BPO – Outsourced Sales and Marketing Case Study

Selling to Fortune 500 SVPs and Management and SMB owners.

Company is a mid-sized outsourced BPO services firm supporting specific financial services functions for the real estate industry with facilities in Manila and India.  Company and 20 year sales partner parted ways with Senior Executives retirement. Company needed to take over all account management responsibilities while simultaneously building its own direct sales process and infrastructure.

Company needed a complete sales and marketing solution. Executives had deep industry domain expertise and wanted to acquire sales and marketing strategy expertise and to avoid a 300K investment in enterprise reps with an outsourced sales and marketing solution first.

  • Complexity of the sale and solution would require hiring 150K – 200K full comp reps and would take over a year to train.
