In the Start-Up Plus service, we grow the sales and marketing skills of new entrepreneurs. We start by mapping out your needs, after which we create an individual plan for the following meetings. In face-to-face or remote meetings, you will get sparring to develop your sales and marketing expertise, and based on the meetings, we will compile a development plan for your company. In addition, you can deepen your expertise in follow-up meetings. The service is avialable in English, Finnish, Swedish and Russian.
Our goal is that after the service, your company has the necessary knowledge and skills for business, sales, and marketing expertise, as well as the prerequisites for growth.
You’ll learn to create a target group-based marketing plan, utilise various channels and digital marketing, as well as get to know marketing metrics.
You create growth with the fundamentals of sales (interaction, argumentation, and closing). By managing sales efficiently you make sales profitable.
You will adopt the basics of productisation, service design, pricing, and testing. You will also learn to utilise feedback
You will become familiar with building a clear customer journey, the (new) customer’s buying process, and customer relationship management, which help you create long-lasting customer relationships.
You will learn to set clear and relevant goals and metrics to support growth. Planning and goal orientation are prerequisites for growth.
The Start-Up Plus service is divided into five content modules. The time spent on the modules will be tailored according to your needs.
After registration, we will schedule a time for the initial assessment, where we will map out your needs and wishes related to the service. We plan individual counseling for your company that addresses your current challenges in sales and marketing. In addition to counseling, you will have the opportunity to participate in four follow-up meetings according to your needs.
Together, we create a tailored and individual package from the service content modules. The counseling includes, for instance, learning to execute result-driven sales and marketing, along with the fundamentals of lucrative business operations. Based on the counseling, a written development plan is prepared, which includes, among other things, an analysis of the company’s current situation and development targets, a plan for the next development steps, and action recommendations to promote growth.
If you need further counseling on the service themes, we can deepen your expertise in customised follow-up meetings. The goal of the meetings is to support the implementation of the development plan. We ensure that your company receives the assistance it needs from the service and help identify further paths for your company’s development needs.
