COMMON CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
Sousana Patsoumi Kalfa
Chief Business Officer
ATLAS Consulting | Greece
A big fashion retailer managing well-known brands in Europe, Africa and Asia with the network of more than 2000 stores reached out to us for support with payroll and accounting outsourcing services in Greece after entering the local market. Our proposal included the preparation of customized reporting based on client’s needs and training our experts in the policies of client’s accounting system in order to make the expansion as smooth and comfortable as possible.
How would you describe the cooperation with the community?
Working with the community has been a very rewarding experience. Thanks to the thorough internal preparation and knowledge sharing, nothing comes as a surprise that has to compromise our capacity or capabilities. They have taken great care to ensure that the scope of services our client requires are clearly and precisely communicated. The price negotiations are transparent and reasonable, which allows all parties to come to an agreement that is fair and equitable.
How would you describe the cooperation with the client?
The client was referred to us by Accace, one of the community members. They gave us a thorough description of the opportunity, and we immediately decided to form a multi-dimensional team composed of both Accace and Atlas Consulting. This enabled us to be well-prepared and completely in agreement for the meeting with the client.
The client was very organised, open and clear about their needs from a local provider. We could immediately sense the good chemistry and mutual connection. During the price negotiation, they were very reasonable and expressed willingness to adjust the fees if necessary. Knowing their expectations allowed us to come up with the best solution that fit their criteria and made all parties happy with the cooperation.
What are your main takeaways from this experience?
This opportunity allowed us to get more familiar with the way big companies are organised. This opens our doors to clients of similar size, because we will be able to navigate in their needs and requirements with a lot more confidence.
The other learning from this experience that when people share the same ways of doing business and value the same things, the cooperation can be incredibly smooth.
