The Sales Block focuses on among things on segmentation, value proposition design, sales funnel design, CRM implementation and behavioural economics. We recognize that the peculiarities of a complex environment such as B2B present an unique set of challenges for both first-time as well as serial entrepreneurs. Confidently navigating the sales process and/or the partner acquisition process in a complex environment can represent the difference between efficiency and mounting overhead costs.
