CRM & Sales Growth
Sales Workflow Design
Sales workflow design is the work of defining exactly how a lead moves from first contact through to a closed deal - which tool owns each stage, what triggers a handoff between prospecting and follow-up, and what data has to travel with the lead at each step. Most businesses we work with already own the individual pieces - Apollo for outbound, HubSpot for the pipeline, an inbox for follow-up - but nobody has actually designed how those pieces connect, so leads stall in the gaps between tools rather than because any one tool failed.
Suitable for businesses that have already implemented Apollo, HubSpot, or a similar CRM individually but still rely on someone manually checking each system and re-entering data between them, and for founder-led sales teams scaling to a multi-person team where an informal, undocumented process no longer holds up once more than one person is running it.
- A documented, repeatable path from first contact to closed deal instead of an informal process that lives in one person's head
- Defined handoff rules between prospecting, qualification, and account management so leads don't stall waiting for someone to notice them
- Automated data flow between Apollo, the CRM, and follow-up sequencing instead of manual re-entry at each stage
- Pipeline stages and reporting fields that reflect how your team actually sells, not a generic CRM default
