Berlitz has partnered with StreamForce Solutions to implement a new SalesForce organization with CPQ, streamlining the Sales to Education Delivery process. Berlitz set the goal to create a streamlined system that would work for the global operation, providing the same system and structure to all locations of Berlitz training centers. Berlitz desired a Lead to Revenue operation, streamlining the enrollment and delivery process, and providing a single system for sales and lesson delivery.

  • SalesForce Sales Cloud
  • Docusign
  • Stripe
  • SalesForce Revenue Cloud (CPQ)
  • Netsuite with Celigo
  • Salesforce Experience Cloud
  • Avalara AvaTax
  • Salesforce Education Cloud
  • Custom Education System Integration

The Challenge

  • Complex Product Catalog with large product list.
  • Enrollment process required multiple systems, data entry into multiple programs, and heavy employment costs.
  • Scheduling process required multiple employees, manual data entry into multiple systems.
  • No ability for the students to see their progress or communicate with Berlitz without calling.
  • No ability for the teachers to communicate directly with students outside of classes or provide status updates.
  • No standardized processes for taxes, payment gateways, and no integrations for the various number of systems.

The Solution

  • Developed a Revenue Cloud Sales Solution to minimize the product list and allow pricing via configuration options.
  • Developed an automated enrollment process that enrolls students into programs upon a successful closed/won opportunity.
  • Created a custom Scheduling process to schedule programs with minimal effort.
  • Created a custom Learner Portal, allowing learners to view and maintain their schedule, see instructor profiles, schedule meetings with Sales Personnel, create support cases, communicate with their instructor, and receive certificate updates.
  • Created a custom Teacher Portal, allowing teachers to view and maintain their schedule, see student profiles, communicate with their students, and enter progress pedagogy records.
  • Integrated Salesforce with DocuSign, Avalara AvaTax, Stripe, NetSuite, and custom teaching solutions developed for Berlitz to streamline the education process.

The Outcome

  • Reduced the language product list to just 3 products, and reduced the sales process to a filtered list of materials to associate with the products based on the configuration options of the language courses.
  • Removed the manual data entry to enroll the learners into programs entirely via use of flows and automation.
  • Streamlined the Scheduling process for programs, reducing the overhead needs and simplifying the process by showing instructor availability.
  • Created a one-stop Learner’s portal for all course related activities, including workbook downloads, scheduling maintenance, payments, and communication.
  • Created a one-stop Instructor’s portal for all courses they are instructing, including progress tracking, scheduling maintenance and communication.
