Why do we do sales service memberships instead of typical engagement models for startups selling B2B solutions?
We have worked with many startups who hired full-time staff, part-time contractors, lead gen partners, high-paid consultants, newbie all-commission reps, mature sales reps doing all-commission very part-time, and companies who used virtual assistants to help them do sales activities.
None of these options are the right fit for early-stage startup companies in the $0-500k, $500k-$2M, or $2M-$10M range.
These companies don’t need what the market typically offers them. They need a strategic sales partner that evolves its service support as a startup grows, staying strategic at all times and maintaining a flexibility of engagement that doesn’t hurt the startup when it is in a sensitive place in terms of its stability as a company.
So, the SP4F Sales Memberships were born out of this insight. We provide annual or monthly memberships with a fee + negotiatied commission incentive to startup customers who need help figuring out sales and scaling it once they nail down their strategy with us.
