Start with the task, not the provider
The phrase ‘we need sales’ can describe two very different tasks. One may require a single primary contact with each company and a clearly recorded response. Another requires the team to send the proposal, follow up, discuss questions and objections, and secure a concrete next action. The work format, team and result criteria depend on this distinction.
When a call centre is enough, and when an external B2B team is needed
A call centre suits repeatable tasks with a short, predefined scenario, such as service communication, data confirmation or handling inbound requests. Lead Generation Unit is used for one substantive primary contact and a clear status for each company. Closer Team can be engaged independently: it navigates gatekeepers, reaches the right representative, prepares the proposal and manages the subsequent negotiations.
What a strong sales-development project includes
Work begins before the first outreach. The team studies the product, market, competitors, client experience and the reasons the offer may matter to a buyer. It then agrees the target segments and participant roles and prepares the arguments, conversation logic and commercial materials. This lets the manager discuss the company’s actual task instead of reading a generic script.
What the client should prepare
The client provides accurate product information, strengths, constraints and use cases. Prices, discounts, timing, payment, delivery and contract terms must be approved internally. AXCEND works within those boundaries and transfers requests requiring an individual calculation or legal decision to the client’s authorised employee with full context.
How to understand a 2–5% guarantee
In B2B, a meaningful guarantee concerns an agreed project result, not call volume. AXCEND assesses the market, product, project volume and complexity before an individual benchmark can be written into the agreement, usually 2% to 5% qualified B2B negotiations from the agreed number of project companies. The criteria are defined in advance. This is not a universal promise of a signed contract.
How to approach a new country
A new market is more than a new language. Business rhythm, industry structure, intermediaries and paths to relevant company representatives can differ across Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Each market therefore requires separate assessment of segments, communication language, arguments and team composition.
Questions to ask before launch
Clarify which result is recorded, how often the team follows up, whether proposal preparation and sending are included, how questions and objections are handled, and when a request is transferred to your employee. These answers make the difference between primary contact and ongoing B2B negotiations clear.
