The partnership: Insight Sales & Boleto Simples

When talking to Rafael Lima, the CEO of Boleto Simples, we came to the conclusion that, in partnership with Insight Sales, it would be possible to accelerate the evolution of its sales processes, ensuring more scalable and predictable results, and guaranteeing the modernization of the data area in the company's sales department.

Together, we achieved a 21.43% increase in opportunities and a 27.27% increase in sales in just 4 months of strategy! Compared to the same period last year, sales increased by 30%!

We know that establishing a routine that optimizes sales operations and consequently boosts revenue is not a simple task.

So, to understand how we generate these results, follow the Boleto Simples case study and learn how to also leverage your performance with the help of Insight Sales!

The challenges

We started the diagnosis by deeply understanding Boleto Simples's scenario and sales objectives. With this initial analysis, we determined and listed the challenges we would work on from a given timeline:

➔ Challenge 1: Implementation of the sales ops area in the sales sector

➔ Challenge 2: Evolution of the Sales Funnel with a focus on team restructuring

➔ Challenge 3: Organization and training of the team for new routines

➔ Challenge 4: More constant and predictable revenue generation

➔ Challenge 5: Scaling and growing results

See below how it was possible to organize the routines to achieve these goals!

The solutions

One of the biggest challenges for Boleto Simples was to ensure a more scalable sales process with greater revenue predictability, and, with that, sell more of the solution without requiring a large increase in staff or making large investments in resources.

We initially determined that the work model required automating tasks that would be difficult to achieve manually. With that in mind, we took the following actions in terms of sales tools:

• Also in 2020 (when Boleto Simples became a user of the Insight Sales platform), we implemented a CRM to record and move leads.
• We integrate the CRM with the Insight Sales platform to better visualize process bottlenecks and, in turn, provide data-driven insights for decision-making.
• In 2021, we adopted a Sales Engagement tool to optimize the sales team's lead qualification process.

To build a structured sales organization that would produce consistent results, the organization prioritized data analysis through the Insight Sales platform.

From there, it was possible to understand the Boleto Simples sales cycle and visualize where the team was most bottlenecked, acting on this pain point to ensure the Sales Funnel flowed more quickly.

There was also training for the team, who used to follow up on leads through various channels (Email, Intercom, and WhatsApp) and manually seek information, and now had more dynamic, technological processes to help optimize daily work.

We know that most companies believe that to evolve in negotiations, they need to hire more salespeople. However, this concept does not hold true. Even if the number of sellers increases, this will not necessarily solve the problem of impending conversions. It needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

In the case of Boleto Simples, hiring just one SDR proved necessary so the Sales Executive could focus their efforts (qualification and closing) only at the end of the Sales Funnel.

Often, improving a business does not mean investing in a larger space or in new products, but rather empowering your employees. Having an exemplary sales timing that works in a coordinated way, with each member assigned a fixed, essential task, can help your company achieve the set goals.

That said, negotiation and closing training - including role playing with a focus on the buyer persona- was performed with the Sales Executive. Coaching actions with the team were also adopted to ensure motivation during and after the changes implemented, as well as to integrate the sales team with the rest of the company.

With these steps taken, we were able to advance more deals in the pipeline, thus increasing the total conversion rate, without adding a significant number to the company's headcount.

As we have seen, data is vital to achieving predictability in sales. The right data can help salespeople more clearly understand what needs to be done to close a deal—a process called sales enablement. The result was more predictable revenue generation and more scalable results, ensuring real-time KPI reporting to the heads of the company and greater reliability in the search for these numbers.

Next steps

With the implementation of the new sales playbook complete and all steps of the new commercial process set, we continue to monitor the team's evolution and sales results, ensuring the sector's ramp-up continues in a healthy, scalable way.
