The Client

Simple Solutions, a book and periodical publishing company headquartered in Cleveland, OH, set out to aggressively expand across the U.S. In 2019, their CEO acquired the business with a vision of scaling rapidly. By 2022, Simple Solutions turned to CultureFit to help them build out critical sales and client success teams. With a focus on K-8 education markets, these hires were key to their future growth.

The Challenge: Scaling Sales and Client Success Nationwide

Simple Solutions had a strong foothold in Cleveland and parts of Illinois, but their expansion strategy required top talent across the country; particularly in the Mountain West, Southeast, East Coast, and West Coast.

They needed sales professionals with proven K-8 experience in new business development, as well as client success managers to nurture existing relationships. Their leadership team turned to us not just for talent, but for a partner who could navigate regional nuances and deliver key hires with precision.

Our Approach: Aligned Growth Across Regions

With a direct relationship between Eric and Simple Solutions’ CEO, we partnered closely to understand their strategic goals. We placed a Director of Sales, setting the tone for the expansion. From there, we filled key new business development and client success roles, customized to each region’s needs. In just a few years, we’ve placed over 95% of the roles assigned to us, helping Simple Solutions secure top talent in key markets. Our national reach and targeted approach have made us integral to their scaling strategy.
