With Europe opening up again, many tech and software companies are keen to re-ignite or accelerate their sales and marketing activities, but are unsure how to proceed in the post-COVID, ‘new normal’ world.
Many startups took measures early to reduce the impact of the lockdown. They have cut costs, without cutting muscle, they continued to invest in core R&D activities and attained key personnel. Many also continued their sales and marketing efforts, since they understood that it was crucial to remain visible to their clients and prospects, although the messaging may have been a bit different than before.
Now, with business getting back into full swing, how should your startup adapt, in an effective and cost-efficient way? Should additional sales staff be hired, new offices opened, or distribution networks expanded? Should you invest in online marketing, activate lead generation campaigns and build a team of SDR’s to follow up on qualified prospects? Many of the available options are costly, whereas the return on investment is still unclear.
An interesting alternative may be to work with a company like Aexus.
