Kixik / 2025 / RevOps / Sales

Zero-to-Revenue GTM Engine.

A pivot to a new sales motion with no CRM, no pipeline, and one rep. Fourteen days to prove it worked.

14 days

from zero infrastructure to first client signed

01The problem

Kixik pivoted from a mobile app to a lead-delivery agency, an entirely new sales motion. There was no CRM, no pipeline, and no automated nurture. Manual note-taking and admin were about to choke the only sales rep they had. The window to prove traction was fourteen days.

02The decision

Design first, automate second. I blueprinted the entire flow in Miro as a single scroll before building anything, which kept scope creep at zero in a two-week build. The second decision was to keep the rep out of dashboards entirely: one Google Form is the whole input surface. Every CRM object gets created downstream of that form, because a rep who is doing data entry is a rep who is not selling.

03What I built

  • Pipedrive as CRM with custom fields for ICP tier, lead source, next touch, and assets sent, all on one board view.
  • Google Form to n8n webhook: creates Person, Lead, Deal, and Activity instantly, appends call notes to the deal, and schedules the follow-up.
  • Native Pipedrive nurture sequence triggered on stage change: deck and booking link at 5 minutes, case study at 24 hours, last-chance ask at 72 hours, with exit logic on any stage move.
  • Two more n8n flows for stage sync and SLA guardrails: booking via the emailed link advances the stage automatically, and no movement in 7 days pings the rep and drops the deal into nurture.
  • A 6-page playbook with scripts, checklist, and edge-case SOP.
