Initial Challenges:

Underperforming tele-sales operation significantly impacting business results, particularly given a complete change in lead sources from a marketing shift of focus into digital advertising and more proactive outreach
Sales leadership could not take effective action due to lack of accurate data or timely, actionable insights
