One source of truth.

From a five-layer WhatsApp chain to one shared truth.

Built the sales team’s shared brain.

₹1Cr/month in leads, finally traceable.

The problem

₹1 crore a month in leads,
and no one could trace where they went.

Sales representatives, managers, and leadership were each working off a different fragment — a notebook, an Excel sheet, a WhatsApp thread. There was no shared system, and no way to trace a lead’s actual history.

Every night, that gap traveled by relay instead — sales representative to city WhatsApp group, to regional head, to one message thread addressed to head office, manually, before a single number reached the CEO.

As lead designer, I was responsible for understanding why, and redesigning the system from the ground up — covering the live-call experience, incentive visibility, and lead lifecycle tracking.

Approach

One system. Three teams who couldn’t afford to be wrong.

Stakeholders

Whether the business itself was on track — leads, conversions, revenue, at a glance.

Sales team

Getting the numbers that mattered with far less manual effort, so performing well didn’t also mean doing extra paperwork.

Marketing

Whether a crore a month in spend was reaching people who’d actually convert.

Three teams needed different answers from the exact same data, and the business paid for it either way.

Chapter 1

One lead. One number. One history.

Every call used to start over — same number, different sales representative, no memory of what came before.

We fixed that at the root: leads were matched to their real number every time, and their full history moved with them, no matter how many calls it took to close.

That one change did two things. Management could finally split incentives based on who actually did the work. And managers got a complete trail — every call, every message — to coach, audit, and set targets on evidence, not guesswork.

Chapter 2

Just a script? Just a call? No — somebody’s career.

Every sales representative followed the same pitch — same program, same eligibility explanation, same next-best option if someone didn’t qualify.

But ₹90k was never just a fee. It was a career decision — quitting a job, taking a loan, betting that this would work out. The sales representative’s job wasn’t to sell. It was to guide that decision honestly.

And across multiple calls, that guidance ran on one thing: memory. Hundreds of calls a day, per sales representative, with nothing but recall holding the thread together.

How we solved it
{{ c2Note }}

What sales representatives said: it’s fine.

What they felt: friction, every single day.

What they did: worked around it quietly, in Excel.

Also

The desk wasn’t required either.

Sales representatives weren’t always sitting at a laptop — moving between calls, sometimes between cities. The same lead record, the same follow-ups, right there on a phone.

Impact

What changed after launch.

Sales didn’t need a prettier CRM. They needed one lead, one truth, and three honest views of it.
