The challenge
Enterprise-readytalentpricedlikeamid-marketshop.$35Kaveragedealsandhourlybillingleftmillionsonthetable.
The sales team was pricing critical security work like a commodity. Enterprise buyers questioned whether Theo was serious enough because proposals looked identical to boutique shops charging half the price. Senior consultants were stretched across too many small engagements when they should have been leading $150K assessments.
The approach
KorarepositionedTheo'sentirego-to-marketaroundenterprisevalueratherthanhourlydelivery.
We analyzed Theo's last 50 engagements and quantified the business impact of their work. This gave us the data to build a value-based pricing model tied to risk reduction. We restructured proposals into executive-level risk assessments and rebuilt the sales process around consultative discovery rather than technical demos.

"I was skeptical of consultants—we’d been burned before by firms that delivered pretty slides and then disappeared. Kora was different. They rolled up their sleeves, challenged our assumptions, and stayed until the changes actually stuck."
