The things people ask before they hire us.

A consultancy delivers a recommendation and leaves you to execute it. We execute it. The deliverable is not a strategy document but a working sales operation. A CRM that reflects how you actually sell, a playbook your team uses, a pipeline with real names in it, and signed contracts.

We do the analysis too. The Understand phase maps your lead-to-cash process, audits the CRM and ERP, defines the ICP and sets a three-year go-to-market roadmap. The difference is that this is the first phase rather than the whole engagement, and it is priced as the front end of the work rather than as the work itself.

We also take the commercial risk with you. A meaningful part of what we earn is a success fee on contracts that actually close, which is not a structure most consultancies will accept.

No. We work under your brand, with your email domain, your job title and your CRM, and we do not put our name on anything that reaches your market. RegionRise deliberately stays invisible on the client side. That is the whole design, not a courtesy.

This is not a white-label fiction. The person in front of your customer holds a genuine mandate from you, attends your team meetings, knows your product and your pricing, and is accountable to you for the number. To the buyer, that is simply your company showing up properly.

The trust that builds belongs to you. When the engagement ends, the relationships stay where they were formed, which is inside your company and under your name.

The model is built to reach market traction in around 90 days, meaning a qualified pipeline with named companies in it and first meetings held, not signed contracts. Anyone promising closed industrial deals in a quarter is describing a different kind of product than the ones we sell.

What happens sooner is clarity. Within the first weeks you know whether your positioning survives contact with the market, whether your price sits where you think it does, and whether the buyers you assumed exist actually buy this way. That answer is often worth more than the early pipeline, because it is the answer you would otherwise have paid a local hire twelve months to give you.

Closing cycles then follow your sector. Capital equipment, energy projects and industrial procurement run in quarters, sometimes years, and we plan the engagement around the real cycle rather than the one that fits a nicer proposal.

You keep everything: the CRM with every contact and deal under your name, the playbook, the target lists, the outreach sequences, the quoting SOPs and the partner framework. The engagement is designed to end with you owning a functioning operation, not a dependency on us.

The usual ending of a mandate are that either the revenue justifies your own hire, and we hand over to the person you have brought in — including the live conversations, which is the part that normally gets lost. Or:the market does not support the investment, and you stop having found that out in a quarter instead of after a year of local payroll.

We also hand over deliberately rather than by switching off. Where a successor is joining, we run alongside them until they hold the relationships themselves.

Long enough for one full buying cycle in your sector, which in industrial B2B means quarters rather than weeks. The engagement is structured in three phases with a gate at each one, so the term you commit to at the start is the phase you are in, not the whole programme.

Understand and Build are bounded pieces of work with defined deliverables. Execute is the open-ended part, and it is the one where the sensible horizon depends entirely on your sales cycle: a software-adjacent product with a three-month cycle needs far less runway than capital equipment with a twelve-month procurement process.

The end point is defined at the start. We run the operation until the revenue justifies your own hire, and the handover to that person is part of the plan rather than an afterthought.

We fit companies that need to cover a position quickly, enter or test a new market or want to restructure sales operations. Its not really about size. Your strategic direction matters more.

With a thirty-minute call, no deck and no pitch. We ask what you are selling, where, what has been tried, and what the last twelve months actually produced, and by the end of it we can usually tell you whether this is a fit and which of the three phases you would be starting in.

From there it typically runs to a proposal after the second conversation. Most engagements are agreed in two or three meetings, with a round or two of negotiation on price, horizon and phase scope, and it is normal for the first version of a proposal not to be the final one.

If we do not think we are the right answer, we say so in the first call. That happens often enough to be worth mentioning, sometimes what a company needs is a distributor or a fix to the product before anyone takes it to market.

Yes! The three-phase model exists to give you exit points that do not require an argument. Your commitment ends at each gate, so after Understand you can take the analysis and stop, and after Build you can take the playbook, the lists and the CRM structure and run execution with your own people.

This is deliberately different from the standard consulting shape, where the diagnosis is priced cheaply to buy a long implementation. Here each phase has to justify the next one on its own evidence, and if it does not, stopping is the correct decision rather than a failure of the relationship.

What you keep on the way out is the same in every case: your data, your contacts, your playbook, your sequences. Nothing is held back as leverage to extend the engagement.

Europe and Asia-Pacific, with the deepest coverage in the German-speaking markets. RegionRise is a Berlin company and DACH is where most engagements run: Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with the rest of Western Europe reachable from the same base.

Iberia and South America are covered through our Engagement Manager for those markets, and Taiwan through our partner. In South-East Asia we work out of Bangkok, covering Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore, as well as Australian and New Zealand, which we cover through partners.
