The Problem
Lacking the time, expertise, and resources to build an admin layer
Castlight Health, like other fast growing public companies, lacked the time, expertise, and resources needed to build an administrative layer for their senior producers and client facing teams. When Castlight’s head of sales operations first met with Quickskill, only a couple of their highest level executives -in a company of 200- had direct support from an executive assistant. Offsite regional sales vice presidents (RVPs) from Charlotte to Portland were managing teams of up to a dozen reps while also juggling basic administrative tasks such as scheduling, expense reports, booking travel, and updating their CRM. Castlight engaged with Quickskill to create and manage an administrative support team for its RVPs.
The Goal
Add administrative support for Regional Level VPs to enable increased sales conversations and drive growth.
Our Solution
After surveying the Castlight team, Quickskillcustomized an implementation plan that fit each RVP’s workflow. Quickskill coached them on easily adoptable time management and delegation techniques. These best practices showed them how to get maximum leverage from their Quickskill assistants. This cleared the way for RVPs to quickly offload the following tasks.
Calendar Management
Scheduling was a tedious task for RVPs. Castlight worked with Quickskill to implement a scheduling process that maximized each executive’s time.
With our assistants managing all schedules and email ping-pong, RVPs can focus on preparing for critical meetings. Quickskill assistants relentlessly follow-up to ensure the right people are scheduled at the right time.
Expense Management
Before Quickskill, RVPs were responsible for filing their own expense reports. With limited spare time, executives struggled to send accurate reports by the deadline. Our assistants now handle all expense management so all reports are filed on time, ensuring correct accounting, timely reimbursement and peace of mind.
Travel Management
Planning travel was tedious and time consuming for executives. The assistants learned the travel preferences of each RVP such as preferred airports, airlines, travel times, and hotels. Managing travel arrangements ensures executives get the most out of their business trips.
Travel logistics are taken care of in a way that minimizes hassle, meets company guidelines, and deals with the cascading effects of any scheduling changes.
Salesforce Management
Castlight’s CRM is crucial to the sale’s team success. Quickskill assistants ensure all reports and data are upto- date for the team and management.
The CRM data is now easy to access, updated in real time, and can quickly be displayed in relevant reports and dashboards. With the assistants managing their CRM platform, sales managers have increased visibility into their pipeline and workflows.
Results
Quickskill’s productivity delivers back to Castlight approximately 1200 hours of more value-added time which enables sales executives to increase sales conversations and drive growth.
Each RVP’s assistant completes all administrative work, so they can spend more time selling and managing their teams and less time managing logistics.
The sales team leverages the up to-date CRM data to better target prospects and nurture relationships.
In addition to directly supporting each Castlight executive, Quickskill collaborates internally to identify, document, and share best practices. Valuable processes implemented for one Castlight executive can be quickly replicated across the team, to ensure consistency.
