Few words about b2b pre-sales in the real world.
What makes B2B pre-sales successful for small vs. large companies? Always refine pre-sales processes and approaches to drive better results. 🔹 Small Companies (SMB): - Focus on quick results and lower costs. - Emphasis on personalized communication. - Faster decision-making, but limited resources. 🔹 Large Companies (Enterprise): - Complex decision-making cycles due to multi-level structures. - Greater focus on risk management and legal compliance. - Need for scalable, long-term solutions, as well as have wider capabilities. When preparing a proposal for SMBs, extra steps or complexities expected in enterprise processes can often be unnecessary. Keep it simple and focused. On the flip side, when large company teams prepare proposals for smaller, more dynamic clients, the added layers of "complexity" can create confusion and seem redundant. And one more thing... when I talk to people involved in pre-sales, their core specialization often shines through. A great reminder that successful pre-sales is not about templates but about understanding your client’s unique needs.

𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞-𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. 🔹 What is pre-sales? Pre-sales is the stage following the initial client contacts made by salespeople or business developers, where the focus shifts to gaining a deeper understanding of the client’s needs and preparing a tailored proposal. 📍 It begins with receiving a client’s request or brief. 📍 It ends with aligning on a solution and signing the contract. 🔹 Is it part of the project lifecycle? PRINCE2 and PMBOK do not define pre-sales as a separate phase, but it precedes the official initiation stages: ✔️ Starting Up a Project (PRINCE2). ✔️ Initiating Process Group (PMBOK). The outcomes of the pre-sales phase serve as a foundation for these stages. 🔹 Why is pre-sales key to the success of IT outsourcing projects? 1️⃣ Understanding client needs. Pre-sales enables a thorough understanding of business requirements and allows for the development of solutions that align with the client’s goals. 2️⃣ Building trust. It’s the stage where the first impressions are formed, setting the groundwork for a long-term partnership. 3️⃣ Reducing risks. A well-executed pre-sales process helps identify potential challenges related to resources, timelines, or budgets. Pre-sales isn’t just about “getting the contract signed”—it’s about building the foundation for a successful partnership.

Clients often express reluctance to include a Project Manager (PM) as part of the vendor’s delivery team. As a service provider, it is crucial to address this concern, as the PM role plays a significant role in ensuring project success. Clients may view the PM role as an unnecessary expense, especially when they believe they can manage the project themselves or if they feel the project processes are already well-defined. Here are some strategies to address these concerns: Leverage real-world examples Sharing success stories where PMs have helped avoid budget overruns, missed deadlines, or disorganized processes can be highly persuasive. Including data to support these stories can further strengthen your argument: "In Project X, introducing a PM resulted in a 20% increase in commitment rates, stabilized velocity, and improved NPS by one point." Position the PM as part of the service offering Providing clients with the option to choose teams with or without a PM can highlight the potential differences in outcomes and risks. Alternatively, incorporating the PM into the service package can present the role as part of the overall value, thereby not adding additional costs. Propose a trial period Allowing clients to work with a PM during a specific project phase or as part of a pilot program can demonstrate the role’s value in a low-risk environment, helping to alleviate concerns. Emphasize benefits over roles Clients often prioritize results over the specific roles involved. Therefore, it is important to focus on how a PM can save time, reduce risks, and provide stability. For example: - Time savings: Without a PM, clients may have to manage processes themselves, which consumes valuable time and resources. - Risk reduction: A PM can identify and address potential issues early on, preventing costly problems down the line. By focusing on the benefits and presenting tangible evidence of value, service providers can effectively demonstrate the importance of the PM role

The end of this year’s business activities is just a week and a half away, and it’s time to look ahead. While we often consider the IT world to be agile, the reality is that most clients operate on rigid annual planning cycles. Clients' budgeting decisions directly impact the state of the IT market. Over the last two years, transformational budgets have been frozen, with clients focusing heavily on cost optimization. 🗓 January 1st marks the start of the new financial year (for most). What can we expect? Corporate business remains cautious: geopolitical conflicts and U.S. elections are keeping the market tense. As a result, businesses will continue prioritizing cost reduction, leading to challenges in European and U.S. markets. At the same time, the AI hype is putting pressure on companies to show they’re moving in this direction to avoid falling behind competitors. Gartner has already identified the main tech theme for 2024 as "AI imperatives and risks drive organizations to protect themselves." This means businesses will start allocating budgets for AI projects, and demand in this sector is expected to grow. 🔮 What trends do you see? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Bridging Cultural Gaps in IT teams. It’s always a pleasure to have the opportunity to share knowledge and bring value to teams! In the IT industry, where specialists often work in international, multicultural environments, success requires more than just hard skills. It’s about the ability to collaborate effectively with others. Great results come from teams that share synergy, understanding, and a common vision. However, cultural differences can sometimes hinder this process. We were thrilled to deliver a training session for Svitla Systems, Inc. on Bridging Cultural Gaps: Tips for Seamless Global Teamwork. Grateful for the trust, the invitation, and the positive feedback. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such an amazing team! 🚀 Companies that recognize the importance of effective communication and support their employees in mastering it deserve special respect. 💡 #Teamwork #CulturalDiversity #ITTraining #GlobalCollaboration

At Results Elevator, we specialize in helping IT businesses and startups refine their processes and team structures to scale effectively and drive sustainable growth in global markets. Through practical consulting and training, we work alongside you to tailor engagement models that maximize productivity and optimize your budget. Want to explore which engagement model fits your needs? Let’s connect!
Engagement Models. Continue my story about Cost Optimization in IT Outsourcing. Choosing the right engagement model is key for businesses looking to optimize budgets while maintaining high-quality outcomes. Engagement models structure how clients collaborate with vendors. It describes the split of responsibilities influencing cost structure, as well as communication, risk management, and escalation processes etc. Here's a look at key models and their cost-saving benefits to play with: Staff Augmentation Integrates individual specialists into the client’s existing team, offering flexible scaling of resources as needs change. Cost Benefits for Clients: - No recruitment overhead or permanent salaries; pay only for needed expertise. - Manage staff as your team and avoid service fees. Dedicated Team A team working exclusively on a client’s project, ideal for long-term needs requiring specialized skills. Cost Benefits: - Predictable stable costs. - High productivity and reduced onboarding costs. - Stable collaboration, minimizing errors and improving timelines. Capacity-based or Managed capacity It is quite similar to the previous one but slightly different in its nature. The vendor provides a fixed capacity of resources (e.g., developers, QA specialists) on demand, ensuring consistent output and stable fees. Cost Benefits: - Flexible resource allocation, reducing bench costs. - Scales with project needs, avoiding excess costs. Services-based or Managed Services Full responsibility for specific IT functions is transferred to the vendor, ideal for ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Cost Benefits: - Predictable, optimized costs over time-based on required services. - Frees internal teams to focus on core functions. Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) The vendor builds and operates a team or facility, later transferring it to the client. Common for new markets or scaling operations. Cost Benefits: - Low initial investment with vendor expertise upfront. - Minimizes risk during the setup phase. Engagement and Pricing Models are not the same: - Pricing Models define how you pay (e.g., hourly, fixed fee). - Engagement Models define how you work together (roles, split of responsibilities, and collaboration structure). Understanding the right engagement model can drive savings while enhancing performance, ensuring leaner, more efficient operations tailored to your needs. #ITOutsourcing #Costs #Engagement

We visited the #WebSummit last week and experienced an incredible mix of activities, insights, and meetings. The event featured 5 exhibition pavilions with 16 stages, plus the Main Stage, showcasing hundreds of startup stands and country booths. This year, the summit welcomed an impressive 70,000 attendees. The dominant trend this year? Without a doubt, it's AI. Around 90% of startups included “AI” in their product descriptions, and there were countless talks and discussions around it. Some see it as just hype, while others believe AI's potential is still undervalued. Time will tell. Since we specialize in helping IT companies and startups set up effective processes to scale and grow, and we have extensive experience working with international teams and clients, we had many engaging conversations, made great connections, and walked away with plenty of fresh ideas!

👻 Are Governance Steering Meetings Your Halloween Nightmare? 🎃 Let's face it – governance steering meetings can feel scarier than Halloween itself! They’re tough to prepare for with endless details on project tasks, risks, and releases, and often a bore to sit through. But with the right focus, they don’t have to be. Here’s a trick to make them less spooky and more engaging: 🎯 Instead of just piling on data, try focusing on one main takeaway that aligns with your client’s goals. It’ll make prep easier for you and keep the meeting engaging (no costumes required)! 🕸️ If your client chose you for your cost-effectiveness, show them concrete ways you’re saving them money. If they value your expertise, highlight how you're applying, growing, and preserving knowledge that directly benefits their business. When your message hits home, even the most haunted meetings can become productive (and maybe a little less scary)! #projecgovernance #projectmanagement #portfoliomanagement #clientrelations #reporting
