Commercial Development · Software & SaaS Editors B2B · France

Your solution is ready.
Who opens the right accounts?

B2B software publishers master their product — but often not the long sales cycles of regulated industrial, multi-site or institutional accounts. NJ Strategies structures your commercial development and drives access to your target markets.

The publisher paradox: you have built a solution that solves a real problem, your early clients are satisfied — but your growth is blocked because nobody in the team is truly driving commercial development. The product moves forward, the pipeline stagnates.

Diagnosis

The 6 real blockers for B2B software publishers in growth phase

These obstacles are systematic in publishers whose solution is validated but whose commercial engine is under-structured.

🧑‍💻

Founder alone on prospecting

The CEO-CTO prospects between product meetings. Prospecting is irregular, undocumented, not scalable.

Risk: empty pipeline
🏭

Wrong contacts in key accounts

Prospecting IT when the decision-maker is the HSE director or industrial management. The cycle drags on without moving forward.

Risk: cycle > 18 months
📋

Product pitch, not commercial argument

The technical demo is mastered, the ROI argument and regulatory angle are not. The prospect does not sign.

Risk: closing rate < 15%
🗺️

No clear market segmentation

Responding to everything that comes in without prioritising. Energy dispersed across a SEVESO industrial, a campsite and a port without a segment entry strategy.

Risk: diluted resources
📊

No CRM or pipeline management

Opportunities live in emails and heads. Impossible to measure conversion rate, identify blockers or forecast revenue.

Risk: commercial invisibility
🤝

Indirect channels not activated

Resellers, integrators and prescribing engineering firms are identified but never properly addressed with a structured programme.

Risk: 100% fragile direct revenue

FAQ

Questions before getting in touch

A senior in-house Sales Director costs €60–100k fully loaded, takes 3–6 months to recruit and another 3–6 months to become effective. An outsourced Sales Director is operational in 2 weeks, at a fraction of the cost, with zero HR risk.
Yes. NJ Strategies is currently working on these markets for Arka Software / YourMaps. Prospecting at regulated industrial sites requires understanding the regulatory stakes to address the right contacts (HSE management, safety manager, industrial director) with the right arguments.
Absolutely. The YourMaps reference illustrates expertise on regulated industrial markets, but NJ Strategies operates across the full B2B French landscape: industry, services, retail, IT, healthcare. The approach is systematically adapted to each publisher's target market.
