Company’s Challenge

  • Sales performance was low, and a largely inexperienced sales team was expected to drive revenue growth. They did not have a Sales Ops or Marketing Ops resource capable of supporting the sales and marketing teams with actionable data, nor implementing strategic initiatives to drive towards actionable outcomes.
  • Acquisitions were also not fully integrated, and new offerings were not being cross-sold across the existing customer base.
  • The company faced challenges driven by market drag that would result in unpredictable revenue attrition, in addition to customer churn.

Cortado Group Results

  • Improved revenue attrition by 4% from prior year.
  • Converted legacy pricing model to an ARR model, with 87% of revenue being recurring across all product lines. Integrated and converted acquired product lines into a full suite solution.
  • Compensation planning was adjusted to incentivize multi-year deals, reducing future churn risk. At-Risk revenue was minimized by 17% from Year 1 to Year 2.
  • Up-Sells to existing customers increased by 3% overall, by 11% to top 50 accounts (>$95K per annum)
  • New Customer sales increased by 4% YoY.
