Sales-Driven Business
Case Study
The Challenge
Sales team struggling to track leads, manage customer relationships, and follow up effectively. Lost opportunities due to poor pipeline management and lack of coordination.
The sales organization with 50+ sales representatives was using spreadsheets, email, and sticky notes to manage leads and customer relationships. There was no centralized system to track the sales pipeline, leading to lost opportunities and poor follow-up. Sales managers had no visibility into what deals were in progress, which leads were hot, or where the team needed support. Field sales teams couldn't access customer information when meeting clients, and follow-up tasks were frequently missed. The lack of coordination meant multiple sales reps sometimes contacted the same prospect, creating confusion. Without proper tracking, the company couldn't forecast sales accurately, making it difficult to plan resources and set realistic targets.
