OUR MISSION

Our mission is simple: design algorithms and automation to dramatically increase sales development efficiency.

We believe that technologies can create more "human moments" without damaging our brand and the sales experience we offer to leads.

With today’s tools and practices, prospecting can become predictable, efficient and human.

Since 2016, IKO System is part of the Sidetrade Group (NYSE EURONEXT: ALBFR.PA), world leader in predictive sales-to-cash solutions.

OUR CULTURE

Our mantra is: “Be the best at getting better”. We onboard people who share our values and passion and show desire to learn and improve their sales and marketing culture.

Our religion is transparency: we support each other to move forward and improve, and we share with our customers our failures, successes and best practices.

Our whole organization is built with our clients’ success in mind, from R&D; to sales and customer success. We focus on metrics, practice and business results.

IKO is part of my Social Selling strategy. It enables me to create leads, get wider and deeper in accounts as well as support sales pursuits. [...] UK Sales VP says he cannot run his business without it.

Just 5 minutes after doing your set-up, you get an alert, then a call and then a meeting… wow !

We’ve already got a steady flow of inbound leads but IKO brings us the big deals -companies who wouldn’t normally come to us themselves. Our conversion rates improved significantly because our SDRs now spend time having real conversations instead.

We rapidly achieved our targets in number of meetings and volume of opportunities. This is why we deploy IKO to all of our sales teams.
