How can we work together?   7. My Company has not budgeted for this type of engagement. How can we work together?   Utilizing MetaDolce is not an expense, but rather an investment. Companies hire outside salespeople regularly, and they absorb all of the costs and overhead related to that person without any guarantees of results. By hiring MetaDolce instead, a company can mitigate its long and short term risk, since we don’t require any long tern commitments, and we perform at every step of the way. We generally save companies up to 45% of the cost of hiring an FTE to tackle an international assignment.
