Introducing Lifetime Studios Continuous Delivery DevOps Ready Teams

Dear Lifetime friends,

I would like to take this opportunity to explain how we work here at Lifetime Oy (Ltd). As you already know Lifetime Oy has to brands: 

Lifetime Studios 

Lifetime Studios delivers top-notch applications for customers who need mobile apps combined to best cloud back-end in the market. Android, iOS, Universal Windows Platform combined with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Telia Cloud, Tieto Cloud, among other. Not to mention our Customer own private clouds and databases.

Our flagship build at the moment is Crowd Investment Management Studio CIMS. CIMS is built using with our partner Microsoft tools and methods. Lifetime Studios is Microsoft BizSpark member. We use Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise and Professional versions (available for Windows 10 S and Mac), Microsoft Team Services to manage Agile Sprints, Delivery Plans, Documentation, Code and Builds and more.

right now, CIMS is ongoing a upgrade to its Deck. The key technical question is using HyperLedger Project and blockchain as information certificates and signing but possible also to money transactions. 

CIMS Advisory Board will also be updated with new people who come from our partner organisations.

I am actively seeking funding round for CIMS. CIMS is Crowd Unicorn and it aims to EU's Single Digital Market launched later this year. In the coming versions CIMS scales to be the Global Crowd Platform.

Lifetime Consulting

Lifetime Consulting deliver Full-Stack capable professional development Teams and Full-Stack capable consultants to customer projects. We use continuous development methodology, DevOps for those organisations who have adopted it. In our core toolset is Microsoft Team Services, in which it possible to create precise Delivery plans including workload management so that each our 3 to 4 person Teams delivers the best possible value to our Customers. Just in Time and in Budget.

Our Management Consulting Advisors deliver Executive Services to customers whose intention is to clarify and step-up to delivering their Digital Strategies, Processes, Apps. We love to show our clients our ideas as Demo Apps rather than PowerPoint slides. Certainly we write white papers if that what you as a valued customer want us first to do.

Our Consultants

Lifetime Consultants are Software Professionals that usually have long history in working in Large Organisations. We accept spring chickens to our teams, but I strongly believe that long history in Software Engineering is an Advantage. That said, old databases and old data is sometimes burden and waste. So all our hired consultants go through life cycle management period where using clean room technologies and cleansing we get rid of old database, find inner peace and tabula rasa. When the mind is clear newly hired consultants will go through detailed hands-on training on Topics such as Software Engineering, Business Modelling, Full-Stack Delivery and so on. Fresh minded, smiling Consultant is our flagship product.

Again, our partner Microsoft's Virtual Academy and our Training Partners seminars and certificates ensure that every our consultant are capable to deliver continuous apps whose life cycle is long and ROI are at the best possible level.

Every our consultant participate actively in Meetups and Hackatlons. We want to be there with the community and our dear colleagues. Friendly faces and small talk is an asset to us. We are here for you.

Physical exercises, I personally favor running and gym, are necessity to stay in form in this bubble business. Good Health and can do attitude, friendly personality can be worked out and learned. Our Consultants do their best to learn every Day. 

Dear Customer Call us for an Offer

Give us a go. Contact our Sales. We build Finnish Software. We also would like to hear about you as a employee. Lifetime Studios and Lifetime Consulting are building New Teams constantly.

(LSJ) Good Sales Practices * näin parannat myyntiä

Good Sales Practices

Gather Information

• Browse and analyze potential client's company website. How the site has been built, how company tells about their story, offerings, productization and content. Brief analysis of a company website takes only 30 minutes.
• Investigate how company is using interactive dialog with the Sales vs. Customer. Is there Online Presence?

• Find and analyze company pages, eCommerce pages and company presentations in LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Slidehare, YouTube and Twitter. Get a good understanding what the company is proud of. Use LinkedIn profiles to learn backgrounds of people you are about to prospect, lead, contact and meet f2f, negotiate with and finally close sales.

• Create Master Data for the Lead. Use SWOT Analysis to identify Strenghts, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threads from the competitor.

• Learn prospect company's general business mission and vision and analyze those against Your Positioning.
• Investigate their business setup, like people, partners, owners, Marketing-Mix 7P, etc.
• Connect to top people to learn more.

Create Sales Pitch

• Find story from the Customer's World - Why this is important to me? (customer view).
• Identify opportunities how you could help the client.
• Write these ideas to your sales presentation.
• Make Customer Storyboard and Storytelling as the Basis to your product sales.
• Even if the ideas do not immediately resonate with the people you meet, they will get an impression that you have invested time to think their business.
• Bigger the client opportunity, more you need to invest time to presales investigation. Listen, Read, do Market Research, use Business Intelligence, setup a Big Data & Streaming Analytics pipeline.
• Personalize sales pitch so that is differs to various contact groups. Develop variations of Your sales pitch to several contact groups differentiated by fe.
• his/her whole career vs. versatile industry experience,tech. savvy vs. commercial savvy (or having both),
• international vs. domestic career,
• one function vs. multiple functional competences,
• Personal Character Features

Meeting the client

• Ask the client if they want to give their presentation first that will tell about their business and potentially achievements and pain points they are facing around the topic area you are selling. Once you have heard how client tells about their business it is easier to adjust your own presentation to make it resonate with the client. Listen and learn. Do not push your own message.

Develop Your Products All-Time - Digital Design 24/7

• Keep Your products simple, so you can quickly pivot those products that do not sell in 3 months.
• Keep Your product catalog such that you can manage it with ease. Keep Your products available in eCommerce Store.
• Keep Your Marketing-Mix 7P alive and updated.
• Do not sell 'tailored' or 'projects'. Customers love well defined products.
• (Origins of this English Entry was in LinkedIn Sales Group, updated and all-round rewritten).

Näin Parannat Myyntiä

1. Kehitä valikoimaa koko ajan.
2. Selvitä, mitä asiakas haluaa.
3. Hio tuotteita loppuun asti.
4. Vie tuote kaikkialle, missä asiakas käy.
5. Kansainvälisty, vaikka jäisit Suomeen. Maailmalta tulee kilpailijoita tänne.
6. Ole ahkera. Ei riitä, että tekee paljon töitä. Pitää tehdä älyttömän paljon töitä.
7. Oivalla jotakin ostajan elämästä. Tee oivalluksesta tarinasi. Esimerkkinä Happy Socks. Miksi miehille ei ole värikkäitä sukkia?
8. Kehitä tuotettasi tarinan pohjalta.
9. Kun kerrot tarinan, kerrot ostajasta. "Why". Älä kehu tuotetta.
10. Kuuntele laajaa joukkoa kun testaat ja kehität tuotetta.
11. Älä liitä liian monta ominaisuutta "Pivot"
12. Kaikkia asiakkaita ei voi miellyttää
13. Levitä hyvää fiilistä! Jos olet innostunut tuotteestasi, tartuta tunne työkavereihisi, pomoosi ja asiakkaisiisi.
14. Valitse työkavereiksi tyyppejä, joilla on erilaiset tausta ja joiden kanssa viihdyt,
15. Muista bisnestutuista yksityiskohtia, kuten lemmikin nimi. Kun tapaatte, kysy miten koira voi?
16. Nouse nopeasti ylös jos epäonnistut. Älä jää vellomaan asiaa.
