Lative: Defining Growth Efficiency In RevOps

What happens when a global operations leader with 20 years of experience at top SaaS companies teams up with a sales-transforming tech leader? You get Lative — an industry shaker that puts the spotlight on actual sales achievements over projections.

Co-founders Werner Schmidt and Laura Tortosa Sancho started with a bold idea: make every work minute count. Leveraging AI-driven tools, Lative revolutionizes RevOps. 

Their mission? To help companies hit targets, invest smarter, and plan with laser precision.

We joined forces with Lative in 2022 thanks to an introduction from a long-time friend who’s a Lative advisor. At the time, Lative was a seed-stage startup with no website and zero online presence. And yet they were on their way to pioneer a new concept: Growth Efficiency.

“Empact Partners team are SaaS GTM experts. Their crew helped Lative to define its core messaging and create sales enablement materials that we are truly proud of.”

Growth Efficiency is all about avoiding financial waste and focusing on real sales productivity. It means aligning GTM resources, efforts, and strategies to produce tangible, measurable results. By leveraging data and insights, companies can optimize their sales processes, invest wisely, and ensure that every action drives real progress. 

Empact Challenge

Lative was on a mission to introduce a revolutionary product in their space. And yes, we know it sounds cliché, but it was truly groundbreaking. They set a new benchmark with the idea of Growth Efficiency.

Empact Roadmap

Growth Efficiency eBook Creation

To help Lative coin a new term, and define a whole new RevOps software niche, we created an all-encompassing eBook on Growth Efficiency. The result?

A powerful eBook that clearly articulated Lative’s innovative approach, positioning them as thought leaders in the sales automation industry.

The process was as thorough as it was journalistic:

Kasper Hulthin

Former Co-Founder @ Peakon

“We had a big team selling to SMBs, which we thought was a good idea at the time. However, two years later, we decided to stop selling to SMBs because it wasn’t profitable. If we had something like the Growth Efficiency Metric, we would have never hired those front-line salespeople. Instead, we would have focused on selling to Enterprise without taking the two-year knock to realize this.”

Growth Achievements

The ‘State of Growth Efficiency’ eBook had a three-fold effect on Lative’s overall growth:

The eBook was successfully launched on Product Hunt, netting over 230 upvotes and further enhancing Lative’s market presence.
