We Work Side By Side With Startup Founders

This is Sean Murphy of SKMurphy, I want to talk to you today about why startup founders choose to work with us as an advisor

We believe that everything that we do is both teachable and learnable and can be defined by principles or rules of thumb.

We work with engineers and scientists who like to see models with numbers.

We have found the best way we can assist them is working side by side, in rehearsal or preparation, in interviews or presentations or demos, and in after actions reviews.

We believe that startups selling to businesses need to target the intrapreneurs or internal change agents. They are the most likely early adopters in a firm.

I have played change agent roles in a number of large firms. I understand how they think and act and am comfortable writing, selling and working with them

We believe that selling in niche business markets is a conversation that is personal.

We have invested a lot of effort and deliberate practice to master interviewing experts and facilitating small group discussions. It’s in these conversations most new information and knowledge is first exposed.

Helping our clients get good at this substantially increases their competitive differentiation.

We help our clients with thought leadership, content marketing, lead generation, and negotiation to close of complex deals.

Our focus is on early customers and early revenue.

The best way to get acquainted is to schedule a no cost no obligation office hours session and walk around a key challenge you are wrestling with.
