Complex sales process

Sports organizations required extensive education on digital transformation.

Market penetration challenges

Difficulty reaching decision-makers at clubs and associations.

Business impact

Growth constrained by lack of systematic outreach, missed opportunities with qualified sports organizations, and inability to establish predictable MRR growth.
