Sector

Company

Established US-based technology company

Role

CEO-led growth

A U.S.-based B2B enterprise software company entering the French and European market for the first time. They had a complex product sold in a regulated environment. But they quickly realized that what works in America doesn’t translate directly to what European enterprise buyers want.

What Changed

B2B enterprise growth starts with credibility. Our team rebuilt positioning, messaging, and go-to-market assets.

Positioning rebuilt for the European enterprise buyer workflow

Credibility signals aligned at every buyer touchpoint

Communication mapped to 6–12 month sales cycles

Results measured by pipeline, not vanity metrics

The Problem

Consumer-style growth strategies break down in enterprise procurement.

The Trust Gap: European enterprise buyers had never heard of them. In a regulated
industry, "New" equals "Dangerous."

The Wrong Metrics: The team was optimizing for "Engagement" (Likes/Clicks). The sales team needed "Pipeline" (Meetings with decision-makers).

The Credibility Crisis: Every public touchpoint shouted "We just got here!" instead
of "We belong here."

The Disconnect: Marketing was sprinting. Sales was running a marathon. The two speeds were breaking the funnel. Leads came in hot and went cold.

What We Built

Growth infrastructure designed for long sales cycles and skeptical buyers who verify everything.

Market-entry positioning and messaging aligned to European decision patterns and stakeholder requirements.

Credibility system across key buyer checkpoints (site, leadership narrative, proof assets, consistency).

Long-cycle content and nurture framework built to support evaluation over months, not days.

We made sure every channel reinforced the same story without any mixed messages.

The question stopped being "how many clicks?" and started being "how many qualified conversations moved forward this month?"

Without these systems, expanding into a new market raises a simple buyer concern: will this work without the founder running everything? Buyers look for disciplined entry, clear positioning, credible signals, and team-run execution, not founder-run execution. The work we carried out here answered that question.

"Muriel Knows Enterprise Software Is Different"

Very happy with Muriel because she knows how to do social media for enterprise software; which is not easy. We sell to enterprises in the regulated industries, and the work on social media is much more complex than selling products that can be purchased on-line or quickly. Our sales cycles are long and Muriel helped us with communications with skill through content creation and placement.
