The Opportunity

This recruitment SaaS platform had built a successful solution serving agencies and corporate talent acquisition teams. The business had reached $3 million in ARR—a significant milestone that demonstrated product-market fit and market traction. But operational chaos beneath the surface was preventing the company from scaling efficiently and predictably.

Messy data systems created decision-making paralysis. Customer data was scattered across multiple systems with inconsistent formats, incomplete records, and conflicting information. Leadership couldn't answer basic questions with confidence: What's our true churn rate? Which customer segments have the highest LTV? What's our actual CAC by channel? Every strategic decision required days of manual data archaeology.

Revenue attribution was nonexistent, making marketing investment decisions essentially guesswork. The marketing team spent significant budget across multiple channels—content marketing, paid ads, partnerships, events—but couldn't determine which activities actually drove revenue. Marketing was a cost center with unclear ROI rather than a growth engine with measurable returns.

Sales performance tracking was unclear and inconsistent. Individual rep performance, pipeline health, and forecast accuracy were all opaque. Sales leadership operated on gut feel rather than data, making it impossible to identify underperformers, optimize processes, or scale what worked.

The operational infrastructure that got the platform to $3M ARR wouldn't get them to $10M. The data chaos, attribution gaps, and performance opacity created a ceiling that prevented efficient scaling. Every new customer, every new rep, and every new marketing dollar added complexity rather than clarity.

"We had hit $3M ARR, but our data systems were a disaster. We couldn't tell you our true churn rate, which marketing channels actually worked, or which sales reps were really performing. Every board meeting required days of manual data compilation, and we still weren't confident in the numbers. We needed operational infrastructure that would give us clarity and allow us to scale with confidence."

The Solution

Morris Enterprises was engaged to build comprehensive RevOps infrastructure over a 90-day transformation. We didn't just clean data—we built systematic revenue operations from the ground up. We deployed the M.E. Architecture™ with a focus on data governance and operational clarity.

Revenue Attribution System

We implemented end-to-end revenue attribution infrastructure that tracked every customer from initial touchpoint through closed deal and beyond. Multi-touch attribution models captured the entire customer journey, assigning appropriate credit to every marketing activity, sales interaction, and product touchpoint.

The attribution system integrated with all marketing channels, the CRM, and the billing system to create a unified view of the customer acquisition process. Marketing leaders could now see exactly which campaigns drove pipeline, which channels generated the highest-quality leads, and which activities delivered the best ROI.

We built real-time dashboards showing CAC by channel, LTV by acquisition source, payback period by segment, and marketing-influenced revenue. Marketing decisions shifted from intuition-based to data-driven, enabling confident budget allocation and channel optimization.

Operational Infrastructure

We rebuilt the operational infrastructure with systematic data flows, automated reporting, and clear accountability frameworks. We implemented data integration layers that connected previously siloed systems—marketing automation, CRM, billing, product analytics—into a unified operational platform.

We created standardized data definitions and governance policies that ensured data consistency across the organization. Everyone now used the same definitions for key metrics like MRR, churn, CAC, and LTV. Board reports, team dashboards, and executive reviews all pulled from the same source of truth.

Data Governance and Analytics

We implemented comprehensive data governance frameworks that maintained data quality over time. Automated validation rules caught errors at the point of entry. Regular audits identified and corrected inconsistencies. Data stewardship responsibilities were clearly assigned.

We built analytics infrastructure that provided self-service access to key metrics for every team. Sales reps could see their pipeline health in real-time. Marketing managers could analyze campaign performance without waiting for analyst support. Executives could access board-ready reports instantly.

Cross-Functional RevOps Structure

We created a cross-functional RevOps structure that aligned marketing, sales, and customer success around unified metrics and processes. We eliminated the silos that previously created conflicting priorities and misaligned incentives.

We implemented regular RevOps reviews where leaders from all functions analyzed performance data together, identified bottlenecks, and aligned on optimization priorities. The organization shifted from functional optimization to end-to-end revenue optimization.

The Impact

The 90-day transformation delivered operational clarity, data-driven decision-making, and accelerated growth. The company went from data chaos to systematic revenue operations.

Bookings doubled through systematic optimization enabled by clear attribution and performance visibility. The company could now identify which marketing activities drove results and scale those investments confidently. Growth became predictable rather than opportunistic.

The $3M ARR foundation now supported a scalable trajectory toward $10M+ ARR. Attribution clarity turned marketing from a cost center into a measurable growth engine. Operational efficiency skyrocketed, as tasks that once took days—like board reports and performance analysis—now happened in minutes.

"The transformation gave us the operational foundation we needed to scale. We doubled bookings, but more importantly, we now have complete visibility into what's driving that growth. We know our true metrics, we can make decisions in hours instead of days, and we have the infrastructure to scale to $10M+ ARR. This is what SaaS operations should look like: clean data, clear attribution, and systematic growth."
