I’m Lindsay Smith
I help Saas succeed in selling on G-Cloud
What this website is going to do for you
Selling Saas and related services to UK’s public sector on the G-Cloud framework is disconcertingly familiar. If it was a foreign market with recognised cultural and legal differences to our home market. We would approach it differently from the start.
This website explains the differences and provides you with the keys to unlock your sales. You can use the insights and methodology to do-it-yourself or engage with me to write your plan and execute it… or a bit of all three.
To win on G-Cloud
Here is the methodology to turn winning on G-Cloud into a transparent, repeatable, business process. Sales success is a story built in layers. Understand the layers and identify your gaps and weaknesses, that’s the sales pathway. Communicate the methodology across the organisation, all players understand what they are doing and why.
Insights and analysis
Here you will find a regular blog of articles turning the methodology into practical advice. Combining analysis of the rich seam of data that exists just under the surface of the Digital Marketplace along with shared experiences of marketing, interviews with buyers and the folks that run the G-Cloud.
How I can help
These are the services I can provide to SaaS suppliers wanting to accelerate their journey to success. From ½-day workshop on how-to-do-it, to building and executing a get-it-done campaign; bringing in a specialist at the right time is the key to fast growth. Knowledge transfer, the key to sustainable growth.
Help yourself
There is no reason why you can’t do-it-yourself. Check-out the free Resources section where there are useful artefacts to help build your campaign. It’s also where you can get the CCS G-Cloud spend data in .CSV format.
