After implementing PipelineDeals, lighting systems manufacturer and designer WLS Companies remains poised to double or triple revenue by 2020.

SEATTLE (PRWEB) June 28, 2018 -- PipelineDeals, the most adopted customer relationship management (CRM) software among small and midsize businesses (SMB), was selected by WLS Companies to increase its sales momentum during a phase of rapid business growth.

“PipelineDeals CRM is built around building business relationships. You can see that in it the CRM features and in how PipelineDeals functions as a company. This has helped us immensely.” - Dean Pritchard, CEO at WLS Companies

“This company is more than 40 years old and we think of ourselves as a relationship-based company that was successfully founded on networking and good business,” said Dean Pritchard, CEO at WLS Companies. “PipelineDeals CRM is built around building business relationships. You can see that in it the CRM features and in how PipelineDeals functions as a company. This has helped us immensely.”

WLS Companies implemented PipelineDeals as they took on a growing list of clients for interior, exterior and custom lighting projects. Since implementing PipelineDeals as a scalable, easy-to-use solution with robust reporting features, WLS Companies expanded its team by 30 percent, experienced a 100 percent increase in company efficiency, and remains poised to double or triple revenue by 2020.

Prior to PipelineDeals, WLS Companies said they used Act! CRM which lacked reporting features and functionality they needed to meet their growing needs.

“The ability to quantify and organize the reasons a deal was lost improved our sales training practices and that has led to new solutions for our clients,” said Tammy Bertrand, Senior Vice President of Finance and Operations. “As for adoptability, PipelineDeals is quick and easy to learn plus it is very user friendly which made training an easy process for our entire sales team.”

Another characteristic stood out to WLS Companies about PipelineDeals: a commitment to relationship building.

“PipelineDeals is a great fit for manufacturers and designer companies, like WLS Companies, that need a scalable CRM completely customizable to their business needs," said JP Werlin, CEO and co-founder of PipelineDeals. "With updated customer data available to them at all times, SMBs can successfully foster business relationships and grow their sales pipeline."
