# Case Study - In-Sync

Company  In-Sync Group

Location

United Kingdom

Industry

Finance & Accounting

Talent Hub

Cape Town, South Africa

### Challenge

IN-SYNC recognised an opportunity to expand its sales operation offshore due to the challenges of attrition in the UK financial services market.

The competitive landscape made it difficult to find and retain top sales talent, resulting in high turnover rates. This situation opened the door to exploring new avenues for growth and development within a broader talent pool.

### Solution

IN-SYNC's existing partnership with Potentiam for offshore teams in data analysis, technology, operations, and customer service led to exploring the feasibility of an offshore sales team.

Potentiam conducted a comprehensive review of potential locations, ultimately recommending Cape Town for its capability levels, cost of staff, time-zone compatibility, and cultural fit.

### Result

The Cape Town sales team quickly became a success, boosting sales performance for the business at large. The team grew to ten staff members within two years with minimal attrition and has now surpassed the size of the UK team, delivering extraordinary energy and performance. 

## Introduction to IN-SYNC Group

IN-SYNC Group provides specialised financial services to the self-employed and small businesses in the UK. Their offerings include accountancy, tax management, VAT services, and payroll solutions aimed at maximising take-home pay and operational efficiency.  With over 55,000 clients, IN-SYNC combines expert human support with advanced technology to deliver personalised and effective financial management solutions.

In partnership with Potentiam, a detailed business case outlining the optimal staff profile, team design, career paths, reward structures, and HR performance management processes was developed.

Potentiam's Cape Town talent acquisition team shortlisted high-calibre candidates for the Commercial Director and key stakeholders to interview. Finally, Potentiam’s dedicated HR Business Partner collaborated with IN-SYNC to onboard the new sales team, ensuring robust training, IT support, and office setup.

## Result

The Cape Town sales team quickly became a success, boosting sales performance for the business at large. The team grew to ten staff members within two years with minimal attrition and has now surpassed the size of the UK team, delivering extraordinary energy and performance.
