Our client, a solar energy sales company, had a dedicated sales team of 20 professionals who were struggling with inefficient client management and fragmented communication processes. They needed a robust CRM solution to streamline their operations, improve client engagement, and enhance team productivity.

The primary goals of the project were:

To develop a CRM tailored to the sales team’s specific workflows.

To automate lead management and client communication.

To organize team assignments and scheduling.

To provide actionable insights through custom reporting.

We began by mapping out the key steps in the client’s marketing, sales, and fulfillment workflows. The CRM was designed to encompass every stage of the customer journey, from initial lead nurturing to post-sale support. We built detailed pipelines to:

Track and manage leads through various stages of engagement.

Ensure seamless transitions from sales to fulfillment.

Maintain high levels of customer support after the sale is completed.

This setup allowed the team to have a clear view of each customer’s current stage, improving overall workflow efficiency.

Prior to the new CRM, the team used Google Sheets to track their clients, which led to disorganization and inefficiencies. We successfully migrated their existing client data into the new CRM and integrated it into the appropriate pipelines. Additionally, we set up automation to ensure that all new leads from online forms, Google My Business messages, social media, emails, calls, and SMS were automatically added to the CRM, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring no lead was missed.

Given that clients interacted with various team members throughout their journey, we designed custom workflows to automate team member assignments based on the client’s current stage. The CRM sent automatic notifications to the appropriate team members, ensuring that each client was promptly managed and that tasks and workflows were updated as clients progressed through different stages.

To address the slow and often manual client communication process, we implemented custom automation workflows. Each new client received immediate, personalized email and SMS communications with next steps and introductory information. This automation extended to updates on fulfillment, requests for reviews and referrals, and promotional campaigns, significantly reducing manual effort and improving response times.

The CRM included a sophisticated appointment scheduling system. It allowed appointment setters to schedule sales appointments seamlessly, with automatic assignment of sales representatives based on availability and predefined criteria. The system also sent out automatic reminders and confirmations to both clients and team members, enhancing efficiency, reducing no-show rates, and ensuring accountability.

To enable effective management and performance tracking, we developed a suite of custom reports. These reports included:

Marketing Reports: Tracking new leads, lead sources, and campaign performance.

Call Reports: Monitoring outbound call metrics such as missed calls, call volume, and SMS response rates.

Appointment Setter Reports: Analyzing appointments set, no-show rates, and cancellations.

Sales Reports: Evaluating consultations, closing rates, and sales performance.

Fulfillment Reports: Assessing customer volume, time spent in each fulfillment stage, and overall delivery efficiency.

These reports provided actionable insights, helping the management team make informed decisions and continuously improve their processes.

The implementation of the custom CRM transformed the client’s operations:

Enhanced Efficiency: Streamlined workflows and automated processes significantly reduced manual tasks and improved team productivity.

Improved Client Engagement: Automated communication and lead management increased client satisfaction and retention.

Optimized Scheduling: Coordinated appointment scheduling minimized manual coordination and improved overall team output.

Actionable Insights: Custom reporting provided valuable data for strategic decision-making and performance monitoring.
