National Value Creation & Successful Exit

Our relationship with our client’s Group Sales Director spanned more than 10 years. A partnership built on trust, results, and a shared ambition for growth at scale.

From the outset, we embedded ourselves with the board of directors, aligning with their vision to accelerate and transform the business for long-term value.

What we delivered

ReveGro delivered a flexible suite of value creation services, adapting our approach at pace to meet the evolving needs of the business. Over the decade, we worked closely and strategically with the Group Sales Director to streamline the sales process, support his internal sales strategy, and maximise every commercial opportunity. Our value creation services focused not only on generating new business, but on unlocking untapped potential within existing, dormant, lost, and wish list customers ensuring no opportunity was left unexplored and that a valuable monetary database asset was built at the heart of the business. We supported the management of the national depot network, turning underperforming depots back into profit, increasing revenues across the UK footprint, and embedding a culture of commercial discipline. Recognising the significant opportunities within the quote bank, we developed a process to supply the sales team with qualified opportunities to close, while also identifying new business across depots targeting multi-site opportunities with both existing and new clients. Robust account management and customer service were always prioritised, ensuring the sales loop was closed and client relationships nurtured for retention and growth. Our rigorous approach included competitor analysis and systematic follow-up on all new business meetings. We tracked outcomes: was the business won or lost, and why? Did the salesperson attend, and were they on time? This attention to detail was critical not just for closing sales, but for protecting the brand and ensuring a consistently high standard across every touchpoint.
