Freight CRM
In 2017, Bob Curry started the freight broker, FreightAutomated.com, with a rate tool that he built. FreightAutomated grew, went public and Bob retired in 2021.
In 2022, sales were flat despite records set by Rick, the new sales rep.
To boost sales, the Board hired Mike "Top Dog" Smith. Mike was a legend in the furniture industry (and his own mind). Mike felt he was fit for the job since he had paid to have freight hauled for years. Mike had a team build a website, ads and social media pages to drive inbound leads to sales. Mike bought a CRM, made the sales team add their leads and had the CRM send weekly emails. Mike’s job was to boost sales and he thought the sales plan he used in the furniture world would apply to freight.
Mike was wrong. The leads were trash, the emails upset the contacts and the CRM updates cut into sales hours. Mike had jammed his plan down the sales team’s throat and morale fell to an all-time low.
Despite Rick’s angst about the wrong CRM and sales plan, he dug in. To maximize his sales hours, Rick did his CRM updates at night.
Rick’s #1 sales award made him feel good about his extra efforts and he was happy to earn the sales manager title. Rick knew that the old CRM and sales plan were a bad fit, yet he caved in to office politics and didn’t share his view with Mike.
With the wrong CRM and sales plan, sales continued to fall. The Board grilled Mike, who deflected blame on Rick. Costs were cut, top sales reps left, Rick was let go, and the company closed its doors in 2024.
