Stratalinx is All About Sales and Revenue Acceleration for Growth Companies
Software | Services | Entrepreneurship | RevenueTechnology Sales Veterans | Champions of Growth
Our core team has over 100 years of successfully selling to and building businesses in Technology Services, Software Platforms, IT Infrastructure and Support and with other unique companies focusing on specific verticals – SMB to Enterprise Customers.
This experience and success led us to realizing there was a significant market for helping other technology companies by leveraging the tools and best practices that we've used so successfully elsewhere.
Combined with a strong adoption of fractional experts and a shifting workplace paradigm, we realized there was an opportunity to package the sales tools, expertise and techniques that have made us successful and provide them as a service to other growth companies. This layering of sales and revenue enhancing assets became Stratalinx.
We Solve Common Growth Challenges
Strategy | Messaging | Outreach | Hiring | Training | Systems | Compensation | Measurement | RetentionMany startups, along with small and medium technology companies, struggle to build and optimize their sales teams to maximize pipeline, closed deals and time-to-revenue.
Owners end up “doing everything,” but there’s always more to do. Leadership is trying to build the business and end up selling all the deals.
Meanwhile, the sales team is missing the strategic structure, messaging, platforms, measurement, and guidance to be successful.
Building an internal inside sales team is expensive; recruiting, onboarding, training, management, systems, data, AI expertise and retention with a statistically high dropout rate. We eliminate those problems by providing the option of outsourcing all of it to us.
Our Solutions Help Drive Your Goals
Strategic Review | Artificial Intelligence | Social Media | Messaging | Sales Revenue | Sales Velocity | Sales Structure | ApproachStratalinx is purpose-built to help with all of these areas - a portion or more - depending on your specific needs.
