Ohne messbaren Mehrwert, kein Enterprise Sales. Klingt abgedroschen, ist aber so 😜 Wer dies sehr greifbar und mit konkreten Beispielen erläutert, ist Marc Funk - Gründer von Frontnow. Seine Generative AI-Lösung ermöglicht eine bedürfnisorientierte Kundenberatung und steigert damit messbar die Conversion Rate und den Warenkorbwert. Die Zielkunden von Frontnow sind große Handelskonzerne, insbesondere solche, die Schwierigkeiten haben, ihren USP aus dem stationären Handel in den Onlinehandel zu übertragen. Das Unternehmen setzt stark auf Veranstaltungen und Messen, um potenzielle Kunden zu erreichen. Zudem arbeitet Front Now mit Partnern zusammen, um das Produkt mitzuverkaufen. - Du hast Lust auf mehr?

Anfang August ist mein GTM-Buch "𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐲 𝐅𝐥𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬: Go-to-Market-Strategien für Start-ups mit sich selbst beschleunigendem Wachstum" erschienen und sofort zum Bestseller aufgestiegen. Ab sofort erhältlich bei Amazon und im ausgewählten Fachhandel.

Earlier this month I had a chat with Kirstie Pickering from Maddyness UK where I shared some thoughts on our approach at Peak. In a nutshell 👉🏻 we want to be the investors we would have loved to have had as founders. Go-to-market strategy is crucial for early-stage startups, and we focus on helping founders get their sales and marketing machines up and running. It's not just about capital—it's about offering real operational support, from hiring to GTM execution. 💡 We're 100% founder-backed and we're ex-founders ourselves so we've been in the trenches. This experience enables us to ask the right questions, provide sparring feedback, and connect founders with the right people when needed. 🤸🏻 Quote, unquote: You don’t always know what works and what doesn’t when you build a company, but we want to see the right ingredients that could lead to this answer. Most importantly: we don’t build the company for founders—we help them build it themselves. It’s all about guiding, asking the right questions, and being a partner every step of the way.
