Background

Our client, a US-based provider of fundraising tools for nonprofit organizations (NPOs), sought to enhance their sales process to better support their mission-driven customers. A seamless and efficient sales process is crucial for maximizing team productivity and achieving revenue goals. Recognizing the need to enhance its outreach and scheduling capabilities, our client sought a solution to integrate advanced tools into their existing Salesforce ecosystem. The primary objectives were to optimize outbound calling, simplify demo scheduling, and improve sales performance tracking.

Challenges

• Inefficiency in managing outbound calls and demo scheduling.
• Lack of centralized data tracking for calls and demos within Salesforce.
• Limited visibility into outreach performance and demo scheduling effectiveness.

Solution Implementation

To address these challenges, we implemented Aircall and Calendly within the Salesforce environment:

• Aircall Integration:
  • Enabled seamless outbound dialing for the sales team directly from Salesforce.
  • Automated data capture, ensuring all call activities were logged in the relevant Salesforce objects.
• Calendly Integration:
  • Simplified the scheduling of demos with prospects.
  • Automated updates of demo schedules in Salesforce to maintain a single source of truth.
• Demo Tracking Feature:
  • Designed and implemented a unique demo tracking system to enhance visibility.
  • Assigned unique colors to each demo and sales rep based on their activities, enabling better differentiation and quick identification. This also allowed managers to track which sales reps made the dials and ran demos, providing a basis for performance-based incentives.
  • Configured dashboards and reports utilizing these color-coded demos for real-time performance tracking and outreach effectiveness analysis.

Results

• Improved Efficiency: The sales team could perform outbound dialing and schedule demos without leaving Salesforce, reducing task-switching and saving time.
• Enhanced Visibility: With automated data logging and color-coded demo tracking, managers could effectively monitor sales team performance and outreach efforts.
• Actionable Insights: Dashboards and reports provided clear metrics on call activities and demo scheduling, empowering data-driven decision-making.
