Varthana partnered with a leading business development expert to build a consultative sales approach to helping schools
Varthana’s top priority was developing its new “Beyond Loans” program to provide further support and provide education solutions to its network of schools. Varthana partnered with RippleWorks to develop a consultative sales process to focus on solution sales within the Beyond Loans program.

The project provided us with a framework to better understand customer needs and expand our product offerings to address them.
