CHALLENGES

Sales Ops challenges amidst global expansion.

Teamwork faced challenges in their sales operations due to limited visibility and reporting in their sales pipeline, insufficient deal progression and forecasting functionality, and a reactive approach to sales management. 

Inadequate CRM System

The existing CRM was inadequate for Teamwork.com's growing scale and lacked the necessary features for a dynamic sales environment. This challenge was intensified as they transitioned from Marketo and their homegrown CRM, requiring a strategic approach to migrating essential data and processes while adopting best practices for the new system.

Limited Sales Visibility and Reporting

Teamwork's rapid growth highlighted the limitations of their homegrown CRM system in providing sufficient sales visibility and reporting capabilities. The lack of advanced reporting and dashboard functionalities made it challenging to gain a comprehensive view of the sales pipeline and deal progress. This limited visibility led to challenges in forecasting, strategic planning, and effectively managing the sales cycle.

Inefficiencies in Deal Management

Sales solution inefficiencies resulted in a cumbersome deal management process, impeding the team's productivity. Sales reps struggled with managing and tracking deals efficiently, leading to increased manual work and time consumption. These inefficiencies hindered the sales team's ability to focus on strategic projects and hampered overall performance.
