From shop to system: how I doubled my drainage business in 2 years — and how you can too.

I'm Miroslav Ćurčić. 20+ years in drainage — 9 at HL Hutterer & Lechner (manufacturer side), 11+ as Hiposistem founder (distribution side). I've seen this industry from both ends. What doubled the business at HL Austria — and now at Hiposistem — wasn't a slogan. It was real technical advice, expertise that stays when people leave, fast onboarding that keeps customer trust, and marketing built on facts. AI now automates that system — for manufacturers who want to deploy it across their distributor network, and distributors who want to lead their region.

What diagnostic selling really is

Not a tactic. Not a slogan. A system that survives people leaving.

Distributors lose value the moment a key salesperson walks out the door. Manufacturers lose visibility into how their products get sold across markets. Diagnostic selling — done right — keeps the expertise in the company, not in someone's head, and standardizes the customer experience across an entire network.

01

Real technical advice, not pitches

Customer asks one question, you ask three back. You sell what fits the project, not what's on shelf. They come back because the advice was right — not because of a discount.

02

Knowledge stays in the company

When your best salesperson leaves, the customer relationship doesn't go with them. The diagnostic flow, product logic, and customer history live in the system — searchable, transferable, permanent.

03

Fast onboarding protects trust

New employee starts Monday, handles real customers Tuesday. Same questions, same recommendations, same quality of advice. Customers don't notice the change — and that's the point.

04

Marketing of facts, not promises

Every product page, blog post, and chat answer is grounded in technical reality. No 'best in class' fluff. Customers feel the difference — and so do search engines and AI tools that decide what to cite.

What's new: AI now automates this system end-to-end. Distributors get it for their region. Manufacturers deploy it across their distributor network — one engagement, every market consistent. The only people who'll get the benefit are those who can adapt to change.

2x sales in 2 years — digital only, zero fieldwork

We doubled sales using only digital tools — no field reps, no trade shows, no cold calls. SEO, social media, email automation, and AI-powered technical support. Pure digital, real results.

As marketing manager at HL Hutterer & Lechner in Austria, I grew the Czech market by 60% in just 3 months. I've doubled sales at least 5 times across my career. This isn't theory — it's a repeatable system.

We're pioneers in using AI for technical sales in the drainage industry. While others are still figuring out digital, we're already deploying AI chatbots, automated recommendations, and intelligent content systems that sell 24/7.

What was built:

Professional Shopify catalog. Active, native-language social media. Local SEO strategy. Automated email system. Everything documented so the team understands what to do.

What's in the system

Two AI engines. Built for your catalog.

Diagnostic Sales Engine and Training Engine are the heart. Everything else is supporting infrastructure that connects them to your market.

The two engines
CORE

Diagnostic Sales Engine

AI that runs real diagnostic conversations with your customers — asking the right questions, applying technical rules, recommending the exact product. Same logic across web chat, sales rep tools, and customer support.

Trained on your catalog · diagnostic flow extracted from your top sellers · multilingual
CORE

DSE Training Engine

Hire and train sales reps without losing months. Candidates face real AI customer simulations, take product knowledge tests, and complete situational assessments. Admin dashboard tracks readiness — you see who's ready for the field before you put them there.

Candidate screening · onboarding simulator · ongoing skill maintenance
Supporting infrastructure

Native-language content

Product pages, technical guides, blog posts written in your customer's language by someone who knows drainage — not a translator who doesn't.

Email automation

New products, price changes, technical guides delivered to the right segment automatically. Keep customers informed without burning out your team.

Social presence in your market

LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook in your language with content calendar. Built once, maintainable by your team — not dependent on me.

Process automation

Catch what's breaking down in your sales process. Quote generation, follow-up sequences, lead routing. AI handles repetition — humans handle relationships.

ARC™ Framework

How We Deploy DSE With You

Same ARC™ framework I teach distributors to use with their customers — applied here to deploy your Diagnostic Sales Engine. For manufacturers: one engagement, deployed across your distributor network. Not consulting. A working AI system, end-to-end.

A

Agreement

30-min audit call. We define scope: which products go into the AI catalog, which languages, your region, your team. Free 3-month pilot starts when we both say yes.

R

Root Cause

I sit with your top salespeople — extract the diagnostic flow, the questions that close deals, the gotchas customers ask. Your tribal knowledge becomes structured AI rules. This is the part nobody else can do for you.

C

Choices

You see the working system on your products: AI chat, training engine for new hires, candidate assessment for hiring. You test, give feedback, choose what stays. No black box, no surprises.

S

Soft Landing

System runs in production. Your team uses it daily — with or without me. I stay close for 6 months for tuning, then it's yours. The point is independence, not dependency.

About

Built by someone who sold drainage from both sides

20+ years in drainage. 9 years at HL Hutterer & Lechner (Austria HQ as Strategic Project Manager, regional roles in Serbia/Montenegro/Macedonia/Cyprus). 11+ years as Co-Founder & Managing Director of Hiposistem in Belgrade. I've developed 16 new HL products, doubled revenue 2 years in a row from Vienna, then built my own distribution business in Serbia from scratch. I know what diagnostic selling really protects — because I've seen what gets lost when it's missing.

Sheffield MBA. PMP. ICE-AC. Prosci Change Management Practitioner. LeSS Basics. Blue Ocean Strategy. TBR Certified Trainer. AI/ML Product Manager since 2019 — including a €2M AI project. As far as I know, I'm the only person in drainage distribution with this combination — and that's the point. It's why this approach hasn't existed until now.

"This is the system I wish I'd had — at HL Austria when I was launching products into 50 distributors who all sold them differently, and at Hiposistem when key salespeople left and customer relationships went with them. It works for both sides."

Your data, my expertise — clearly separated

Your data stays yours: Product catalog, customer conversations, lead capture — your property, your account, exportable any time. NDA on request. GDPR-compliant EU infrastructure.

My expertise stays real: 20+ years in drainage, real Hiposistem case (verifiable), Diagnostic Sales methodology I built and use myself daily. Not a generic chatbot dressed up as drainage.

Manufacturer or network

For manufacturers, networks, custom

If you're a manufacturer (or run a distributor network), one engagement deploys DSE across all your distributors. White-label, multi-region, your brand consistent across markets. Same playbook also fits custom situations: franchise networks, ERP migrations, multi-brand portfolios. Tell me your scope.

Not sure where you fit? Or have another AI idea?

I'm all-in on moving drainage distribution forward — and curious about AI ideas I haven't thought of yet. Maybe you have one. Set up a call, exchange experiences, and we'll see if we're a fit for what's coming in AI for our industry. If we're not a fit, we'll know in 30 minutes — but at minimum we both learn something.
