Case Study 01

Inbound lead automation at a sales-driven business.

Industry: B2B Sales · Outbound team transitioning to inbound
Missed booked meetings
6 missed
Lead channels unified
3 routes to 1 system
Manual routing
Fully automated

The Situation

An outbound-first sales organization wanted to start capturing inbound demand. Three channels were generating activity (form submissions, booked meetings, and call-ins), but none had a defined process. The team was missing roughly half of every meeting booked online, admin time was disappearing into manual calendar reconciliation, and call-ins were bouncing between the Director of Sales and an Executive Assistant who wasn't set up to qualify them.

The Approach

Every inbound lead, regardless of source, needed to land in a single trusted system with a clear owner. Slack was the team's most reliable channel, so it became the central routing destination.

The Solution

We built a HubSpot-native Calendly booking flow with round-robin assignment across every account executive, ensuring each form-booked meeting landed on the right calendar automatically. Inbound calls were routed through the call provider on a round-robin queue (SDRs first, AEs as backup), and a Zapier integration captured every call detail (recording, contact information, connection status) into a dedicated Slack channel. Every new contact automatically generated a HubSpot lead, entered the appropriate stage, and triggered reminders until the AE dispositioned it.

The Result

Missed meetings dropped to near zero. Manual calendar management was eliminated, and every inbound lead now flows through a single channel with clear ownership and automated follow-through.

The ROI

Recovered approximately half of the inbound lead volume that was previously slipping through. Reclaimed several hours per week of administrative overhead. Established consistent CRM data quality for the first time, enabling reliable inbound performance reporting.

Case Study 02

Sales dashboards and reports for an SDR, AE, and renewal team.

Industry: B2B Sales Operations · Multi-team sales org with renewals
Clients retained early
9 in a single month
Dashboards built
SDR · AE · Renewals
Renewal visibility
Reactive to forecasted

The Situation

A multi-team sales organization had CRM reporting in place but couldn't trust it. Critical metrics like meeting outcomes, reschedules, cancellations, and SDR promotion criteria were either missing or inaccurate. Renewals were managed reactively, one month at a time, with no visibility into who was at risk or why.

The Approach

We rebuilt every existing report from scratch and created the renewal dashboard from the ground up. To surface churn drivers, we added structured fields capturing non-renewal reason and contract year, then backfilled the historical data.

The Solution

The backfilled data revealed clear patterns immediately. Most non-renewals were financially driven, and most occurred in years one and two of the contract. That insight enabled leadership to roll out targeted, low-cost retention promotions. The renewals pipeline was rebuilt for two-person operation with an early-renewal report flagging contracts coming due three months out, replacing the previous reactive month-of-renewal motion. The full system was documented with hygiene SOPs to ensure long-term data integrity.

The Result

In a single month, the team renewed nine clients whose contracts weren't up for another three months. Under the previous reactive process, those conversations wouldn't have started until the renewal month, and most of those deals would have churned.

The ROI

Nine retained clients in a single month who would otherwise have churned. Three executive-grade dashboards delivering trustworthy data. A clean renewals pipeline capable of forecasting. The renewal team moved from reactive monthly triage to a proactive, forecasted motion.

Case Study 03

Pipeline build and quoting migration for an account executive team.

Industry: B2B Sales · AE team using outsourced quoting
Required field compliance
Enforced at every stage
Platforms consolidated
Quoting moved into CRM
Backend reporting fields
Automated and hidden from AE view

The Situation

A B2B sales team's pipeline was functional but inconsistently maintained. Required deal fields were routinely skipped, leaving reporting unreliable and forecasting compromised. The organization was also paying for a separate quoting and contract platform that duplicated capabilities already available in their CRM.

The Approach

Rather than relying on AE memory, we restructured the CRM to enforce field requirements at the stage transitions themselves. In parallel, we planned to migrate quoting and contract delivery into the CRM, consolidating onto a single platform.

The Solution

Custom deal views were configured by stage, with field requirements that block stage progression until satisfied. Automated backend fields were added to power richer reporting without cluttering the AE interface. Quoting, subscription management, and contract delivery were rebuilt natively inside the CRM, fully documented with SOPs for the team.

The Result

Field compliance moved from requested to enforced at every stage. The outsourced quoting platform was retired entirely, with the full quote-to-contract workflow running natively in the CRM.

The ROI

Eliminated the recurring cost of a duplicate platform. Cleaner data flowing into every downstream report and forecast. AEs reduced time spent on data entry because the system surfaces requirements contextually instead of leaving them open-ended.

Tech stack audit and consolidation for a growing services business.

Industry: B2B Services · Mid-size company with significant tech investment
Monthly savings identified
$9,000
Annual savings
$108,000
Tech stack outcome
Consolidated and migrated

The Situation

A mid-size services business had built up a substantial tech stack across sales, marketing, and operations without a recent review. Leadership suspected there was overlap and overspend, but lacked visibility into where consolidation was possible.

The Approach

During the Audit, we requested access to every platform under active subscription. Each tool was mapped by function, overlap, and gap, producing a clear picture of where consolidation was viable and where genuine capability gaps remained.

The Solution

The Audit delivered a full tech stack analysis and a consolidation roadmap. The client then moved into the 30 Day Build to execute the migration. Automations from the retired platforms were rebuilt inside the new consolidated stack, allowing the company to carry forward existing workflows without starting from scratch or bringing in additional consultants.

The Result

The Audit identified $9,000 per month in redundant platform spend. Following migration, that capital remained in the business while operational capability was fully preserved.

The ROI

$9,000 per month in eliminated software costs, $108,000 annually. Reduced training overhead from a smaller toolset, and a cleaner foundation that makes every future automation faster and cheaper to build.

HR write-up automation at a large industrial manufacturer.

Industry: Industrial Manufacturing · Large manufacturer with on-site HR
Missing signatures resolved
5 of 5
Manual steps reduced
11 to 5
Compliance
Termination capability restored

The Situation

A large industrial manufacturer's HR department was managing employee write-ups through an entirely paper-based, eleven-step process. Documents routinely got lost between managers and HR. When we engaged, five write-ups had never been signed, and one of those gaps was actively blocking the termination of an employee who could not be processed without the signature on file.

The Approach

HR was already moving toward digital employee files. The bottleneck wasn't the documentation itself; it was the manual back-and-forth between managers and HR. The solution had to preserve the one piece of paper that legally required a wet signature (the employee acknowledgment), while moving every other step into the Microsoft tools the company already owned.

The Solution

A Microsoft Forms intake captured incident details, dates, reasons, and standardized template language. Upon submission, the form notified an HR manager via Teams for review. Approved write-ups generated a locked PDF returned to the manager for employee signature. The signed document was then scanned into the digital employee file, with optional paper backup retained, closing the loop end to end.

The Result

All five outstanding signatures were resolved, including the one blocking an employee termination. Document loss was eliminated entirely, and HR's broader digital transition advanced significantly with the largest paper-based workflow now electronic.

The ROI

Eliminated the compliance and termination risk created by lost paperwork. Reduced an eleven-step manual process to five steps, four of which are now automated. Cleared the path for HR to retire physical file cabinets as digital records replaced paper backup. The full system operates on tools the company already owned.

Custom AI skills for sales, admin, and marketing teams.

Industry: Multi-client AI skill development · Sales, operations, and marketing teams
Custom AI skills built
10+ across multiple clients
Manager call review time
Hours to minutes
Use cases covered
Sales · Admin · Marketing

The Situation

Multiple clients shared the same underlying problem: active ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions, but no clear path from those tools to the administrative and operational tasks consuming their week. They needed purpose-built AI skills for specific repeating workflows, not generic conversational interactions.

The Approach

For each client, we identified the tasks that were genuinely repeatable and prompt-shaped. Cold call scoring, pipeline reignite outreach, prospect research, social media audits, calendar triage. Each was built as a custom skill triggered with a single command, eliminating the need to rewrite prompts every time.

The Solution

For sales teams: call scoring skills that turn manager one-on-ones into specific, evidence-based coaching sessions. Pipeline reignite skills that generate next-best-step outreach for stalled deals. Skills that book meetings, send contracts, generate pitch decks and one-pagers, and produce detailed prospect briefs from public information.

For marketing and competitive research: skills that scrape social platforms for audit data, and skills that pull SEO, GEO, and AEO data to benchmark website performance. For administrative work: inbox and calendar triage skills, plus AI tool stack organization that gets clients' subscriptions producing real output.

The Result

Managers conducting one-on-ones now have call-by-call scoring and feedback in minutes rather than spending an hour reviewing recordings. Sales teams have one-click access to reignite stalled deals. Founders whose AI subscriptions previously went underused now operate with purpose-built skills they actively rely on.

The ROI

Each skill saves several hours per week of manual work, scaling to dozens of hours per month across a typical client's full skill set. More importantly, AI subscriptions that previously went underused now produce measurable, repeatable output.
