Burn partnered with a leading sales executive to take its sales teams to the next level
As Burn expands its sales operations from Kenya to across Africa, Burn’s top priority was increasing the sophistication and effectiveness of its sales teams as it scaled its business. Burn partnered with Rippleworks to implement best practices in sales process, procedures, and organizational structure to ensure that it is maximizing its sales capabilities.
What has stood out to me is the elite quality of the experts combined with Rippleworks’ ability to manage the projects so smoothly.
It’s a challenge to align expectations when someone is volunteering their time, but Rippleworks manages it to perfection allowing everyone to work harmoniously together towards the same goal.
We’re operating at a higher level since the project and we’d do another with them in a heartbeat.
