Its #1 challenge: controlling its customer acquisition cost. Probance brought Eleius in to craft and execute a hypergrowth strategy.
A springboard to hypergrowth
Over a period of six months, Eleius repackaged and positioned Probance:
✔️ Developed a positioning document to articulate Probance’s compelling value proposition to SMB buyers.
