Case studies

CRM Case Studies

How real CRM and lifecycle problems were found, fixed and checked. Each case study follows the work from the first symptom to the validated result.

A workflow screenshot doesn’t tell you much. What matters is why the system was behaving the way it was, what was changed, and how anyone knew the change worked. That’s what these case studies try to show.

How we write them

Every case study follows the same structure, usually told in the order things happened:

Overview

The industry, the size of the team and the systems in use at the start.

What we found

The actual causes once we looked inside the system, which were often different from the first explanation.

Why it mattered

The business consequence: missed follow-up, wasted sends, decisions made on bad numbers.

Architecture

What needed to change in the data, customer states, events and rules before any automation was rebuilt.

Implementation

What was built or changed, and in what order.

Validation

How the work was tested before and after launch, including the records and scenarios we used.

Outcome and technology

The result we could actually observe, and the platforms involved.

We only report outcomes we could measure or observe directly. If a result depended on other factors, such as a pricing change or a new sales hire, we say so rather than claiming it. Client names and details are published only with permission, and some case studies are anonymized for that reason.

Case studies

The first case studies are being written up with client approval.

Each one will be published only once the client has signed off on the details. Until then, the best way to see how we work is a short call, where we can walk through anonymized examples of audits and lifecycle maps.

Looking for something specific?

We title case studies by the problem rather than the platform, because the same failure tends to appear across tools. An unreliable lifecycle stage looks much the same in HubSpot as in Zoho. If you’re after platform detail, the HubSpot and Klaviyo pages describe the typical issues we see there, and our resources go into the mechanics.
