Business Development in Africa — Customers, Distributors and Partners
Business development in Africa is a discipline, not a lucky break. Linka Solutions runs structured, accountable business development programmes across African markets — building target account lists, executing executive outreach, opening doors through our network, and converting first meetings into qualified opportunities and signed agreements.
What business development africa looks like when it's done properly.
We agree the definition of a qualified opportunity up front — decision-maker, budget, need, timeline — and every meeting is tracked against that standard.
Our 15-year network of distributors, corporates, ministries and industry bodies means outreach lands with context, not cold-email templates.
Structured follow-through, in-country meeting attendance and stakeholder management shorten sales cycles that would otherwise stall between capitals.
Weekly working pipeline reviews with your team and a formal monthly executive report covering movement, wins, blockers and next steps.
A disciplined path from question to commercial outcome.
