How Operatix Clients Go-to-Market Faster with Growth Genie’s Sales Playbooks
As a leader in pipeline, sales, and revenue acceleration for B2B technology companies, Operatix, an outsourced sales specialist, has a wealth of experience driving lead generation for some of the world’s biggest tech players, as well as emerging software vendors and scale-ups.
The company’s results-oriented focus and commitment to excellence has proven to be a winning formula. Between 2019 and 2020, Operatix drove a 23% increase in revenue across both North America and Europe, improved sales bookings by 30%, and increased global headcount by 31%.
“It’s a good challenge to have,” jokes Adam Rangel, Operations Director at Operatix. “We’re growing extremely quickly. But as you know, when you’re growing quickly, the processes can be tough to catch up with.”
In his role at Operatix, Rangel manages roughly 50% of the organization’s clients in North and South America and is responsible for everything from managing profit and loss, revenue, and margins, to successfully launching new client programs. It was challenges around this go-to-market process specifically that led Operatix to engage Growth Genie to develop sales playbooks for some client accounts.

Helping Clients Get to Market More Quickly
“We get a lot of new clients who have a phenomenal product, but they don’t necessarily have the sales tools, cadences, or really anything to sell the product,” explains Rangel. During a typical go-to-market engagement, the team at Operatix meets with the client’s sales and technical representatives to get to know their products and technology. They also explore the client’s ideal customer profiles and verticals so that Operatix’s sales development representatives (SDRs) can more effectively generate leads and set appointments for the client.
“Growth Genie helps expedite every single one of those things,” Rangel states. By working directly with Operatix’s clients, “Growth Genie is able to take clients’ pains, what works, and what doesn’t work, and make everything we need to launch a sales program quicker and sooner. One of the main pieces of feedback I get from clients is the ease of use.
Growing Revenue Through Expansion Sales
“Our job is very simple: clients come to us for qualified meetings,” Rangel states. “That’s about 90% of our job. When we do well, they want to spend more money. If we’re bringing qualified meetings to their door, they’ll spend more money to bring in more meetings.”
These types of expansion sales represent a significant growth opportunity for Operatix, but they also require additional effort to execute. According to Rangel, “When expansions occur, we have to bring a new resource onboard, and this person does not have the context of the ideal customer profile that the rest of the team has.”
“That’s one place Growth Genie comes in,” he notes. “Growth Genie is essentially a catalyst that gets them up and going a lot quicker. So, one, that helps us sell our services a lot easier, and two, that helps us launch the expansion quicker.”
“I was trying to think of a negative or a ‘con’ of working with Growth Genie, and the only thing I can think of is that I need more sales playbooks.”
Supporting the Operatix Sales Team at All Levels
In addition to supporting expansion sales, Growth Genie’s sales playbooks help Operatix to quickly onboard sales representatives who may be new to enterprise software sales.
“A lot of these reps have little time to become experts in the ideal customers they are selling to ” Rangel explains. “With Growth Genie, they already have everything at their disposal to learn, as opposed to Operatix making it, reviewing it, and then giving it to the rep. That helps with a quicker go-to-market as well.”
Growth Genie’s sales playbooks are similarly helpful when turnover occurs at Operatix. “When we have to fill that gap, we have the Growth Genie playbook to really help ramp up that new resource, quickly and effectively,” notes Rangel. “Getting a new hire truly ramped up takes anywhere from two to four weeks without Growth Genie. With Growth Genie, we can have them ramped up in as little as a week.”
“On a personal level, Growth Genie saves me a lot of time and headache,” Rangel shares. “I know that, when I introduce Growth Genie to a client, I can 100% trust the team to execute on the sales playbook.”
Ultimately, Rangle concludes, “Working with Growth Genie on several accounts has helped me in terms of growing here at Operatix, helping my team expand, and helping our clients go to market sooner. At the end of the day, your SDRs are only as good as their cadences, their scripts, and their sales playbook. If you can’t do that effectively – or if you don’t have time to do it – Growth Genie can come in and do just as good a job, if not better than you can.”
