Cracking the US Market from New Delhi

Indian tech companies face unique challenges when targeting US enterprises: time zone gaps, cultural differences, lack of local presence, and buyers who expect in-person meetings. Sales Growth Imagination bridges that gap, serving as your US-based sales leadership team that builds the infrastructure, relationships, and credibility you need to win American customers.

Why US Market Entry Is Harder Than It Looks

You have great technology, competitive pricing, and a talented team in India. But when US prospects want an in-person meeting tomorrow and your experts are 12 time zones away, you’ve already lost the deal.

Breaking into the US market requires more than good software. It requires local credibility, documented processes that work across cultures and time zones, and sales infrastructure that compensates for not having face-to-face access every day.

Common obstacles Indian tech companies face:

  • Prospects expect local presence and immediate response during US business hours
  • Digital sales cycles require proactive nurturing or leads disappear to competitors
  • Buyer skepticism about working with offshore vendors requires stronger trust-building
  • Cost of sales rises dramatically when experts must travel for every prospect meeting
  • Lead leakages occur across channels when handoffs aren’t seamless across time zones
  • Cultural differences in sales approach create friction in the buying process

Your US Sales Leadership Team on the Ground

Sales Growth Imagination serves as your fractional VP of Sales in the United States, providing the local presence and sales infrastructure that makes cross-border selling work. We don’t just give you a list of recommendations. We build the systems, document the processes, manage the pipeline, and serve as your feet on the street.

How the partnership works:

Local Credibility
We represent your company in the US market with the credibility and presence American buyers expect. You get a US-based sales leader with 30+ years of experience who understands both how to sell to American enterprises and how to bridge cultural differences.

Infrastructure That Spans Time Zones
We build sales processes, playbooks, and CRM systems designed specifically for distributed teams. Documentation becomes critical when your technical experts are in New Delhi and your prospects are in New York.

Strategic Go-to-Market Planning
We help you determine the right entry strategy: which markets to target first, how to position against US competitors, and whether to start with a Trojan Horse offer that gets your foot in the door.

Pipeline Management & Forecasting
We install pipeline reviews, forecast accuracy, and deal progression criteria that give you visibility into your US sales operation despite the distance.

“As a Vistage Chair, I don’t take lightly the responsibility of recommending an advisor to one of my CEO members. When I introduced Dean Nolley to Raj Swami, CEO of 3iPeople, it was because I trusted Dean to bring both expertise and integrity to a critical growth challenge.

That trust was well placed. Dean stepped in as Sales Growth Architect and Outsourced VP of Sales at a pivotal moment for 3iPeople. He brought discipline, structure, and clarity to their sales organization—developing a strategic sales approach, building a scorecard for accountability, and creating the momentum Raj needed to scale in a highly competitive industry.

But what impressed me most was Dean’s servant-leader approach. He didn’t just install process—he built people. From recruiting and coaching new talent to developing the company’s current VP of Sales, Dean left a lasting mark on the culture and confidence of Raj’s team.

Just recently, Raj called to thank me for introducing Dean, sharing how grateful he was for both the results and the leadership Dean provided. As a Chair, I can say with confidence that I’d be proud to put my name behind Dean again in the future. “

“I’ve been a Business Development Manager at 3iPeople for several years, so when Dean joined as Outsourced VP of Sales—with no high-tech staffing background and replacing a seasoned VP—I was initially cautious. He quickly earned my trust by recognizing my unique challenge as the only rep outside Atlanta HQ and making sure I felt part of the team through regular meetings, best-practice calls, and ongoing coaching.

From day one, he brought structure, energy, and clarity—driving a strategic and collaborative approach. Dean built our new sales process and integrated it into our Salesforce CRM. Dean also partnered with Salesforce and a integration partner, Target Integration, to upgrade us to the right version of Salesforce, while having dynamic dashboards built to have live-time data that helps us proactively manage our pipeline. For a strategic approach to build key relationships, KnowledgeNet.ai was also integrated with web-hooks into Salesforce.

His leadership transformed our sales culture into a motivated, aligned team ready to drive revenue growth. He further found ways to help me out of the box, by making multiple introductions to Network leaders and other Trusted Advisors that he knew in Jacksonville. We were fortunate to have Dean at 3iPeople, and I know I can always count on him for guidance—because he truly cares about people and results.“
