Case study

Astus

Effective Go-to-Market strategy for new Hi-Tech technology, completed with a sale to an industry investor

Achieved result

We launched an innovative device optimizing work in the Beauty sector, building a profitable partner network from scratch.

Our GTM (Go-to-Market) strategy led to such spectacular and rapid market success that the Astus brand was sold in its entirety to a larger, global industry investor, confirming the product's readiness for international, mass scalability.

Challenge and context

Company situation

Astus was ready to debut on the market with a breakthrough, proprietary technology – an innovative Hi-Tech device designed to radically optimize work processes in the beauty industry.

The challenge

The product required not only reaching target businesses (salons, clinics), but above all, comprehensive education on the benefits of the new technology. A scaling model based on a partner network was chosen, where B2B sales were to be carried out by external, certified specialists.

Our role

Was to fully manage this process: from creating a GTM strategy, through building and managing a partner program, to demand generation and pre-sales coordination.

Key achievements and results

Our work, focused on Partner Enablement and dynamic Go-to-Market, translated into the following measurable results, which determined the success of the sale of Astus to an investor:

12 months

The period in which we recorded a 100% increase in revenue (YoY) from device sales in the partner channel.

3.2 mln PLN

Total pre-sale volume achieved in the first quarter of the network's operation.

150+

The number of active and certified partners (business advisors, consultants, specialists) in four key regions, which form the foundation of sales.

85%

Conversion rate of leads generated by the partner network into qualified sales opportunities (SQL).

20 000+

Total reach generated during regional events promoting the technology and partner program.

Confirmation of success

Successful implementation of the strategy completed with the sale of Astus to an industry investor who appreciated the market potential and solid foundations built by the partner network.
