Sales blueprint puts IT Services Co.'s growth back on track

Growth at IT Services Co. was cooling despite the B2B company’s superior technology and customer experience. We helped new ownership craft a sales blueprint that doubled customer conversion rates—which positioned bookings to expand 2X+ in four years. A redesigned go-to-market engine helped the company mobilize its salesforce to attack.

  • Redesign: Bain helped the company redesign the go-to-market model to capture this opportunity—revamping route-to-market mix, hiring plans, territory design, sales plays, rep profiles and training, channel programming and compensation.
