Why NO BS Exists

Building in Asia is not a single decision.
It’s a series of choices that compound over time.
NO BS exists to help founders and revenue leaders make those choices with confidence.

The reality of building in Asia

Expanding into Asia is rarely a single decision.

It’s a sequence of decisions:

  • where to start

  • who to sell to

  • how to show up credibly

  • what to invest in

  • and what to ignore

Some companies come to Asia early.

Others arrive after initial success elsewhere.

Many have already hired, partnered, or run pilots by the time they speak to us.

All of these are valid starting points.

The challenge is not entering Asia.

It’s knowing what to do next with confidence.

Progress feels slow and unclear

In Asia, progress often looks different than expected.

You may see:

  • preference for status quo, reluctance for new conversations

  • strong interest but slow movement

  • encouraging conversations without clear ownership

  • pilots that generate learning but not momentum

  • traction in one country that doesn’t translate to another

None of this means Asia “doesn’t work”.

It usually means the context has shifted — by market, buyer, maturity, or timing — but the approach to selling hasn’t.

Where common approaches struggle

As companies grow, they often layer on solutions:

  • Advisors to sense-check strategy

  • Early hires to “build presence”

  • Partners to accelerate access

  • Internal teams to localize and scale

Each of these can work.

Problems arise when decisions are made without enough live signal from the market.

Or when early assumptions go untested for too long.

That’s usually when effort increases, but conviction doesn’t.

Why we exist

NO BS exists to help companies regain clarity.

Sometimes that’s at the very beginning.

Sometimes it’s after a first hire.

Sometimes it’s after pilots, partnerships, or early revenue.

Our role is not to replace what you’ve already done.

It’s to help you understand what’s working, what isn’t, and why — so the next set of decisions is grounded.

Asia rewards companies that:

  • listen closely

  • adapt deliberately

  • and scale with intent

The NO BS approach

We don’t operate from theory or templates.

We work alongside founders and revenue leaders to:

  • run real sales conversations

  • observe buyer behaviour firsthand

  • test messaging, positioning, and routes to market

  • identify where momentum is real versus situational

Decisions are shaped by:

  • quantitative data from live activity

  • qualitative insight from buyers

  • learnings from live deals

  • learnings from active sellers in the market

  • pattern recognition across markets and stages

This applies whether you are:

  • testing Asia for the first time

  • correcting course mid-way

  • or deciding what to scale next

When to call us

Reach out when:

  • Asia matters strategically

  • progress exists but feels uneven

  • confidence in the next step is low

  • and the cost of guessing is high

What success looks like

Success is not a predefined outcome.

Success is clarity:

  • clarity on where to focus

  • clarity on who to hire (or not hire)

  • clarity on what to scale

  • clarity on what to stop doing

Real clarity driven by real market interactions, successes and failures.

Not by anecdotes, fluff and snazzy decks.

With that clarity, companies move faster — and with fewer regrets.

That’s why NO BS exists.
