Introduction
Credo Autoprieks (CA), emerging from the merger of two local driving schools, now stands as the largest in the region. Offering a comprehensive range of driving courses for all categories, from bicycles to heavy trucks and specialized equipment.
CA boasts a team of over 100 professionals, including teachers and independent vendors managing training fields. Annually, CA plays a pivotal role in issuing over 5,000 new driving licenses, alongside providing courses for enhancing driving skills.
The Challenge
Facing increased competition and digital demands, Credo Autoprieks (CA) needed to modernize its sales processes to enhance lead conversion. Competitors had advanced with remote education options, adapted swiftly to the digital economy, and benefited from new legislation on remote document signing, alongside increased marketing budgets leading to higher customer acquisition costs.
Our task was to digitize CA’s sales process, a clear and straightforward objective that underscored technology’s significant, rapid impact on sales. This case showcases the transformative power of digital solutions in boosting sales efficiency, presenting an inspiring success story.

Solution
We divided the challenge into two segments: Lead Conversion and Digital Customer Journey, prioritizing the critical task of boosting conversion rates. Despite limited interaction with staff, a strong partnership with the sales department director facilitated the integration of technology and management.
We implemented a straightforward kanban-style lead pipeline with distinct statuses, enabling sales reps to efficiently manage leads. Additionally, a dashboard displaying closure rates and commission bonuses spurred competitiveness, resulting in a 254% increase in closure rates and significantly reducing the cost per converted lead.
Addressing the lead conversion, we then enhanced the business process digitally. Integrating Salesforce Sales Cloud with CA’s proprietary Learning Management System (LMS) facilitated a gradual transition to Salesforce. The development of a Customer Account Portal using Salesforce Experience Cloud allowed for a seamless self-service transition, and integration with the ZOOM platform further expanded the company’s capabilities.
