Working with 11
What is 11 Business Development and what do you do?
11 Business Development (إليفن لتطوير الأعمال) is a Saudi marketing, sales and business development partner for small and medium-sized businesses, working since 2015. We cover strategy and business development, social media management, content creation, paid advertising management, lead generation, customer and opportunity management, sales support and deal closing, and websites and e-commerce stores.
What's the difference between a marketing agency and a business development partner?
A marketing agency usually stops at reach, engagement and ads. A business development partner connects marketing to sales: it brings in leads, organizes the follow-up, supports your team through to the close, and measures success in opportunities and deals, not posts or views.
Do you work with businesses starting from scratch?
Yes. We work with businesses at three stages: starting from scratch and needing a presence, a strategy and a first customer acquisition system; established and wanting more customers and sales; and ready to scale with a stronger commercial function.
Do I need an in-house marketing team to work with you?
No. 11 can work as an external partner responsible for developing and managing the marketing and commercial side of your business: marketing, advertising, content, lead generation, customer management and sales. If you already have a team, we work alongside it and fill the gaps.
Services
Do you help with follow-up and sales, or only marketing?
Both. We organize and follow up with leads, understand their needs, manage each stage of the conversation, and support the sales process from first contact through negotiation and closing, so the opportunities your marketing brings in are not lost.
Which platforms do you run ads on?
We plan and manage paid campaigns on the digital platforms where your audience actually is. In Saudi Arabia that commonly means Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram and Google. The mix is chosen around your audience, product, budget and campaign goal.
Can you build a website or online store?
Yes. We design and develop websites and online stores that support the customer experience and your business goals, planned together with marketing, ads and lead follow-up as one system. The platform, such as Salla, Zid or a custom site, is chosen around your products and operations.
Do you create content, design and video?
Yes. Content creation covers creative design, video, Reels, motion graphics and ad creative, written in Arabic in the tone that suits your audience, and in English where needed.
Pricing & engagement
How much do your services cost?
There is no fixed price list, because every business needs something different. Cost depends on scope: which services, how many platforms, how much content, and whether ad management and lead follow-up are included. We discuss it in the free consultation, then send a clear scope and cost before you commit to anything.
Do you have fixed packages?
We adapt our work to your needs rather than forcing every business into the same package. Scope is built around your stage (starting from scratch, established, or ready to scale) and around the part of your commercial system that is actually missing.
Do I need a long-term contract?
Engagement length and terms depend on the scope of work, and we agree them clearly before starting. We go through them with you in the first consultation, so you know exactly what you are committing to.
What advertising budget do I need?
It varies by sector, competition, city and goal. We propose a realistic starting budget in the plan, then increase or reallocate it based on results. The ad budget is agreed clearly and separately from the service fee.
Process & timelines
How do we get started?
Book a free consultation on the website, or message us on WhatsApp at +966 50 385 7848. In the consultation we understand your business and goals and identify the gap between marketing and sales, then propose a plan, scope and clear cost.
When will I see results?
Early signals such as messages and inquiries usually appear soon after campaigns go live. Stable performance takes time to test and refine targeting, messages and follow-up. We don't promise numbers before we understand your business; we agree realistic milestones with you in the plan.
How do you measure success, and will I get reports?
We measure what matters commercially: number of leads, cost per lead, opportunity quality and lead-to-sale conversion. You get regular reports, review meetings and recommendations for the next period, at a rhythm we agree in the plan.
Sectors
Which industries do you have experience in?
We have worked with 75+ clients across 10–15+ sectors in the Saudi market, including interior design, woodworking and joinery, furniture, fashion and clothing, gyms and sportswear, accessories, gifts, children's toys, English language centers, e-commerce and services.
My sector isn't listed. Can you still help?
Most likely, yes. The list shows the main sectors we've worked in, and our experience extends to others. What matters is understanding how your customers buy, which is the first step of how we work. Tell us about your business in the consultation and we'll be honest about whether we're the right fit.
Contact
Which cities in Saudi Arabia do you serve?
We work with businesses in cities across the Kingdom. The first consultation and most day-to-day communication happen by phone, video call and WhatsApp, so your location is not a barrier.
