Pipeline and Process in a Mid-Stage SaaS Org
🏷 Industry: SaaS / B2B Technology
🏷 Use Case: Pipeline Generation & Sales Enablement

Success Story: Building Pipeline and Process in a Mid-Stage SaaS Org
A mid-stage SaaS company offering WFM and CCaaS solutions turned to DDI after pipeline coverage dropped 40% below target. The sales team lacked structure, outbound efforts were fragmented, and SDRs were producing few qualified meetings.

The Challenge
Pipeline Coverage
40% below target, creating revenue risk

Sales Execution Gaps
Reactive reps, low SDR output, no outbound leadership

No Structured Messaging
Missing ICP clarity, cadences, and enablement tools

The Solution
DDI served as a fractional GTM leader, owning both strategy and execution:

Refined ICPs and built persona-based messaging tracks

Launched multi-channel outbound campaigns

Created full enablement toolkit and dashboards

Led weekly GTM alignment across Sales and Marketing

The Results
$2.4M in Qualified Pipeline
Generated in just 90 days

22 Discovery Meetings
With Director+ decision-makers

3 Late-Stage Deals
Advanced to proposal/demo stage

Long-Term Strategic Impact
The engagement delivered more than pipeline. It gave the client a repeatable, scalable sales motion. DDI’s frameworks became part of the company’s onboarding and training process, enabling faster ramp time, stronger messaging alignment, and lasting top-of-funnel velocity.

🏷 Industry: Contact Center Operations
🏷 Use Case: Technology Evaluation & Procurement Optimization

Success Story: Accelerating Tech Evaluation to Cut Costs and Improve Onboarding
A national enterprise contact center team partnered with DDI to modernize its Workforce Management (WFM) and AI capabilities. Despite strong internal technical resources, the client faced long evaluation timelines and poor cross-functional alignment — especially between IT and Operations.

The Challenge

IT-Led Procurement

Facilitated cross-functional alignment between IT and Ops

Defined business and technical requirements upfront

Authored RFPs and conducted side-by-side vendor assessments

Introduced a milestone-driven decision framework to ensure clarity and progress

The Results
30% Reduction in Evaluation Time
Shorter path to implementation and faster client onboarding

12% Technology Cost Savings
Achieved while maintaining solution capabilities

Improved Experience Metrics
Higher NPS and employee satisfaction due to smoother transitions

Long-Term Strategic Impact
The engagement created a replicable evaluation model the organization now uses across all tech initiatives — reducing internal friction, increasing transparency, and aligning decisions with business value. By eliminating confusion and building a scalable framework, DDI helped the client future-proof its procurement strategy while building internal trust between departments.
