In 2015 they cemented their position within the industry as the foremost reliability solutions provider with the highest number of Certified Reliability Leaders in the United States. This Salesforce case study is about the company's implementation of its CRM platform.

Solid relationships are founded on collaboration and communication

Our relationship with LUDECA is symbolic of the partnerships we seek to create. We have complete open communication built on a desire to understand and implement best in class sales and marketing strategies that support the company's sales and service objectives.

LUDECA has been successful for decades and we understood from the beginning of the engagement that our goal was to add to that success. LUDECA’s sales force of corporate sales and marketing staff, as well as national sales representatives, had built up a strong framework of national, well-known clients mixed with strong regional customers.

Initially, we were contracted to solely implement Salesforce. As we gained insight into the organization's growth and efficiency goals, we were able to identify additional opportunities to improve inbound marketing, lead qualification and quoting. The latter being one of the biggest challenges due to the vast array of product configurations and accessories that Ludeca provides.

We had to think it through...carefully.

Faster quotes lead to happier customers

Although LUDECA has a long history of sales success, we discovered during our discovery workshops that the internal dynamics of the sales process and lead generation was not in line with their expectations and objectives of their customer journey. Client satisfaction is one of LUDECA’s most important goals; however, the process of purchasing equipment is complex and their selling process was not paying off on that goal.

AXXIS first worked to re-engineer the sales quote assembler which reduced proposal prep time significantly. To create a greater opportunity to nurture leads (warm, cold and dormant) AXXIS implemented an email marketing program that not only kept communication fluid but also supplied customers with important information both from a product as well as an educational standpoint. At the end of the engagement, the Salesforce implementation was infinitely more successful, profitable and well adopted because the data, database structure, and sales/marketing processes were rebuilt to be as efficient and deliberate as possible.
