Situation
Flex, a Series A FinTech startup backed by $120 million in equity and debt, was positioned to revolutionize financial services with its finance super-app, credit, and banking solution for business owners. Operating in a competitive market, Flex relied on an account-based go-to-market (GTM) strategy powered by outbound sales motions and event-driven marketing. However, inefficiencies in their revenue operations (RevOps) ecosystem created significant roadblocks.
With a lean team, Flex needed to optimize every aspect of their GTM execution—spanning customer acquisition, onboarding, and revenue retention—to maintain their hyper-growth trajectory.
Struggle
Flex faced RevOps challenges that limited their ability to scale efficiently:
A fragmented approach to sales, marketing, and customer success alignment, impacting pipeline management and visibility.
Ineffective CRM workflows and misaligned data governance that hindered their account-based marketing (ABM) efforts.
A failed in-house RevOps hire, leaving gaps in strategic oversight for their GTM operations.
Complex operational demands, including first-party data integration, regulatory compliance, and multi-team handoffs for customer onboarding.
Inefficient tracking of sales targets, commissions, and event ROI, leading to inconsistencies in decision-making and execution.
Flex needed a RevOps partner with a proven process to streamline their GTM framework & maximize revenue outcomes.
