CASE STUDY
Improving Texino's sales performance through revenue operations
Background
Texino, a luxury recreational vehicle (RV) manufacturer, faced significant challenges in their sales process, resulting in lost opportunities, extended sales cycles, a low opportunity-to-customer close rate, and inadequate lead nurturing. This case study explores how our team collaborated with Texino to identify and address these bottlenecks, optimize their sales process, and customize their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Additionally, we provided comprehensive training and support to successfully adopt the improved process and tools. The results achieved within six months demonstrate the positive impact of our intervention on Texino's sales performance.
Challenges
- Inconsistent sales process: The Texino sales team lacked a standardized and efficient sales process, leading to inconsistencies in their approach and outcomes.
- Lack of pipeline organization: The absence of a well-structured pipeline management system resulted in missed opportunities and difficulties in prioritizing leads effectively.
- Lengthy sales cycles: Texino experienced extended sales cycles, averaging six months, causing delays and reduced revenue generation.
- Low opportunity-to-customer close rate: The opportunity-to-customer close rate was a mere 8%, indicating a suboptimal conversion rate and missed potential.
- Poor lead nurturing: The sales team struggled with nurturing leads effectively, leading to a loss of potential customers and revenue.
Approach
- Identifying bottlenecks: Our team closely collaborated with the Texino sales team, conducting comprehensive assessments to identify key bottlenecks in their sales process and CRM utilization.

- Optimizing the sales process: Leveraging our expertise, we redesigned and streamlined Texino's sales process, focusing on standardizing steps, defining clear milestones, and implementing best practices for lead management and qualification.
- Customizing the CRM: To enhance CRM utilization, we tailored the system to match the specific needs of each salesperson, incorporating features such as automated workflows, personalized dashboards, and comprehensive reporting capabilities.
- Training and support: We provided extensive training and ongoing support to the Texino sales team, ensuring a smooth transition to the optimized sales process and customized CRM. This included training sessions, workshops, and individual coaching to address any concerns or difficulties.
