The Challenge
The sales organization needed a way to track and monitor in real-time their progress and stats. They needed to hit certain goals and numbers in order to rise through the ranks and become dominant players in the field.
The sales side is set up like a football team. It was so well done that Vivint Solar became the first organization outside of typical sports to become a part of Team Nike.
The app needed to not only reach the standards and needs of Vivint Solar but now also Nike.

The Solution.
To find the right solution, we needed to go back to the drawing whiteboard and start listing out what were the needs/ wants of both the business and the sales reps. This is not an easy task when you are dealing with over 3,000 sales reps. Everyone has an opinion and is eager to voice that opinion if given the opportunity.
Eventually, we have identified enough areas and journey mapped countless scenarios, we felt comfortable enough to start wireframing out some ideas (The great thing about wireframing, is it allows you to get out just enough of a pattern or shape to form the idea and create a story).
After wireframing and prototyping a few key areas, we were able to present the ideas to the sales team, and the executive team to get the buy-off needed to start in on the hi-fidelity mocks and get things ready for final rounds of testing/ iterations and finally developer hand-offs.
During this process, we knew that having too many hands in the pot would not give us the insight or feedback we needed to propel this project. So we created a CAB of a few select reps that we knew would be insightful and offer the meaningful feedback we would need.
During the initial phases, we went through numerous versions of the design. Knowing that we needed to have a lot of information shown, but also keep it clean and edgy enough was vital.
These images reflect where we started from and where we ended up. A lot of this was from constant “show-n-tell” with the CAB that we established. We also had the buy in of the business and all the stake holders.
