Testimonials

Mixpo

We hired Altus to design and execute an inside sales model to help Mixpo expand into a new market. Within a few months they validated the ideal customer profile, sourced all the prospects, built out the process and infrastructure, and closed the initial deals to prove the business model. It was an ideal mix of expertise, methodology, and ”roll up your sleeves to get it done.” Best of all, we had all the metrics and reporting to track the progress the whole way.

CEO

Issi

Altus helped us identify the key performance metrics we need to track in order to optimize our inside sales team’s day to day efforts. The analysis allowed us to understand our sales process at a much greater level, fit the process to our customer’s rhythm of business, and take control of our sales pipeline. Our rigorous application of data analysis to our daily sales process was an important selling point for the buyer who later acquired our company.

BigDoor

I engaged Altus to grow BigDoor revenues with a proactive outbound sales effort. In just over 6 months, the firm was able to more than double our sales pipeline, opportunity forecast, and close marque customers yielding revenues well above their service charges. Throughout the engagement, Altus was able to mature our sales process, reporting, and infrastructure such that ongoing sales is more efficient and predictable with our internal team. Altus has a proven process and expertise that would benefit any new venture looking to accelerate revenues into new markets.

Altus took on the unique requirements of the MSA (Microsoft Alumni Network) and through their incisive, entrepreneurial perspective provided the MSA board of directors and myself invaluable information that has helped us avoid hurdles even we hadn¹t anticipated!

RDI Labs

As a small company looking to commercialize new search technology, we struggled to gain traction. Altus Alliance supported our efforts with relationships along with an organized and focused approach to exposing our technology to a much broader audience. The Altus team helped with strategy and developed and executed a sales campaign across multiple vertical markets and hundreds of companies. Altus’s work resulted in the successful sale of our technology portfolio. I found Altus Alliance to be flexible and a pleasure to work while delivering results we would have been challenged to achieve on our own.

Metajure

After a slow and frustrating start, I hired Altus to assess and revise MetaJure’s sales strategy. Within a few months their approach proved to be extremely effective at refining focus and securing our initial customers. They had the tools, techniques, contacts, and professionals to execute the strategy to meet our sales goals while building a replicable and efficient process. I would recommend Altus to any CEO building his initial sales strategy or trying to repair a broken one.

Rich Corbet

Others Online

Altus was instrumental in helping Others Online refocus our go-to-market strategy. The ultimate validation of the plan was then sourcing and closing new partners and customers where one of those partners ultimately acquired the company.

Jordan Mitchell

Founder and CEO

Conenza

Conenza began like most start-ups, as an idea with a staff of unpaid, late night, enthusiastic entrepreneurs. But that will only get you so far. What we discovered was we needed the guiding hand of someone who had been there and done it before — we found Altus Alliance. With the insight of Dave Jones and the rest of the Altus Partners, we have taken an idea to a real company with three Global 200 companies as our first clients and a number of others.

Altus redeveloped our entire Value Prop, which also included rebuilding our technology stack and redesigning the new marketing plan around it. The Talent branch of Altus recruited our new VP of Marketing, who has turned out to be a star. Overall, Altus Alliance was a very successful investment for Teplis Travel.

Gary Teplis

CEO

Zealyst

Altus was the perfect person to help Zealyst move into growth phase and set the foundation for a sustainable, scalable sales strategy. We’d reached an exciting point in our company’s maturity: we had a great product and our first few customers, but our team lacked experience in enterprise sales. Their expertise filled that knowledge gap, and they implemented systems and trained our team thoroughly so that the benefit of his knowledge extended long beyond our engagement with Altus. They set us up for success and helped break down a lot of the barriers we were facing as a young company. In addition to all the value they offered to our business, we also had a blast working with them!

Martina Welke

CEO

Connectable

When we kicked off our partnership with Altus Alliance, we already had some major challenges in filling our sales pipeline. They began their work with a deep dive into research- both of our target clients and of the state of the industry. This Market Driven Baseline (MDB) research and interview process provided key insights, both to our Altus team, as well as our own. The MDB was then used to rework our value proposition and messaging tactics to best appeal to our selected vertical markets. From there, Altus worked diligently to build up a sales pipeline via email marketing, social media outreach, face-to-face interactions at industry trade shows and precisely focused sales and account management. What resulted was a healthy growth in sales and a better understanding of our core offerings and audiences. I highly recommend Altus Alliance as a revenue traction and growth accelerator for any early-stage business.
