• Get Higher ROI from SFDC Builds, Rollouts & Ops

    CRM investments underperforming? Let's raise the bar:

    • Boost Adoption & Utilization
    • Elevate Pipeline Accuracy & Velocity
    • Raise Quota Attainment
    • Increase Customer & Rep Retention

    Dear CRO / Sales VP,

    You invested in Salesforce to scale revenue.

    The Problem: Systems and processes only pay off if people use them well. CRM failure is not a tech problem—it’s a human behavior problem. Cracking down isn't sustainable or effective.

    The Solution: We systematically elevate your sales talent, activate and pull-through your critical action priorities, and turn low adoption into measurable ROI. Managers and teams love it (their word).

    Intrigued? See SERVICES below and CONTACT US. We'll gladly do a quick show and tell.

    XO,

    SERVICE BUNDLE

    INVESTMENT

    Payback Example: Selling Time

    Without proper adoption, AEs lose 2.5 hours every week in manual data entry, fixing errors, or duplicating work.

    The Math: Across 10 AEs, that is 25 hours a week of wasted selling time.

    The Payback: With Reinforcement, proper SFDC usage patterns (e.g., opportunity hygiene) reclaim that time. Over a 48-week working year, this yields 1,200 hours of pure selling time back to the team—the equivalent of adding more than half of a full-time AE to the roster. It pays for itself quickly.

    Upside Potential: Instead of burning cash (and hopes) in idle "shelfware," lost selling time, and wasted action every month, managers reinforce what works better and find out how high the ROI on your SFDC can be!

    INVESTMENT

    $750/Mgr - Cohort Sessions

    Payback Example: Retention

    Without high-level coaching, a new Rep fails to make quota, struggles to apply feedback, and is destined for dismissal.

    The Math: 1 Rep loss costs ~1.5x salary, saps focus, and drags pipeline velocity.

    The Payback: With a Coaching Culture,

    effective Rep performance (e.g., quota attainment) converts a loss into a gain.

    That quarter, it avoids costs from lost producivity, recruitment, onboarding, and ramp-up time equaling $180,000. That budget is now available for new hires, enablement, and bonuses.

    Upside Potential: Instead of damaging the culture of safety, trust, and career development teams prize, managers shift from doers and micromanagers to great coaches that bring out the best in their teams.

    Ws

  • Approach & Philosophy

    Whatever we put attention to together, these themes will guide how we do so.

    Servant-Leader Mindset

    Like a tree trunk, leaders are the central support for branches of an organization. Resources move upwardly, including attention. We use this mindset to raise the quality of leadership at all levels.

    Right-Brain Values Lead

    Humans have a split brain, each half offering starkly different values and capabilities. This trait allows us to choose which value set has final authority. We elevate the wiser, socially attuned, reality-based half to preeminence.

    Positive & Social Psychology

    Noticing how people naturally function well is a resourceful and respectful way to raise creativity and productivity. We invest in talents and pro-social practices, build them into strengths, and use them to flourish.

    Individualized Engagement

    Nothing engages and brings peace of mind like being seen, understood, and valued for our unique qualities and contributions. We uphold individuality as a reliable basis for excellence, teamwork and innovation.

    Renaissance Spirit

    Leadership, team building, and innovation are complex and nuanced. To do them well is a blend of Science, Art, and Philosophy. We use this rich mash-up to inspire new views, creative collaboration, and growth.

    Joie de vivre & Tempo Giusto

    Zest for life is a potent source of intrinsic motivation for action. The "right tempo" for action is superior to bulldozing at top speed by default. We use both in dynamic tension as a useful governor of our energy.

    Talk to 300 changemakers:

    "...we were transformed. It was one of the most moving, affirming, and inspiring talks I’ve ever witnessed – precisely the message of hope and agency everyone needed in a world so often overshadowed by crisis. If I were leading any company or conference and needed to truly motivate a team... Frankie Ridolfi would be my first call."
