Previous Case StudyNext Case Study

Learning Pathways is a young California-based software company. Their Maintenance Tracker solution - based on FileMaker Pro - allows managers and workers to automate, track and report on maintenance operations at schools. LPI targets the lower, middle and higher education markets.

" We're very
excited about the progress we've made with sales,
and our
fresh momentum
moving into the
new fiscal year. "


Background

Despite years invested in a topnotch solution, and several successful deployments, LPI's growth remained hampered by weak sales. Prospects were clearly excited about the product; yet closing sales was a huge challenge.

Embroiled in budget cuts and thick bureaucracy, the education market was proving tough to penetrate.

Concerned investors like The Amberton Group sought to stimulate sales and create market traction.

The Optimal Difference


Putting a structured sales process in place was a key success factor. As interim COO, we assembled a small direct sales team, training them on consultative sales techniques.

After 6 months, LPI has increased its install base 200 percent. Rebranding is underway, with new collateral and tradeshow materials. A co-marketing strategy with FileMaker is in discussions.

With renewed energy and momentum, LPI is primed to expand its sales force for even greater growth.
