The Challenge
Leads were being taken down on paper, searched for through thousands of documents, and eventually, lost.
- Lead generation by a telemarketing staff was not consistent week over week
- Limited visibility into historical appointments of an existing prospect
- Sales were stagnant
- Excel pricebooks were very difficult to update
- Sales Manager spent most of his day scheduling and confirming appointments rather than managing and coaching his staff to increase sales
- Internal communication was done via post-it notes
- Reporting was manually done by looking at every lead sheet and tallying KPIs for every marketer, lead source, and sales representative individually
- Sophisticated reporting was not possible.
The Solution
- Migrated the entire marketing and sales departments from paper to a build out of Sales Cloud Lightning with Chatter.
