Consulting services
SSAAS can carry out consulting assignments in the following areas:
Corporate Strategy
“If you don’t know where you are going, how can you plan your route?”
We will analyse your corporate strategy, study the marketplace, assess the market opportunity, look at the exit strategy and report our findings simply and concisely to the Board. By having a non-emotional and non-conflicted view of the business, its current state and future potential, an investment in one of our studies is often a fabulous wake-up call.
Technology Assessment
“I have this idea for a great product”
A product idea stays as exactly that unless it can be turned into a piece of software/hardware and taken to market. We will study the idea, assess the opportunity and make recommendations as to the roadmap forward. With huge experience in taking ideas from concept to substantial exits, we can give you unbiased help in assessing whether the idea has legs. We also have capital available to fund development and hence can provide something way beyond angel investors and venture capitalists.
Sales & Marketing Assessment
“Lack of sales is the root of all evil”
Often businesses struggle to understand why a product is not achieving the sort of sales results expected and desired. Is the lack of sales due to the quality of the sales people or is it that the market has moved on, the competition has got stronger or the product has been positioned incorrectly? We will look at all aspects of the marketing and sales functions, assess the distribution methods and channels and report back with specific recommendations of the changes that are needed.
Our experience tells us it is crucial for companies to invest in sales automation tools and to implement a consistent sales methodology, to deliver predictability of future revenue. Sales training is vital to achieve this. Based on a proven methodology we can take a sales force and move the whole proposition and results up several notches by a period of intensive training, with regular follow-up clinics.
