Microline makes 100 fastest growing
Dec 2005 salestar™ connect customer, Microline, has made the prestigious Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fastrack 100 fastest growing company in Britain . Microline is ranked 18th and has seen sales grow by over 110% each year since 2001. In 2004 Microline sold over 6000 contracts a month and sales nearly reached £10 million.
The managing director, Jaz Singh, puts much of his success down to the implementation of computation. He credits salestar™ for streamlining his work making the whole business more efficient and profitable. salestar™ allows him to realise where his profits are, and using tools within salestar™, analyse where his profits are coming from.
Focussing on these profit areas is only one of the driving forces behind his recent success. Daily conference calls between sites and head office bring all customer complaints to the surface. Microline's customer service has continued to strengthen and has lead many new clients to them through recommendation.
An aggressive sales strategy has played an equally integral part in the creation of Microline's recent successful growth. Also in these conference calls sales are scrutinised on a daily basis and checked against daily targets. This allows network targets to be met and as a result extra rewards received.
Microline is now a very well oiled machine. More staff have been brought in to customer services, to the sales teams, and towards a team that checks commissions are correctly paid from networks. Overall between 2005 and 2006 Microline has increased its staff to over a 55 person strong team.
salestar™ connect would like to express their congratulations to Jaz and his team for this great achievement.
