Outsourced sales for the offline economy · Abuja first

We walk the street.
You close the deal.

Salesman finds, checks and chats with the shops, clinics, schools and POS agents you sell to. Then we hand you introductions that have already said yes.

Sound familiar?

Your best customers have a shop door, not an inbox. Online sales tools can’t see them, so your reps walk. Most doors were never going to buy, and you only find out after the walk.

28%

of a rep’s week is spent actually selling

We do the legwork.
You do the charm.

Three steps. Only the last one needs you, and by then the buyer is expecting your call.

01YOU, ONCE

Brief us

What you sell, which businesses buy it, and where. One call. No software to set up.

02US, ALL WEEK

We find and warm

We find the right businesses, check they’re real, and chat with them on the app they already answer until they say yes to meeting you.

03YOU

You close

Each introduction comes with a debrief: who decides, what they need, when. Take the call, close the deal, tell us how it went.

Not a lead list.
A buyer who’s expecting you.

A list of phone numbers is just more walking. Every introduction has passed four checks before it reaches you.

✓Real business, working contact
✓Real need, real timing
✓Said yes to hearing from you
✓Checked by your account manager

01

Both sides say yes

No cold blasts in your name. The business agrees to meet you before you hear about them.

02

No spam

Two follow-ups at most, at sensible hours. A “no” is final.

03

Checked before it lands

Your account manager approves every introduction before it lands.

04

Your deals stay yours

What you sell and who you close is never shared with another client.

Pay for yes.
Not for software.

You only pay for introductions you accept. Pick the shape that fits how you sell; we agree the numbers with you in the pilot.

Per introduction

Pay per yes

A fee for each introduction you accept, with a small monthly minimum

STEADY TARGETS

Retainer plus per introduction

Monthly + per yes

A monthly fee per area and category, plus a fee for each introduction you accept

HIGH-VALUE SALES

Monthly + success

A monthly fee, plus a fee when an introduction becomes your customer

I sold door to door at Chowdeck and built Farmula to $1M in sales with offline retailers. Most of that walking could have been filtered from a desk. Salesman is the sales team I wish I’d had.
