Salesforce Optimization for Woodstream Corporation

by | Dec 1, 2021

Woodstream Corporation (Woodstream) is a long-standing privately-held company and a global manufacturer of quality branded rodent control products, caring control products for pets and wildlife, natural solutions for home and garden, wild bird feeding products, and garden decor to consumers and the professional pest control market.

Challenge

Woodstream had a customer portal integrated with Salesforce for collecting leads and prospective customer information. However, the client wasn’t using all of the functionality available in Salesforce for managing the sales cycle and missing the opportunity to understand customers better. The sales team relied instead on using Excel spreadsheets which were not only disconnected from their customer data but were prone to errors and required manual data entry.

Solution

Speridian initially was asked to create dashboards to enable Woodstream to view their sales funnel, but it was clear there were many features of Salesforce the client wasn’t using to optimize their sales operations. After working with Woodstream to understand their sales process and how they managed leads and customer relationships, Speridian identified gaps that could be rectified with the functionality available in Salesforce.

  • Dashboarding and data visualization to view and analyze the sales funnel and related KPI’s
