We do not sell agent hours. We give your sales team its selling time back.
On average your sales reps spend only 40 % of their week actually selling. As an extension of your sales team we take over appointment setting, lead qualification, CRM upkeep and follow-ups – so your people get back to what you pay them for.
Your most expensive team spends 60 % of its time not selling.
Not because it does not want to – because operational work eats the calendar. Those are exactly the tasks we take over, as a fixed part of your sales process.
Appointment setting & chasing callsTime lost to coordination, confirmations and reminders.
CRM upkeep & documentationData entry crowds out customer time – every single day.
Follow-ups after calls & quotesOpen contacts go cold, quotes quietly die.
Reporting & quote chasingStandard reports are put together by hand, by your reps.
If we turned just 10–20 % of non-selling time back into selling time – what would that be worth in your sales organisation?
Sales Time Check
How much additional selling time is already sitting in your existing sales team?
Three inputs are enough. The result is based on the Salesforce benchmark and conservative assumptions – every figure is a model value.
Inputs
We start pilot projects with the conservative value. What share of non-selling time should the model recover?

Remaining non-selling time
We do not sell you agent hours. We give your sales team its selling time back. Based on your figures that works out at roughly 9.0 additional full-time capacities.
Result: 9.0 additional full-time capacities, 1,559 recoverable hours per month, plus 22.5 per cent selling time.
Benchmark: Salesforce State of Sales, 7th Edition (2026) – sales reps spend on average 40 % of their working week selling and 60 % on non-selling activities. Recoverable share: model assumption 15 %. All results are model values, not a promise of outcome.

Data security
Your data stays in your instance.
No tool of our own, no parallel data store: our agents work in your systems – with the permissions you grant, and without a single copy of your data reaching our premises.
Access only via VDI/Citrix
A hosted session on your systems – no local installation, no data held on end devices.
No local export
Download, clipboard, printing and removable media are technically blocked inside the session.
Access revocable at any time
Accounts are personal. You grant and revoke every permission yourself – it is your instance.
DPA, SCC and TIA
Data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR with the German contracting entity, EU standard contractual clauses and a transfer impact assessment; KVKK in parallel.

One package, two to four agents, KPIs agreed in writing up front. After four weeks you are in regular operation; after 60 days you decide on the basis of your own CRM data.
Your Sales Time Check: a calculated – recoverable hours per month. We derive the pilot target from that on the intro call – a proposal, not an offer.

Boundaries
What we do not do.
A partner who draws lines is predictable. These six points apply to every project, whatever its size. They protect your customers, your data and your position in the market.
No cold calling of private individuals.We work exclusively in B2B sales – with your target accounts.
No bought address lists.We work from your leads, your customer base and your target account list.
No closing and no price negotiation in your name.We hand qualified appointments and contacts to your sales team. Closing stays with you.
No projects shorter than two months or with fewer than two agents.Below that there is no clean onboarding and no reliable measurement.
No language without native speakers.We only staff a project if we can cover the language at native-speaker level.
No reporting that cannot be verified in your CRM.Every number in the weekly report traces back to records in your own system.
Availability
