RevOps Challenges

Why Packaging Revenue Teams Struggle

These are the operational bottlenecks we solve with structured RevOps for packaging machinery & equipment businesses.

Trade Show Lead Decay 01

Packaging OEMs generate most pipeline at PACK EXPO, interpack, and regional shows. Without rapid, structured follow-up, these leads go cold within weeks — wasting the largest marketing investment of the year.

Every deal involves custom line configurations — speeds, materials, formats, integration with upstream/downstream equipment. Sales teams spend weeks on spec alignment instead of advancing the deal.

Many packaging OEMs sell through distributors and agents who own the customer relationship. Without visibility into channel pipeline, forecasting is guesswork and co-marketing is impossible.

Buyers treat packaging machinery as interchangeable unless shown otherwise. Without strong differentiation content and value engineering, deals default to price wars.

Spare parts, service contracts, and upgrades represent 30-40% of lifetime value but rarely get dedicated marketing attention. Most OEMs leave this revenue on the table.
