Heard about Rampd/Darren from my Instagram feeds and have been following the newsletter for a long time. After YC, we wanted to figure out how to make our sales process repeatable so we could scale easily. Darren was an expert in this. We have now set up the framework and been implementing it. We are able to close deals much easier and no longer have to customize deals for every single new customer!

Introduction

After graduating from Y Combinator’s W24 batch, Upsolve AI needed to transition from founder-led sales to a scalable, repeatable process. Co-Founder Ka Ling Wu had been following Darren and Rampd for some time and knew they were the right fit to help build a structured approach to customer acquisition.

Challenge

Upsolve AI had initial traction but struggled with consistency in closing deals. Each new customer required a customized sales approach, making it difficult to scale. They needed a framework that allowed them to streamline their sales motion and convert customers more predictably.

“We knew we had a great product idea, but we were stuck in a cycle of uncertainty. Rampd helped us pinpoint the real issues holding us back, from unclear market targeting to a lack of scalable sales strategies.”

Solution

Darren and the Rampd team worked closely with Upsolve AI to implement a structured sales framework that allowed for repeatable, scalable customer acquisition.

Sales Framework Implementation: Designed a structured, repeatable process that could be applied across multiple customer segments.
Eliminating Over-Customization: Helped standardize deal structures to improve efficiency and scalability.
Optimized Closing Process: Provided guidance on improving deal velocity and reducing friction in the sales cycle.

“The guidance we received was nothing short of transformative. From market research to creating a sales roadmap, every step was tailored to our unique needs. Rampd turned our vague plans into actionable strategies.”

Results

- Successfully implemented a repeatable sales framework.
- Closed deals more easily without needing excessive customization.
- Built a scalable process that supports long-term growth.
