Sales In Your Software Development – Sales Executed More Effectively

Have you noticed that every software development company in the market today is looking for ways to improve scalability and increase revenue? Well, you’re not wrong: It’s currently one of the top three subjects occupying the minds of entrepreneurs and founders in this sector of the IT industry.

Despite the mindshare, some find themselves stuck believing that investment in sales isn’t an effective way to accomplish their goals. Not so! A common factor setting apart organizations who scale from those who stay constrained is a specialized sales development team.

 

Sales In Your Software Development Company

 

Many software development companies have built a sales function only to see it under-perform. Following this, they lose any focus on sales, despite knowing it serves as the backbone for a successful business. Instead, founders may concentrate their efforts on HR, engineering, product development, and other areas, while neglecting sales.

Smart CEOs and CTOs, however, understand that amped sales in a software solutions company are responsible not only for increasing revenue but also revealing the path to clearer market understanding and expansion.

What does it mean if you focus all your efforts on other processes?

Well, typically, if you are not making the most of sales, you have a smaller surplus available to reinvest or to smooth cash flow, which translates to an inability to pursue new opportunities as they arise or invest in R&D.

Essentially, your path forward becomes constrained, therefore, increasing the risk of diminishing revenues creating cash-flow issues and other avoidable problems.

Recognizing sales and marketing as vital for long term health means software solution companies can make well-informed choices when balancing sales alongside other corporate functions.

Why Is Sales Important to Your Corporate Structure?

Companies may get to a point where they’re struggling to push revenue beyond the $10 M mark. What we’ve learned is that many are still battling with their sales cycle, while their primary focus is production, a combination that results in very little energy left for sales and marketing. And, worse still, this may be accompanied by the belief that the product they have developed is so good it will sell itself.

Experience shows that this idea is rarely accurate. However, technically effective a product or software solution is, it also requires significant market understanding and a well-thought-out sales strategy to propel its popularity.

If you don’t know your market, then who are you creating the products for?

A specialized sales development team will shine a spotlight on market understanding and give shape to the strategy your business needs to succeed.

Corporate Development As A Tool For Stronger Business Growth

 

Or, maybe you’re ready to go one step further? At Wave Growth, we believe corporate development is a fundamental skill for driving business expansion. Why? Because corporate development allows companies to make the first move and take effective actions when faced with competition, threats, and weaknesses.

It also enables the evaluation of potential partners and strategic transactions. Corporate development allows for increased sales in your company while, in turn, shielding you from possible threats.

As we have seen, companies new to the market struggle finding a balance between production and sales. Corporate development helps you create harmony between the two.
