Folge 27: Von SMB zu Enterprise - Die größten Fehler beim Upmarket Move I Veit Blumschein von Lanes & Planes

from Sales Expressed · host hyrise I Dominic Blank

Dominic spricht mit Veit Blumschein, Mitgründer und CEO von Lanes & Planes, über eine Herausforderung, vor der viele wachsende SaaS-Unternehmen stehen: Der Schritt vom erfolgreichen SMB-Geschäft in den Enterprise-Markt.Nachdem Lanes & Planes bereits einen starken Product-Market-Fit im SMB-Segment erreicht hatte, stellte sich die Frage nach dem nächsten Wachstumspfad - Expansion im bestehenden Markt oder der Aufbau eines Enterprise-Segments.Veit teilt offen, warum ihre erste Annahme („Enterprise ist einfach der gleiche Sales-Prozess – nur länger“) nicht funktioniert hat und welche strukturellen Änderungen notwendig waren, um größere Kunden erfolgreich zu gewinnen.Die Folge zeigt sehr konkret, was sich in Organisation, ICP-Definition und Sales-Methodik ändert, wenn man von einer transaktionalen SMB-Motion zu Enterprise-Sales wechselt.Lieblingszitat: „ICP-Definition heißt nicht zu überlegen, für wen das Produkt passen könnte. ICP-Definition heißt: streichen, streichen, streichen.“Angesprochene Ressourcen:LinkedIn Profil von ⁠Dominic Blank⁠LinkedIn Profil von Veit BlumscheinLanes & Planes inklusive Business Travel White PaperCall to Action: "Folgen" klicken und in zwei Wochen wieder reinhören.
