About

Alper has spent fifteen years carrying the revenue number in B2B: three times a CRO, eight times a fractional CMO, one IPO and more than $60M closed. After Bain and Accenture, he was an early employee at MindGym through its LSE IPO, growing one vertical from £1M to £10M, built General Assembly's UK enterprise business from zero, and took Witco's UK revenue from £0 to £1M as CRO. He then co-founded Flowla, a VC-backed sales-tech SaaS, and won its first 100 clients. Today he runs Forte Growth, which builds and runs go-to-market and marketing for B2B founders growing beyond referrals: strategy first, outbound live inside three weeks, and the founder owns everything that is built. He also teaches go-to-market through workshops with HubSpot for Startups, Google for Startups and accelerators, and hosts the Growth Journey podcast.

Highlights

Engagements

  • Building a financial services vertical from £1M to £10M, through an IPO

    Flowla

    • 10x vertical growth
    • £1M to £10M
    • 1 IPO (LSE)
    Problem
    No financial services presence at all: no vertical credibility, no FS logos, no route in. Revenue lived in relationships, not a system.
    What they did
    Joined MindGym as employee #20 and stayed through its LSE listing. Built the financial services vertical from scratch: outbound into the sector, a proper sales process, white papers and events for FS buyers, and the brand and trust that made banks and insurers buy.
    Result
    Grew the financial services vertical from £1M to £10M, 10x, and the business listed on the London Stock Exchange.
    • Founder-led brand
    • Sales-tech SaaS
  • A marketing engine for an established digital signage company

    OMMA

    • 15 demos a month in eight weeks
    • £500K of pipeline in four months
    Problem
    Fifteen years in, a product customers never leave, and almost nobody outside their network knew it existed. New business came from whoever turned up at events.
    What they did
    Became their marketing team. Set the strategy and roadmap, rebuilt positioning and messaging for each buyer, ran LinkedIn and email outbound into five markets, moved them from Salesforce to HubSpot (2,400 deals transferred) with one pipeline, built the founder's LinkedIn brand, produced the sales collateral, and ran their Amazon Signage Stick partner launch and a new product pilot.
    Result
    From no demos to 15 a month in eight weeks, and £500K of pipeline in four months.
    • Positioning
    • Outbound
    • HubSpot migration
  • A UK enterprise function built from zero, landing Barclays and Deutsche Bank

    • £0 to a UK enterprise function
    • Barclays + Deutsche Bank landed
    Problem
    A US education brand landing in a UK market that didn't know it. Zero enterprise presence: no function, no logos, no motion.
    What they did
    Built General Assembly's UK enterprise business end to end. Set up the enterprise sales function, the enterprise motion and pricing, defined the sales process and stood up customer success.
    Result
    Closed enterprise deals with Barclays, Deutsche Bank and others, and left a working UK enterprise function behind.
