Challenge

“We were looking for a way to enter the central European market(s). A former colleague, who had been working with Sqales for a few years, recommended the company. Working with an established company with access to the market & different actors within the market provides easy early-phase access to the market. This without incurring a lot of sunken costs.”

"For end customers, Sqales provides a robust and direct approach focusing on the key business development activities."

Solutions

To help Stayify in the best possible way, we first conducted a market survey to see their customers’ opinions. Then we had meetings with the general managers of several hotels. These were interviews to determine whether there is a product-market fit with the Dutch market. We both have a structured approach (weekly meets, reports, setting up targets & working around challenges) and a very informal one (WhatsApp group).

Results

“We were originally quite unsure about what to expect, but we received great results. It’s not easy to push an unknown solution (even an untested one!) in a new market, but Sqales has done an exemplary job with it! Within a few months, we gained a good understanding of the market and a viable prospect pipeline.”
