What our customers say

"We are a small organization that does not possess the special competencies required to establish ourselves in the German market. We wanted to strengthen our relationships with our existing customers and create a larger platform of potential prospects. From the beginning, Michael Oerum has acted with a calm overview and helped create the structure it takes to achieve success. After thorough preparation, the journey has begun and Michael has taken the lead in all aspects. When the tasks have gone beyond the agreement, Michael has undertaken these too to achieve the goals we set."

“Michael Ørum has in-depth knowledge of the German-speaking markets, where he has been on the road and built new business opportunities within a business concept. Michael has an unusual profile because he is not only strong in finance, but also has a sales gene and can lead sales teams. He is a calm and competent person who builds trustworthy, lasting relationships. Many B&O dealers in Germany still reach out to him today for professional advice. During Michael's sales management, B&O reached new heights and results. If you have a business with a concept to be rolled out in the German market, Michael and Solutions By... are strong in both analysis and implementation."

"We reached out to Solutions By, because we needed a director for Gryphon. We heard that Michael and Carsten are both former B&O people and that they have a large network. The meeting went well and we were impressed about the level of candidates they presented. Both Carsten and Michael searched far and used their network to find the right candidate. Carsten and Michael have the industry-specific competencies and the industry-specific network. They really went the extra mile to solve the task and were professional and dedicated in making it happen. We are very happy with our new director and I'm glad we chose this type of specialist recruitment. In the board, we felt that a lot of effort was made and that the money was well spent. A nice feeling to be left with."

"The most important thing for me when it comes to choosing a partner is trust and honesty. Michael Ørum is a real person who walks his talk. He understands the interaction between different parties and gets everyone on board. He spots the different interests that are at stake in a negotiation and he finds a solution that suits all parties. He worked on a project for us in performance management and helped prepare a business report. This enabled us to see and understand the performance of our stores and online shop. He solved the task completely and it was a pleasure to work with him. The great relationship we had with Michael helped make the project a success."

"Solutions By Oerum has an excellent insight into retail and a very flexible approach to various tasks with short deadlines. During our collaboration we have received professional assistance with the production of complex performance management solutions. We have also experienced a very conscientious effort where it was a goal that we as a customer were satisfied."

Finn Petersen
CFO
Profil Optik

"I had Carsten from Solutions By... recommended through my German network, because I was looking for someone who could help get the German BORA-products into the Danish market. Carsten has led the sales work in Scandinavia to a point where after three years, we have 100 BORA dealers in Denmark and 350 in Scandinavia. I always bring Carsten along in negotiations because he is pleasant, convincing and trustworthy. He approaches the tasks with great energy and puts his heart and soul into his work. Carsten is extremely skilled in strategy, business development, collaboration, and sales. He has strong diplomatic skills, is extremely well-liked, and he speaks fluent German and understands German culture. Carsten is also a natural leader and has been a crucial part of BORA's success and expansion in the Scandinavian market."

"If I were a small or medium-sized company wanting to enter the German market, I would call Michael Ørum. He has done a lot during his time at B&O in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and he brings that complexity and experience with him into other contexts via Solutions By. Many smaller companies in Denmark may not have the capacity and know-how required to succeed in the German market. Michael has. He is a very pleasant person, well-liked, loyal and solution-oriented. He understands how an organization works, who can collaborate, and how he can create value for his customers."
