MOIC Partners specializes in guiding SaaS B2B software companies in the energy sector. Our clients face challenges in sales processes and pricing strategy after the market has shown significant demand for their solution. We generally become relevant when (i) a founders rolodex-based method of sales pipe development and management turns lean, or (ii) a company is trying to cross from the early adopter to the early majority part of the market. With regard to the sales process, MOICs targeted outcomes for clients are:
• Enable Forecast Accuracy - 90% of bookings forecast reliably (using a behavioral observation model).
• Convince Sophisticated Prospects - Enable a process in which large accounts will place confidence in your ability to support them.
• Substantially Lower the Cost of Scale - Enable a method to "train up" sales resources and avoid the otherwise heavy expenses of achieving a high participation rate among sales personnel (a key element to high exit value).
With regard to pricing, MOICs targeted outcomes for clients are:
• Pricing Increase in Next Deal of 20%.
• Configure licenses in a way allowed by customers that retain maximum license upside.
** We are former software company operators and SaaS investors who had to specifically solve these very common problems among companies endeavoring to become relevant. We have built and sold to IBM, AT&T, PTC, LLR, Siemens, IHS-Market, and others.
