Case Studies

Keith Gardner is the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for a review company that helps nursing students pass the National Council Licensure Examination [for] Registered Nurses (NCLEX). Using a legacy CRM solution for 10 years, the company’s CRM had become too complex for its sales team, leading to the failure to adopt the system. Instead, they relied more on the marketing team for many activities that could be handed by the CRM. Other limitations were a lack of interface with the website and difficult reporting.

After convincing the C-suite, Gardner and the team switched to Insightly CRM. With the help of Insightly’s professional services, the team transformed the company’s user data into actionable insights, resulting in improved velocity, conversion, and reporting. Now, Gardner can easily provide sales metrics and other data available from dashboards, making reporting seamless.
