Connect 5000
Connect 5000 is a Kansas City-based lead generation, prospecting training, and sales consulting company. Since March 2010, we’ve helped countless software, technology, and consulting companies boost sales revenue with effective lead generation campaigns, sales prospecting strategies, and inside sales management. We shorten sales cycles and multiply revenue by generating introductory sales meetings with key decision-makers on your behalf. If hiring an outside firm is cost prohibitive, we offer customized training workshops on how to prospect and engage effectively to get inside targeted companies. We also consult with companies who don’t have an effective outbound sales strategy in place. Sales Outcomes: Our efforts lead to results! For example: • We scheduled over 110 meetings resulting in $6.1M in new revenue in 13 months for AGSI. • We served as Hedvig’s inside sales team for several months until Commvault acquired them. • We generated over 120 introductory meetings in 6 months for Vela Systems before Autodesk acquired them. • We functioned as THE inside sales team for business development and lead generation efforts for Talari Networks for over 22 months before Oracle acquired them. Are you experiencing top of the sales funnel challenges or down an inside rep or 2? If so, we’ll open doors to new opportunities for growth and profitability.
