Minlopro Partners Doubles Revenue in Year Two: A Success Story
Last summer, we spoke with Mort Sayyed, co-founder of Minlopro Partners, a Salesforce consulting firm headquartered in Milwaukee, at the end of an impressive first year. The company reached $5 million in revenue and expanded to 44 employees.
Now, as they near the end of their second year, Sayyed shares even more exciting news.
“In the last year alone, we have doubled our revenue. We have doubled our customer base. When I talked to you last year, we were hovering just under 100 customers. We’re now over 200. We had just hit this phenomenal $5 million milestone. To double that in the next year is exciting and so motivating. I wake up every morning with a purpose. (I ask myself) How do we get better? How do we take what we’re doing now, not lose sight of it, but keep growing and keep bringing this energy to our clients and our employees,” he said.
Such achievements are uncommon. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 30% of new businesses fail by their second year.
When asked about their impressive growth, Sayyed attributes it to their team. “It’s our people and our investment in them, starting with our recruitment process,” he explains.
Most new hires come from employee recommendations, fostering a strong internal culture.
“It’s our investment in our people that drives their energy for our clients. Our people have the skills and capabilities to deliver tremendous amounts of revenue and we do it in balance. Last year, since we were building a lot of our teams, the energy was focused on foundational principles, developing processes and developing our internal platforms methodology. We’re converting that energy into the client-facing efforts, so our growth has been tremendous,” he continued.
These strategies must be working. Minlopro Partners was named one of Milwaukee’s Best Places to Work in 2023 by the Milwaukee Business Journal.
Looking ahead to the third year, Sayyed has ambitious plans.
“Next year, I would love to be able to tell you we have expanded into a new global region. Right now, we are in the United States and India. I want to have expanded into a new region, whether it’s going to be Canada, Central America, the UK, or the Middle East. I want to have at least one more region,” he said.
The company is also considering a variety of funding options to help support further growth.
“Our theme next year is going to be it’s time to grow because believe it or not, when I look at the people around me, I see that we have not even tapped into the full talent of our own internal talent pool and promoting people into the next level and allowing myself and my co-founders to be more visionary… It’s these people that drive the company, so when it’s time to grow, it’s time for our people to grow. How did we get there? It’s our people. It’s our investment in people. We can never stop investing in our people because that’s what drives the company. It’s not me,” he said.
