FRACTIONAL HELPS COMPANIES FIND NEW WAYS TO STAY SUCCESSFUL

Contracting fractional leadership expertise is crucial during coronavirus
outbreak
● Economic uncertainty and widespread travel restrictions are on companies’ minds
when making decisions.
● Contracting fractional, experienced sales leadership counters the risks associated with
new hiring or lack of first-hand expertise

Kansas City, MO, March 16 — The damaging effect the coronavirus outbreak is having on
businesses is front and center to our news headlines these days. The economic downturn, the travel restrictions, the impact on global supply chains, and the work-from-home mandate create uncertainty at best. The reality in many companies is, among other things, a hiring freeze.

In times where existing markets break down, customers stop buying, and employees are
concerned, leadership is required more than ever. Opening up new export markets is a
challenge with travel restrictions in place. Contracting a fractional Export Sales Leader
mitigates and minimizes those challenges. And there is most certainly someone available
who has been on the ground in the target country. Contracting this experience on a
fractional basis is a low risk and low-cost path to opening new markets.

“Now, more than ever, businesses need to act,” says Henning Schwinum, Co-Founder of
Vendux: “Sitting still, doing nothing, and waiting for the storm to blow over is not a strategy.
Take action and utilize the full lineup of options the gig-economy offers."

Likewise, for domestic business the hiring freeze is triggered by the uncertainty of the current business climate. By looking to Fractional Sales Executives who are used to working and leading remote teams, companies big and small can bring back stability and work with an experienced professional accustomed to navigating a variety of business opportunities. This sort of agile approach to hiring and team building is necessary to ensure the success of the business. As companies explore this new landscape, those with an eye to the future and their immediate success are looking to contract fractional or interim Sales Leaders as an alternative to traditional hiring.

In doing our part to keep our economy moving forward, Vendux is proud to announce that
we have made our sales leadership and training course “Beyond The Founder” free for all
business owners and leadership teams uncertain about how to navigate these current times.
