COMPANY GOALS

Bloom Financial CEO Ben McCabe reached out to TeamRevenue for advice on his company’s sales strategy. Specifically, he wanted to use TeamRevenue’s revenue growth expertise to review and optimize the company’s current sales strategy and processes to help increase revenues and lay the foundation for a permanent VP of Sales.

CHALLENGES & OBSERVATIONS

As we began our three-month engagement, we identified the following challenges

  • Initially, sales had been a founder-supported initiative, but the multi-departmental responsibilities became too much to support sales effectively.
  • Win rates had declined as there was no time for day-to-day sales-call coaching. 
  • KPIs and sales targets were not defined, resulting in a lack of accountability.
  • Inconsistencies were present between direct sales and sales broker channels regarding sales organization design and lead flow.
  • The Broker channel did not have a defined outbound sales motion.
  • The sales incentive plan did not drive the desired lead conversion behavior. 
GROWTH IMPACT & OUTCOMES
  • Created a sales culture of accountability by establishing defined sales targets and providing ongoing sales support and  review of sales KPIs.  
  • Improved specialization and efficiencies by restructuring the sales team by lead types.
  • Drove a new performance culture by modifying the sales compensation and quotas structure to align with the company’s growth objectives.
  • Improved the key inbound lead conversion rates by 37.5% in a matter of weeks.
  • Supported and helped source Bloom Financial permanent VP of sales.

TeamRevenue was a transformative partnership for us. Thanks to their expertise in sales strategy and hands-on approach, we saw a significant increase in lead conversions within weeks. They also onboarded a top-tier VP of Sales, strengthening our sales leadership. I highly recommend TeamRevenue for sales optimization.

Ben, CEO, Bloom Financial
