Last summer, we spoke with Mort Sayyed, co-founder of Minlopro Partners, a Salesforce consulting firm headquartered in Milwaukee, at the end of an impressive first year. The company reached $5 million in revenue and expanded to 44 employees.

Now, as they near the end of their second year, Sayyed shares even more exciting news.

“In the last year alone, we have doubled our revenue. We have doubled our customer base. When I talked to you last year, we were hovering just under 100 customers. We’re now over 200. We had just hit this phenomenal $5 million milestone. To double that in the next year is exciting and so motivating. I wake up every morning with a purpose. (I ask myself) How do we get better? How do we take what we’re doing now, not lose sight of it, but keep growing and keep bringing this energy to our clients and our employees,” he said.

Such achievements are uncommon. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 30% of new businesses fail by their second year.
