Bitove Family Entrepreneurship Program

We had an excellent experience with the Bitove Family Entrepreneurship Program of Macedonia2025. The advice and support from our advisor, Mr. William (Bill) Murphy, were professional and broadened our horizons.

We gained a better understanding of the IT market in Canada, developed improved strategies and marketing models, and established new business connections. This resulted in increased efficiency and an expanded market. We entered negotiations with several new clients and successfully initiated projects with two of them. Formed new friendships and continue to feel the positive effects of the collaboration to this day. Thank you for the opportunity, and we look forward to participating in the program again.

We had an excellent collaboration with William (Bill) Murphy, our Canadian consultant assigned to us through the Bitove Entrepreneurs Program by Macedonia2025.

William helped us strengthen our brand, improve our market positioning in North America, and demonstrate that we are not just a workforce but offer expertise and solutions. He also brought experience from Asia, specifically Japan, and it was invaluable to hear his perspective, which greatly helped us strategize to strengthen our presence in that market.

Vori is a manufacturing company that continuously invests in the development of new products. This is a complex and lengthy process that requires both expertise and financial resources. Macedonia2025 provided us with both by connecting us with Ms. Lily Leung, with whom we conducted a two-week training program.

The results are excellent, and in about two months, we expect the new products to hit the shelves of many markets.

We sincerely thank Macedonia2025 and the Bitove Family Entrepreneurship Program for their activities, which inspire us and show, through actions, how one should love and support their own country.

After Richard left Macedonia we stayed in contact, I’ve increased the number of consultants in EQ Excellence, assigned agreement with consultants as partners and have long distance education with him. Richard has invested his time from June to August in 11 online sessions with us and had several educational sessions for supporting me in creating products.

Meanwhile EQ Excellence builds sales channels in Germany and Middle East countries. When we will be able to implement the PM process then we will be able to be present and go on the market.

Clients need these products for increasing their productivity, engagement and build loyal clients’ and employees I already have a client who have 600 employees and work 4 years with EQ Excellence. They are willing to receive training for PM with their top management.

We have built a stronger team, and we are working on a getting patent and certification for one of the product that we want to sell. These activities will give us more opportunities in the market also will help us to sell more and faster, especially abroad.

We managed to find the errors in our previous cost calculations and introduced a new mill with greater accuracy of calculation.

We additionally changed the formula for calculating profitability and the indicators that affect it.

We shared experiences in the field of new product development and product selection procedure.

Based on discussions and advice we had from the advisor, we started working on updating our organizational structure in the company by adding a few missing job positions which will make our working process more organized and will allow us to scale and grow the company faster.

We will also change a bit the sales process in our office in Munich. It is very early for the results from the changes to happen, but I think that in the next report we can add more information.

Other MSMEs should apply to the Bitove Family Entrepreneurship program because it gives them the opportunity to hear from top-notch consultants. They can learn from their experience, learn about different contexts, and adapt the knowledge gained to Macedonian conditions of work. Macedonian enterprises should make use of the recommendations and experiences of the great consultants within their companies.”
