Overcoming Challenging Obstacles
Codleo Consulting faced several challenges when it was initially started, some of which are:
- Financial Investment and Funding: Investing personal capital was the only option to get started with a start-up. During that time, the founder was not exactly flush with funds and money to invest because she came from a middle-class family. However, investing all of one’s savings into the business was a risky move.
- Putting Together the Core Team: With hitches along the road, it took time and careful planning to choose the ideal group of brilliant and motivated young people to ensure that the right mix would be present. Finding the appropriate person for the right job was and continues to be difficult.
- Getting Brands and Businesses to Trust a Start-up with Work: The initialization of Codleo Consulting was not easy. However, the team believed in themselves during the difficult times. This confidence helped them to persuade brands to give them a chance, since no brand wants to work with new players who aren’t tried and tested. Within a year, they acquired around 30+ customers of several sizes, regions, and industry verticals.
- Reputation in the Market: To be a trusted brand in the market is a massive undertaking that is achieved slowly and steadily, with both perseverance and heart. The company has secured its standing in a short period of time due to its adherence to best practices, client-first focus & the quality of solutions offered by Codleo Consulting.
