Revenue increased by 10% year-on-year,
despite a smaller sales team

Win rates increased by 50% in the second half of the year

Flume Sales Training The Challenge

“Mention Me faced a clear challenge: pipeline generation was getting harder, and coverage was dropping from 4x to just over 2x. At the same time, win rates across all source channels, including inbound and partner-led deals, were declining. A major factor was simply ill-disciplined sales execution. With a shrinking sales team and ambitious growth targets, we needed to optimise the sales process and significantly improve conversion rates.”

Flume Sales Training The Impact

“The first step was analysing the sales cycle. Once we had the data, we could see where we were losing sales momentum, and which AEs were over or under-performing. That showed us where we had skill gaps or best practice challenges. We needed expert training. We were already hands-on with coaching, call reviews, and retros, but sometimes sales teams listen better to external experts. Flume came highly recommended, and after our first conversation, it was clear they understood every part of the sales cycle.

Flume had solutions designed to drive win rate – not just coaching, but reinforcement and coaching, driving habit-by -habit. They worked with us to identify the root causes of the dropping win-rates and tailored a solution focused on dramatically increasing that KPI. The content and frameworks were best in class. Delivery was a mix of in-person and remote sessions, with high-quality materials, app-based reinforcement, and direct access to Flume’s sales performance coaches.

Our Flume Sales Performance coach was exceptional. He had real credibility… and he knew exactly what we were facing. The blend of classroom learning and real-world application was brilliant.”

Flume Sales Training The Result

“We now see best practice from Flume embedded in our sales cycle. Our AEs are actively using the negotiation frameworks and other materials in their day-to-day work.

The results were transformational:

  • Win rates increased by 50% in the second half of the year
  • 70% of total revenue was generated in H2, directly linked to higher conversion rates
  • Revenue increased by 10% year-on-year, despite a smaller sales team
  • Sales efficiency dramatically improved, reducing customer acquisition costs

Why was Flume different?

“If you’re looking for a sales training provider, ask yourself: are they selling you a package, or are they solving a problem? Flume was completely focused on our business, our challenges, and what success looked like for us. That made all the difference.”
