Ascend was co-founded by Tony Parkinson and Steve Royer, two senior software executives with decades of experience. They have assembled a talented group of proven veterans to assist in the rollout of your sales and marketing campaigns.
Given the broad scope and expertise of the Ascend team, we can provide our clients with a larger US presence than can be afforded by the direct staffing model.
While our model is well structured for start-up and early-stage companies, our value proposition extends equally to growth and later stage companies as they expand their markets, shift strategies, introduce new products offerings, or expand their geographic reach.
Ascend’s US-based management can help you achieve greater results sooner due to our location, experience, language skills and knowledge of the payments industry.
Partnering with the experts at Ascend allows your business to avoid the mistakes common to international expansion. It allows your management team to save time and focus on what you do best while Ascend builds a pipeline of prospects.
Can you afford to spend 12, 18, or 24 months hiring, training, managing, and growing a US-based team? How much revenue will be lost while you are implementing your staffing plan? Ascend has the resources to introduce your company and offerings to the payments market today.
As your US-based revenue grows through Ascend’s efforts, we can implement a transition plan by assisting in the hiring of quality employees to run your US operations. With over three decades in this industry, we have a rich network of proven sales talent that can provide strong candidates for your organization.
“…lead generation to qualification to requirements analysis to POC in weeks, not months … Ascend is a highly capable, experienced partner we can depend upon…”

“…how do I recruit world-class sales talent in North America at this stage of our growth, with limited capital resources and minimal knowledge of the Americas markets? We did not need to due to our 15-month relationship with Ascend.”

“…virtually immediate pipeline stream and targeted channel acceptance… 3x as effective as my last direct hire in just the first quarter. Ascend MT put our solutions in front of budget owners, gained immediate credibility due to their years in the market, and established a beach-head for expansion.”
