Hi Sarah,
Saw that you just brought on 6 new SDRs last month, that kind of growth usually means your pipeline is about to get a lot messier to manage. The reason I'm reaching out is that most sales managers at your stage are still forecasting manually, pulling numbers from Salesforce into a spreadsheet every week and trying to make sense of it before the Monday call.
We built a tool that sits on top of your existing CRM and gives you an accurate forecast in real time which deals are actually going to close, which ones are stalling, and where your team needs to be pushing. No more Sunday night spreadsheet updates.
Teams we work with cut their forecast prep time from a few hours a week to about ten minutes, and their accuracy went from around 60% to consistently above 85%. Happy to walk you through it if you have 15 minutes this week.
Worth a quick call?
Is there any signal that forecasting accuracy is actually a pain point for her right now, or are you assuming based on the team size?
It's an assumption, I don't have anything specific, just know that at 15 people it's usually still manual.
Is Sarah the one who would actually feel the forecasting pain day to day, or is she more likely to care about it from a reporting-up perspective, like she's the one presenting numbers to a board or a VP?
