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.
