The Growth Plan outlines the direction of the company’s growth for the coming 6 to 12 months and is drafted together with key executives of the company. The Growth Plan helps in optimizing the human and time resources. During the Growth Plan workshop, the products and customers the company will focus on are selected and the critical steps that the company must take to achieve growth in the near future are defined. The Growth Plan is a tool developed by Pro Growth and it has helped over 100 companies start their path of growth. Read more about the Growth Plan here!

If you want to invest more in your business growth than currently possible with income funding, external funding is needed. Public funding can be obtained, for example from Business Finland, ELY- Centre, and the European Union. Other options include crowdfunding, angel investors, and banks. Pro Growth assists in applying funding from Business Finland and ELY. For other financing options, we use the help of our partners. During the years 2015 to 2019, we have prepared dozens of Business Finland applications, which have helped our clients receive millions of euros of funding in total.

SALES
The company’s sales resources are always scarce. In sales consulting, we work together to determine the sales strategy of your company, which lays the foundation for successful sales work. The sales process is defined according to the company’s sales strategy. Also, the advantages of new digital sales and marketing tools are discussed and utilized. Professional and supportive sales management is needed when the aim is to implement changes and increase sales. Through consulting and training, we determine the most appropriate sales strategy, sales process, and practices of sales management for your situation. At the baseline, we often conduct GAP analyzes of the current and the goal states.
MARKETING
In marketing consulting, we focus on what kind of buyer’s path your company possesses and how it can be supported with the right content at different stages. We help you in discovering and utilizing the special skills and expertise of your staff and in selecting the right methods to reach out to your stakeholders. We help you to plan how to get recommendations and testimonials. Together we produce concrete solutions through, for example, a content production plan, a buyer’s path description, or an overall marketing plan. We examine how to become a thought leader and how conspicuousness and constant credibility can be created.
