The PGN Producer Success Story
"🐦 PGN introduced a sales system designed for us. Quality opportunities and first meetings came in very fast and after 2 months of cooperation we already see two of those closing.”
Miha Jurgec, Managing Director and Co-owner of LANCom d.o.o.
Business Challenge
The company’s most critical issue was the need to acquire new profitable projects for the LANCom PIS software solution and meet growth targets in order to increase profitability.
Reasons
-
They had their software developed but were missing an effective sales force to sell in foreign markets;
-
They did not manage to find potential clients with projects already in their pipeline fast enough;
-
They were using three different partnership models but none of them was proven to be successful.
Needs and Solution
Miha Jurgec, said that LANCom would succeed if they partnered with someone who could:
-
Identify target markets and suitable potential clients based on predefined criteria;
-
Proactively find local partners and clients with existing business challenges, which would bring in profitable projects;
-
Establish a sales system to appropriately address the target audience together with local partners.
🐦PGN offered one of a kind partnership, which included the needed development and membership in the global network.
Results
-

Testimonials
“I am a 🐦 PGN SME developer for Middle East. 🐦 PGN gave me a very well defined and structured sales system and methodology. When I got LANCom’s project I knew exactly what type of Partner (Seller) they are looking for and what to discuss on the first meeting. Within a month I have identified 1 Partner (Seller) and 2 potential projects with that Partner (Buyers)."
Andreja Blatnik, SME developer, 🐦 PGN Middle East
