In addition to its core product, a SaaS platform for supplier management, it planned to introduce consulting services in the same area. We shared our experiences of launching a consulting firm and advised against this move for Logintrade due to the challenges in scaling such a business. By opening consulting services as a new business line, the board members, being the most experienced in the field, would have had to dedicate their time to it. Even assuming other employees would eventually carry out the consulting service, their training would still require the board's involvement. - [15% more recurring revenue and 2 x less customer churn](https://casbeg.com/case-study/kaman-more-recurring-revenue/) - [Implementation and optimization of sales processes](https://casbeg.com/case-study/plona-consulting-sales-processes/) - [MTA Digital – continuation of the 2019 case study](https://casbeg.com/case-study/mta-digital/) - [Laying the foundation for scaling sales for simpl.rent](https://casbeg.com/case-study/simplrent/) - [11.27% of meetings scheduled from social selling campaign – FUZERS case study](https://casbeg.com/case-study/fuzers/) - [White Bits case study – taking the upselling process to the next level](https://casbeg.com/case-study/white-bits/) - [Improving product profitability for Intenson](https://casbeg.com/case-study/intenson/) - [Business Model Canvas workshops at Makeitright](https://casbeg.com/case-study/makeitright/): Makeitright is a company with a diverse range of services and products in its portfolio, present on the market for 8 years, and employs over 150 specialists.

I am sure that once implemented,  they will increase the effectiveness of recruitment processes you run in your company. So, how to improve YOUR recruitment process? Let's see! - [It’s hard to make a really big business from really small deals](https://casbeg.com/blog/its-hard-to-make-a-really-big-business-from-really-small-deals/): One million zlotys of annual revenue is 83,333 PLN per month. If you have a subscription-based business where your average client pays you 1000 PLN a month, you need 84 customers to have a million zloty business. If they pay 100 PLN - you need 834 of them. If the subscription fee is 10,000 PLN - it's nine. And that’s just if we assume that there will be no churn, so the case in which no customer decides to leave you all year long. I assure you, it is much easier to get and maintain nine or 84 customers than 834, even if the nine are to pay you 100 times more. It is simply a matter of finding people with a seriously acute problem, in a correspondingly strong need for a solution. As Peter Diamantis rightly pointed out: - [Why long sales cycles are a bigger problem than you think?](https://casbeg.com/blog/why-long-sales-cycles-are-a-bigger-problem-than-you-think/): B2B companies often have long sales cycles . Ours is one of the exceptions, because average length of the sales cycle for the past couple of years was 29 days. If I wasn't a selling CEO but a full-time salesperson instead, it would have been even shorter. That's because as a sales representative I would end up with an empty CRM every day — just like in the times when I was working full-time in sales team. As a result, first contact and further follow-ups would reach prospective customers on time and even the smallest promises would be delivered no matter what. Unfortunately, shortening sales cycles is not something that is easily accomplished when you are the selling CEO. Sales and marketing teams help a lot in this regard. - [Why your content marketing doesn’t generate leads](https://casbeg.com/blog/why-your-content-marketing-doesnt-generate-any-leads/): Some companies have resources to produce large amounts of diverse content but often not good enough content marketing strategy to generate leads. Poorly conducted content marketing doesn't bring tangible results such as high quality leads. In many cases it doesn't even generate increased traffic or user engagement on the company's website or landing pages. This means that the time devoted to creating lead magnets and blogposts goes to waste and lead generation content often doesn't meet target audience's needs and pain points. - [Recruiting a salesperson: what should it look like?](https://casbeg.com/blog/recruiting-a-salesperson-what-should-it-look-like/): So you want to hire a salesperson, without having to fire him during the trial period.

Here’s how.](https://casbeg.com/blog/a-mess-in-sales-creates-costs-for-the-entire-company-heres-how/): In my work, I sometimes hear: “We’ve never seriously analyzed our sales, but great people deal with customers / production, we're in the black, so we don't have to worry too much about the nuances of customer acquisition, right?” Unfortunately not. Let me explain how sales relations with other areas of the company look. Contrary to what you may believe, it's not just about structured sales meaning more cash in your account. - [Why your website doesn’t generate any leads?](https://casbeg.com/blog/why-your-website-doesnt-generate-any-leads/): Oftentimes when it turns out that leads don’t flow into the company, the first reaction is changes in marketing activities. After all, if users don’t contact the company, it means that our marketing is ineffective and doesn’t deliver the right message, or worse — it doesn’t reach the target group of the company at all. Practice shows that this is not always the case. - [How to improve the efficiency of a sales conversation](https://casbeg.com/blog/how-to-improve-the-efficiency-of-a-sales-conversation/): The first sales conversation is the moment when your company can convince or alienate a potential customer. Already then errors may appear that reduce the likelihood of acquiring this customer, sometimes to zero. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the mistakes that we most often observe in salesmen, whose work I look at for our clients. If you’re wondering whether your sales conversation (or the conversations of your salespeople) are carried out correctly, it’s possible that in the next paragraphs you will find some shortcomings that you need to pay attention to. - [Why your best salesperson could be your worst head of sales?](https://casbeg.com/blog/why-your-best-salesperson-could-be-your-worst-head-of-sales/): Zosia, who has joined the company six months ago, works on no more than one lead per month. It may turn out (but obviously doesn’t have to) that John isn’t the best salesman in the team, but works on better leads than other salespeople. If you decide that your best sales representative should manage sales in your company, make sure you select the one that really gets the best customers. - [If, when and how to hire a COO](https://casbeg.com/blog/if-when-and-how-to-hire-a-coo/): What does the Chief Operating Officer do? - [Why does your company get zero recommendations?](https://casbeg.com/blog/why-does-your-company-get-zero-recommendations/): How much better would your business work if 30% of customers recommended your services to their friends?

Wrong. See if you’re making any other mistakes.](https://casbeg.com/blog/think-your-product-will-sell-itself-abroad-wrong-see-if-youre-making-any-other-mistakes/): Your company isn’t growing as dynamically as before and you have the impression that you’ve achieved almost everything on the local market? It’s a clear sign that the time has come for foreign expansion. This process is difficult, but the right approach will significantly contribute to your success. - [Some salespeople are fired because of the CEO’s mistakes – here’s why](https://casbeg.com/blog/some-salespeople-are-fired-because-of-the-ceos-mistakes-heres-why/): If the CEO of a small company has decided that he will sell, it is only a matter of time until he realizes he’s no longer able to both sell and manage. Usually he decides then to hire someone who will “take the sales off of his shoulders”. - [The biggest mistakes you make in Enterprise sales](https://casbeg.com/blog/the-biggest-mistakes-you-make-in-enterprise-sales/): You need to know that a customer in large transactions, when several meetings are required to discuss project issues, connects the salesperson with the product or service he sells. Meaning, you need to build a relationship and leave a positive impression. A good practice to strengthen the client’s desire to build relationships is to involve a manager or sales manager in business talks (but rather at later stages of the enterprise sales cycle and in justified, larger cases).
