Founders Workshop & Dinner, Gothenburg, Sweden

A welcoming speech with Niclas Carlsson before kicking off the afternoon workshops and business meetings, followed by dinner at Gogogaga Sky Bar.

For entrepreneurs and business owners, making decisions based on the right data is crucial for growth and maximizing the impact of their time and resources. However, many find it challenging to determine:

• Which data is important?
• How to collect and interpret it?
• Most importantly—how to turn insights into concrete actions that drive business forward, such as optimizing sales and marketing investments (i.e., saving time and money).

Purpose of the Workshop

• Explore which data is actually needed to improve sales and marketing success.
• Share experiences regarding the challenges and opportunities of working more data-driven.
• Discuss how digital tools can provide the right decision-making support.

Group Discussions

Examples of discussion topics for group work:

• What are the biggest challenges you face today in making decisions about sales and marketing?
• What do you currently base your decisions on—intuition, experience, guesses, or data?
• If you had perfect information about your customers and market, what decisions would you make differently?
• What key metrics or insights do you lack today to feel confident in your decisions?
• What does your current process for collecting and using data in sales and marketing look like?
• What works well, and what works less well?
• What type of decision support (platforms, tools, processes) would help you become more data-driven?

Exploring Solutions

Björn, from the SaaS company Effektify, will demonstrate how others have successfully tackled these challenges.As part of the workshop, we will also showcase how the Effektify.com platform can serve as a concrete support by:

• Automating the collection and analysis of marketing and sales data.
• Providing clear insights and recommendations that lead to real business decisions.
• Helping corporations and mid-sized companies compete with larger players through smart data utilization.
