Better HR Sri Lanka Team Hits New Heights

January 2025 marks a major milestone for Better HR Sri Lanka, a record-breaking month where the team not only achieved but exceeded their sales target. To celebrate this achievement, the team gathered for a small treat at the Sri Lanka office, a moment that reflected the dedication, strategy, and persistence behind their success.

A Record-Breaking Start to 2025

Exceeding sales targets in a competitive and price-sensitive market wasn’t easy. Our Sri Lanka Country Manager, Prashanth Rajkrishna Rajaratnam, shares:

“One of the key challenges was maintaining consistent pipeline growth. Many businesses were still hesitant to shift from manual processes, which made decision-making cycles longer. It took personalized follow-ups, strong coordination, and a lot of adaptability from the team to get here.” 

The team’s monthly sales jumped from 7–11 clients to over 15 with higher invoice values. This success didn’t come from pushing harder, but from working smarter: improving lead qualification, strengthening partnerships, and tailoring demos to show real value across industries. 

Tackling Challenges with Strategy

With concerns like data security, system reliability, and industry fit at the forefront for clients, the team addressed them head-on:

” We adjusted demos to each business, offered strong support during the 14-day trial, and shared success stories from similar clients,” says Prashanth. “That built trust and helped overcome hesitations.”

The team also focused on fast, friendly support and consistent follow-ups, ensuring trials smoothly converted into paying customers. 

Better HR Sri Lanka: Rapid Growth Since 2022

Launched in April 2022, Better HR Sri Lanka now serves over 200 clients across industries such as IT, healthcare, advertising, restaurants, supermarkets, education, tourism, and more. This diverse reach is proof that Better HR’s solutions adapt seamlessly to different business needs from SMEs to large enterprises. 

The People Behind the Progress

Better HR Sri Lanka’s 10-member team, including three sales professionals and six customer success specialists, played a crucial role. They didn’t just close deals — they built relationships, delivered value, and made digital HR transformation feel easy for clients.

“We didn’t focus on the competition,” Prashanth explains. “We focused on our strengths local support, easy onboarding, and real feedback from our users.” 

Lessons to Carry Forward

From this success, several lessons stand out for future growth:

• Personalized demos close deals faster.
• Support during trial periods builds lasting trust.
• Industry-specific knowledge makes all the difference.
• Consistent follow-ups are more effective than one-off campaigns.

With a strong start to 2025, Better HR Sri Lanka is poised for even greater growth.

👏 A big thank you to our clients, partners, and the entire Better HR Sri Lanka team for making this achievement possible.
