Sales Forecasting & CRM Redesign

Client: TeraGo

Industry: Telecom & IT Services

Scope: B2B provider of AWS cloud, connectivity, and data center solutions across Canada
(Annual revenue: $65M | 200 staff | 2 active facilities)

Role: Director, Strategic Initiatives

Period: 06/2016 – 04/2019

Challenge:

TeraGo’s sales teams relied on outdated tools — an old version of Microsoft Dynamics, manual Excel-based forecasts, and no lead management system. Forecasts were slow, inaccurate, and difficult to trust. Sales processes lacked structure, customer data was unreliable, and reporting was time-consuming and inconsistent.

What I led:

As Director of Strategic Initiatives, I led the company-wide Salesforce CRM transformation. I oversaw platform selection, managed implementation across departments, and redesigned the entire lead-to-order process — all while aligning stakeholders from Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Finance.

What I delivered:

  • Selected Salesforce Cloud + Pardot based on executive and departmental requirements

  • Piloted and delivered a $500K CRM implementation across 100+ users

  • Redesigned sales process from lead intake to order fulfillment

  • Built forecasting, pipeline, and performance dashboards for teams and executives

  • Implemented a JIRA-based support workflow for continuous CRM improvements and user requests

  • Established ongoing data management protocols to support better customer insights


Business Results:

3× increase in lead conversion

Forecast accuracy improved from 50% to 85%

Leads processed within 5 minutes via automated routing

Stronger pipeline visibility and better sales management

Higher employee morale through better tools and support
