For companies that 
- operate in multiple countries needing to translate into many different languages, 
- Salesforce or Slack users
- often uses spreadsheets emailed to different local translators 
- time consumed with rectifying human errors in translations
- need for a solution for translation and localisation that is seamless form the original content, translation, approval on to execution and distribution 

Using traditional translation vendors is often time consuming, expensive and local teams end up having to polish up.

Many companies end up using some form of digital / automated translation tools. Generic tools (Google translate etc) often don't include proofing to correct faults, risk for human errors, lack localisation of your most important content.

The ideal scenario is a translation tool that is a digital translation and localisation tool integrated into the same platform as your marketing suite. Well look no more the tool is here for Salesforce and Slack users... VERBIS!

Megadeals typical clients are found among sustainability startups and scaleups and enterprise SaaS startups and scaleups. We also do work with some of the biggest B2B companies in the world, but with a key focus on startups and scaleups where we can make a very big impact. 

A few other key attributes found in our most suitable clients are having a finite target market such as one or two industries. If you can and do sell to everyone and anyone, then you are operating in an infinite market and that is a different game. We observe many companies applying the infinite market game rules on the finite market game and that doesn’t work.

A typical Megadeals client also has complexities in the deal making such as…
Cross hierarchical decision making on the customer side (often higher up than most people realise)
Cross functional decision making
A complex offering that takes a long time for new people to handle on their own
The environment on the customer side is a blend of processes and interfacing technologies

These 4 complexities lead to another key trait of our clients, which is a very high dependency on key people in the deal making. Often a CEO, a CTO and a Head of sales. We call it the rainmaker dependency. Hiring more and more sales people only makes the matter worse as your rainmakers have to hold the new sales peoples’ hands, which they don't have time for. We often see companies making the mistake of recruiting too many new sales people and then ending up in the calendar problem. They find themselves having to support everyone else and then experiencing lower sales as a consequence.

Most of our clients aim at becoming the leader in their category and in their core customer segment. It is also quite common that a Megadeals client is trying to establish or grow a new solution category which has its own list of challenges and special moves.

Looking forward to talking more about your exciting potential to dominate your finite market and category.

Paid Media in B2B: Same channel. Two completely different games.

Most scale-ups master paid media in Complexity 3–4 — and then stall when they move into 5–6.

Why?
Because the game changes.

Complexity 3–4 & Infinite Market
•⁠ ⁠Broad audiences
•⁠ ⁠Sequential buying
•⁠ ⁠Marketing hands leads (MQLs) over to sales. 
•⁠ ⁠1–4 stakeholders
•⁠ ⁠Optimise CTR, CPC, CPA
•⁠ ⁠You want to know ”who is a potential buyer”
→ The goal: broad ”net”, cheap conversion. 

Complexity 5–6 & Finite Market
•⁠ ⁠Known accounts
•⁠ ⁠Known Stakeholder groups & ecosystems
•⁠ ⁠Parallel orchestration with multiple buying groups. 
•⁠ ⁠Decisions driven by risk and consensus. 
•⁠ ⁠Sales & Marketing operate as a unit throughout the orchestration. 
→ The goal: high win rate & lower total CAC (sales & marketing)

Yet most teams still run Growth Marketing playbooks in a Finite Market in complexity 5 & 6.

They optimise metrics…
…but lose deals.

In Complexity 5–6 & finite markets, paid media is not a demand engine.
It’s an orchestration engine.

It’s not about traffic.

It’s about who inside your target accounts is aware, aligned, and moving toward consensus.

Same channel.
Different rules.
