Interim BizDev provides benefits to startups in any of these growth stages:
Stage 1: You Have Technology, but Not Much More
It is never too early to talk to customers! The right early customers can become advisors, product testers and even investors. At this stage BizDev.Global will engage with customers to enable you to:
Pick your first target market, based on conversations with customers
Define your Minimum Viable Product (MVP), which solves real problems for early adopters
Craft your story for customers and investors
Stage 2: Your Product is Nearly Ready
If you are nearing launch of your MVP, now is an excellent time to get your first customers involved. Early adopters can help you:
Refine your value proposition & ROI messages
Identify what data or product integrations are required by early adopters
Focus on the market that will grow the fastest
In Stage 2, BizDev.Global will work with your team to define target markets and usage models. We’ll then reach out to customers who match those characteristics, to start your first sales engagements.
Stage 3: Your Product is Done
If product is complete, you’ve got customers who will say your product effectively solves their problems. In Stage 3, BizDev.Global can help you prepare for volume sales:
BizDev.Global will prepare any missing sales materials (demos/web/video) and CRM tools necessary to support your initial sales process
We will immediately start sales engagements to refine the sales process and train new sales reps
BizDev.Global will help you create predictable lead flow into your new sales team, using events, media and marketing activities proven to reach your target market.
