Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Traction?

They helped us upgrade the process behind the scenes and the ERP method to help us lessen that cost.
Then, they worked with our sales and marketing team to mark what our process is like, along with our stages. They helped with the training and consulting side of what we need from a sales process. They also re-did that process with our Salesforce and mannerized it.
