Our Vision & Mission
Entrepreneurs have the potential to change our world for the better by solving real-world problems with the launch, growth and scaling of new business models, technologies, products and services.
We contribute to a better world by helping entrepreneurs become and remain successful through flexible, affordable, no bullshit sales support.
Our Company Values
- Bottom-Line Impact: We do, build and invest into what we need to profitably help committed entrepreneurs accelerate revenue growth. Nothing more, nothing less.
- Humble hustling: We make things happen and push the limits, but own our decisions, actions and results. Leaders eat last, focus on team success.
- Swiss Quality & Excellence: We deliver on what we promise. On time, in Swiss Quality, with local people. We want to be #1 at what we do in our field.
- Radical transparency and integrity: We have no secrets, do what we say and say what we do. We are aware this is simple in theory, but not easy to sustain in practice.
- Collaboration before competition: We focus on long-term relationships with customers, employees and partners, even if foregoing short-term benefits.
- Strive for mastery, remain a student: We are committed to become 1% better every day and help others with kindness and compassion to do the same
Our Perspective & Mindset
Our “Sales State of the Nation” is far from great and most great sales people are working in large corporates. Or they are sales trainers for these corporates and SMEs since it is easier and more profitable than helping startups hit Product-Market-Fit and scale up sales faster without hiring expensive sales reps.
We are a couple of committed, hungry, purpose-driven sales people, many of them entrepreneurs themselves with a sincere commitment to help founders succeed.
