and how they interact with their whole company, in order to plan how scarce resources are to be used. Commonly, people with sales funnels have many of their opportunities late – they have “stalled deals.” The Product may be blamed. Understandably, popular products and categories are easier to sell. Yet, amazingly, companies with popular products often do poorly in creating profits. Deals are discounted in order to close within a time deadline, and we asked ourselves “why?”

So the management team can be faced with multiple sales challenges – inadequate win rates, late closing of key deals, weak profit margins, and poor forecast accuracy. These 4 problems, it turns out, all have the same origin – a weak sales process. We enable B2B companies to have a strong sales process.

Computers and information systems can help sales people – so when we worked with companies that employed sales automation software, we were astonished to find that CRM systems did not help sales people sell – not at all. In fact, sales people often see the software tool as a burden. It may give sales users access to basic hard data on company and contact names, with no ability to help with the soft data of sales – account strategy, progress, and insights for next step decisions. Indeed, sales team members often say “the system treats me as a data entry clerk”. Examples include entry of prospect names, addresses and contact information, and forecast updates in the form of unfounded bald estimates on “what is our % probability of winning this Deal?”

So we spent 20 years designing funnel management solutions, and delivering outstanding results – bigger orders, better margins, and much more accurate forecasting.

Our vision now is simple. Our solutions help our customers at the deal level for more revenue, at the territory level for better time usage, and at the company level for much more accurate forecasting. We also supply revenue ramp consulting services, with advanced expertise in “sales funnel management”, to help our customers enjoy a growing, highly profitable business.
