The challenge
Promoting growth without the right infrastructure
No centralized CRM foundation
BESTMIX struggled with fragmented customer data in multiple disjointed systems. Without a unified database, sales managers were spending valuable time searching for customer information instead of reaching out to prospects and closing deals.
Inconsistent management of the sales process
Since there were no standardized sales processes, each manager worked differently. With business cycles lasting up to a year, this inconsistency made it impossible for leadership to track progress or identify bottlenecks across the organization.
Workflow for delayed lead assignment
New leads were taking up to a week to reach the relevant sales manager. This significant delay meant that potential customers had to wait, reducing conversion opportunities and causing frustration for both potential customers and internal teams.
The aim is to transform sales
BESTMIX needed more than just another CRM platform, but a comprehensive sales ecosystem that could
- Establish unified customer data management across all touchpoints
- Create standardized sales processes for consistent team performance
- Instantly assign leads based on territory and region
- Complete visibility of customer interactions and history
- Enable efficient pipeline management and forecasting capabilities

Comprehensive data migration and redesign of sales processes
1. data management and migration strategy
We started with a comprehensive data governance exercise to establish best practices for handling commercial data. BESTMIX's multi-year database contained numerous duplicates and inconsistencies that needed to be systematically cleansed. We implemented the ETL process where BESTMIX handled the extraction, we worked on the transformation to map the fields correctly in HubSpot and we managed the entire data loading process into the new system.
2. standardization of the sales process and pipeline design
We worked closely with the BESTMIX team to define standardized deal stages to be used consistently by all sales managers. Considering the one-year deal cycles, this standardization was crucial to keep track of the pipeline and ensure proper follow-up throughout the sales process. We designed customized sales pipelines that reflected the unique business model and industry requirements.
3. automated lead assignment and workflow creation
We implemented automated lead assignment based on country and region, eliminating the previous weeks-long delay. The system now instantly routes new leads to the appropriate sales manager, allowing for immediate follow-up. We also created automated workflows, including email templates for different scenarios, standardized meeting reports and the creation of tasks triggered by specific actions.
4. 360° customer view and system integration
Since BESTMIX's marketing team was already using HubSpot for email campaigns, integrating the sales team into the platform created powerful cross-departmental visibility. Sales managers can now see all marketing content that prospects have consumed and track website visits, while marketing gains access to sales data to run more targeted campaigns. As an interim solution, we also integrated the Freshdesk ticketing system with HubSpot, fulfilling one of the company's biggest requests for instant access to customer support history over the past few months.
5. sales automation and efficiency tools
We implemented extensive automation, including email templates for various scenarios (follow-ups after a call, scheduling meetings, quote follow-ups), standardized report templates for documenting meetings, and automatic creation of tasks triggered by sending emails and other activities to streamline daily operations.
Most important results
BESTMIX's sales department transformed from a fragmented, slow-response operation focused primarily on upselling existing customers to a streamlined, data-driven organization ready to aggressively pursue new prospects. The standardized processes, immediate responsiveness to inquiries and complete customer visibility allowed the company to shift its strategic focus to acquiring new customers in global markets while efficiently maintaining existing customer relationships.

What success looks like
Streamlined standardization of the sales process
Before: Each sales manager worked with different processes and did not have a consistent approach to managing deals across the year-long sales cycles.
After: All sales managers now follow standardized deal stages and workflows that provide a clear overview and consistent follow-up throughout the extended sales process.
Complete improvement of customer visibility
Before: Sales managers didn't have access to customer support tickets and marketing interactions, so they were having conversations without full context about prospect engagement or support history.
After: With the Freshdesk integration, sales teams now have a 360° customer view, including marketing content usage, website visits and support ticket history, enabling them to have contextual conversations and build strategic relationships.
Accelerated lead assignment and follow-up
Before: New leads took up to a week to reach the appropriate sales manager, resulting in delays and missed opportunities.
After: Leads are now immediately assigned to the appropriate sales managers based on country and region, allowing for immediate follow up and improved conversion rates.
Improved data management and pipeline management
Before: BESTMIX lacked a clear view of the sales pipeline due to fragmented systems and inconsistent processes, making it impossible for management to effectively track year-long deal cycles.
After: A clean, organized database with automatic duplicate detection, comprehensive pipeline reporting, and sales automation tools give management visibility and the team efficiency while supporting a strategic shift to prospecting.
Improved customer service capabilities
Before: The service teams lacked comprehensive machine information to respond to customer needs.
After: Complete device portfolios that the service teams can access enable personalized support and proactive maintenance recommendations.
Cross-departmental alignment and future scalability
Before: Sales and marketing worked in silos and had no shared insight into customer interactions or the effectiveness of campaigns across their global offices.
After: A unified platform enables marketing to use sales data for targeted campaigns, while sales accesses the history of marketing interactions. The plan is to roll out the platform globally and further optimize processes to accelerate sales.
