ABOUT

Go To Market Consulting

was originally founded in 2011 as Business Backstage by Ursula Dauenhauer with the simple objective to help leaders of medium-sized B2B technology companies to craft a powerful Go To Market strategy and then implement it successfully. Ultimately it is all about  lifting sales performance and scaling sales faster and with more predictability.

Ursula’s work addresses the three most common symptoms that stymie  business growth , which are complexities of a fast moving market, working within constraints, finding a strong competitive market positioning and ultimately creating more certainty around revenue streams. She believes that Go To Market is not a high level, one-off process, but a dynamic business function, essential to take the business with confidence to the next level.
