Background
Appsketiers is a B2B Custom Mobile and Web App Development company based in Georgia, United States. Founded in 2016, they're a dynamic team who handles every stage of the process from idea to launch!

Problem
Appsketiers faced several critical challenges that were interfering with their sales effectiveness:


-
Their primary obstacle was the lack of visibility into their unique, two-phase sales process. They had an "ignition pipeline" with distinct phases but couldn't track how many prospects moved from the first phase to the second phase of the sales process. This made it impossible to create HubSpot funnel reports or identify where prospects were getting stuck in their pipeline.
-
Management couldn't see sales performance reports. They needed to understand metrics by quarter and by contact owner, but HubSpot's standard reports couldn't show these specific insights due to their custom pipeline structure.

Solution
OTF developed a three-part reporting solution designed to give the Client complete visibility into their ignition pipeline performance, with the flexibility to analyze data from multiple angles.


Part 1: Total Pipeline Movement Report
- Built a custom report tracking unique deals transitioning from phase 1 to phase 2.
- Highlighted specific movement into the "promise hot" stage where qualified opportunities begin.
- Created visual dashboards showing conversion percentages and deal flow.
Part 2: Time-Based Performance Analysis
- Developed quarterly reporting capabilities to track seasonal trends.
- Added monthly and weekly breakdowns for shorter-term optimization.
- Built historical comparison tools to measure improvement over time.




Part 3: Sales Rep Performance Tracking
- Created individual contact owner reports showing conversion rates by sales representative.
- Built leaderboards and performance benchmarks.
- Added deal velocity measurements to identify top performers.
