HEBS Digital

Hospitality Technology Consulting

HEBS had bought Salesforce. What it needed was a sales operating system. Meridien built one — proposal automation, pipeline visibility, and dashboards leadership actually used.

The Situation

A modern CRM, an old workflow.

Salesforce was in place, but the sales process still ran on memory and manual work. Proposals took hours. Leadership had activity reports but no pipeline clarity. Deals stalled between stages with no one accountable for the next step.

The question
How do you turn a CRM investment into a sales operating system the team actually runs on?
The Work

Four moves that reshaped how the team sold.

01

Salesforce Redesigned Around the Sales Process

Rebuilt account and opportunity structures so the CRM captured what the team and leadership actually needed — stages that matched real deal motion, fields that reflected buyer context, and workflow rules that removed silent drop-off.

02

Product & Price Book Setup

Configured product catalogs and pricing so quotes and proposals could be generated from opportunity data instead of manually assembled per deal.

03

Proposal Automation

Technical proposals that had taken hours to build were moved into a Salesforce-connected generation flow. Sellers filled a form; the proposal came out branded, priced, and ready to send.

04

Leadership Dashboards

Installed pipeline, revenue, high-value opportunity, and individual performance dashboards. Leadership stopped asking for reports and started reading them.

The Outcome

Cleaner pipeline. Faster proposals. Real visibility.

01

Hours To Minutes

Proposal creation compressed from several hours of manual work to a repeatable minutes-long workflow.

02

Pipeline Leadership Trusted

Dashboards became the source of truth for pipeline reviews, forecast conversations, and account prioritization.

03

Sales Operations, Not Sales Admin

The team stopped maintaining the CRM around the sales process and started running the sales process through the CRM.

View Methodology

How Meridien approaches every engagement.

Every case study follows the same operating pattern. The specifics change; the discipline does not.

I

Read the market feedback the company already owns.

Objections, stalled deals, CRM notes, call outcomes — the cheapest research on the shelf. It gets read first.

II

Test the four calls.

Is the list built for fit or volume? Who actually owns the problem? What is the market saying back? Where is the process leaking?

III

Tighten one loop at a time.

Targeting, message, CRM, or handoff — whichever is bleeding the most opportunity. Sharpen it. Move to the next.

IV

Leave the team running the system.

Meridien is a sharpener, not a dependency. Engagements end with the team operating the improved workflow themselves.
