From Chaos to Clarity: How Bravo Store Systems Scaled with Process and Technology Excellence

As Bravo Store Systems scaled past $3M in revenue, the path ahead was clear—but not yet stable. Rapid expansion had outpaced internal operations. Disconnected systems, siloed functions, and a tangled HubSpot CRM were stalling momentum just when the business was poised to double.

Bravo didn’t need a tool upgrade. They needed a strategic partner—someone who could align people, process, and technology to pave a path for sustainable growth.

They found that partner in Processology.

 

"The work they do will be one of your best investments."

The Growth Roadblocks

The Cost of Scaling Without Structure

As Bravo’s revenue and team expanded, operational cracks deepened:

  • CRM Dysfunction: A disorganized HubSpot Enterprise instance filled with duplicates, outdated fields, and broken automations.

  • Zero Segmentation: All customers and prospects received the same emails—regardless of vertical, stage, or relationship.

  • Disconnected Reporting: Metrics lived in spreadsheets, inboxes, and fragmented dashboards. No single source of truth.

  • No Operational Playbook: Sales and marketing processes weren’t documented, creating inconsistency, confusion, and low adoption.

“There wasn’t a centralized place to understand how our teams were performing. We knew we had to clean things up—not just for now, but for where we were going.”
Kathleen Owen, VP of Revenue, Bravo Store Systems

 

The Turning Point: Bravo didn’t want a one-time CRM fix

A Holistic Partnership with Processology gave them an ongoing strategic ally who could help them transform today and scale tomorrow.

That’s why they partnered with Processology—to realign their sales, marketing, and service functions with intentional design and continuous improvement.

 

“What really struck me was that Processology understood the relationship between marketing, sales, and systems. They didn’t just come in with tactics—they helped us see the bigger picture.”
Kathleen Owen, VP of Revenue, Bravo Store Systems
