YoAgents

YoAgents operates as a sales acceleration hub, providing companies with an on-demand, outsourced sales force. The firm primarily targets startups and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that need to validate their product in the market, test pricing strategies, or expand their reach without the overhead of an in-house sales team. YoAgents was founded in Milan, Italy, within the Digital Magics incubator, which as of June 2018, held a majority stake in the company.

The company's core offering is 'Sales as a Service,' a model where clients can essentially rent a structured sales team. This service includes a team of dedicated agents who focus on a client's project for a set period, typically 16 weeks, to test and optimize the sales strategy. The business model is not performance-based but requires a guaranteed minimum investment, covering the provision of agents, a call center for setting appointments, and marketing support. In June 2018, the company secured €415,000 in a seed funding round from backers including Atandia, Moffu Labs, Boost Heroes, 3LB Seed Capital, Lorenzo Dal Verme, and Digital Magics. This capital was allocated to enhance its technology and expand its business model.

The platform connects its client companies with a community of sales professionals, referred to as 'ambassadors'. These ambassadors—comprising agents, representatives, and sales talents—use the YoAgents mobile application to select services to promote, access sales materials, and manage their agreements and commissions. For client companies, YoAgents provides a dashboard to manage their network of ambassadors and monitor campaign results in real-time. The company's services extend beyond a mobile workforce to include physical and digital lead generation, building qualified customer lists through data scraping, and the complete recruitment and training process for creating or expanding a commercial network. YoAgents also facilitates partnerships for employee welfare and flexible benefits programs, having established agreements with over 50,000 businesses across Italy.
