In 2017, Big Nerd Ranch (BNR), had seen 2 ½ years of declining revenue. They went from a darling of the industry being trusted by the largest companies in the world to seeing corporate relationships dissolve, and the sales of the flagship service decline to almost zero.

BNR engaged Ken Lundin & Associates (KLA) to right the ship and do it quickly.

Using The Revenue Acceleration Program KLA analyzed where the most immediate lift in revenue could be achieved and implemented out “Trojan Horse” program which leverages the subject matter experts, not sales staff, to create opportunities.

In parallel, KLA identified what was working and was not working in the sales process, the quality of the team, the gaps in training and implement a systematic program to address these findings.
