Women-Owned Company Makes Prestigious Inc. 5000 List

    BEDMINSTER, NJ, August 18, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bedminster's Caryn Kopp known as the Chief Door Opener started her career as a lightbulb salesperson but the light bulb really went off in her head when she realized the sales process for many companies was broken and just didn't work. Alone, from her kitchen in her home in Bedminster, New Jersey she started a business development company - basically opening new relationships with important prospects for small companies to get the business owners and their sales people in the door so they could close business. Today, her company, Kopp Consulting, has evolved into a MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR BUSINESS and has earned a spot on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list as one of the nation's most successful private companies. Not only did they earn a spot, they are #1962, in the top 40%. The Inc. 5000 list has become the hallmark of entrepreneurial success over the last 35 years with the average company on the list growing annually by nearly 500 percent - results most businesses could only dream of.

"I am proud and honored to be included among the community of high-growth companies but I'm mostly proud of the growth we've contributed to our clients' businesses," says Caryn Kopp, Founder and Chief Door Opener at Kopp Consulting. "We grew this company because we are a team of high level, strategic thinkers who develop sales messaging and work the phones to personally engage decision makers and get our clients initial meetings. Our proprietary strategies work and clients keep coming back for more because we're helping them grow their businesses and give them access to sales opportunities they previously only dreamed about."

Many companies struggle with their own sales and sales teams, quarter after quarter, year after year. Kopp's proprietary Door Opener Service, Strategic Sales Insights and trademarked Moment of Yes Sales Message Development Process pave the way for clients to have a seat at the table with high profile, wish list prospects. These introductions help Kopp clients accelerate profitable sales and eliminate the barriers to success they previously experienced.

"When clients achieve success like adding over $5 million dollars in new revenue to their businesses, increasing close ratios from 20% to 48% or being included in RFPs AFTER the RFP process officially closed, we know we're doing business development right!" says Kopp.

Recently, two New Jersey based Door Opener clients, TeamPar and Phoenix Marketing Solutions, each closed sales of over $1 million dollars as a direct result of their partnership with Kopp's Door Opener Service. One of Kopp's Texas based technology clients targeting C level executives in large media and entertainment companies had meetings with Sony, Fox, ABC, NBC, Warner Bros, Viacom and Disney, to name a few, due to Door Opener strategies.

Kopp had the idea for the Door Opener Service 17 years ago at a gym after a woman business owner called out, "Anyone want any part time work?" Kopp had taken a year off to have her second child and was thinking about starting a business. Kopp said, "How would it be if I got you in the door with your prospects for the first meeting?" Kopp met her first few clients at the pool and kindergarten welcome lunch. When Kopp had more clients than time available she hired her first Door Opener . Instead of hiring an inexpensive seller who needed onboarding, training, management, etc., all time drains, Kopp hired a senior level business developer who had also previously been a corporate decision maker. This person knew exactly what to do to get the doors opened, had sales intuition and wanted to do the job. Hiring experienced talent became the Kopp business model. "We know how to find and hire sales 'openers' the most difficult of all the sales hires," says Kopp.

"We're very proud to be honored with the Inc. 5000 status. And thankful for our incredible clients and the work our Door Openers do for them every day," said Kopp.

The 2015 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 18 to September 22) is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

"The story of this year's Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don't achieve that kind of success by accident."
