Overview

Craft skill minus a sales system

RangLakdi's blue pottery and woodcraft sold through two Jaipur outlets plus sporadic fair orders. The founder spent 70% of each week chasing payments while repeating answers — with 400+ past enquiries sitting untouched in a spreadsheet.

A two-person Harborline pod took over the full funnel: list building, outreach, sample handling, quotation chasing and reorder development.

Challenge

Everything founder-led

No CRM, no organised follow-up, quotes shared as WhatsApp photos without versions. EU buyers saw a charming workshop — not a dependable supplier. Samples dispatched; replies never came back.

Approach

A pod that sells like founders

  • Week 1: CRM installed; 400 dormant enquiries revived, with 11 reactivations in the first fortnight.
  • Weeks 2–4: EU home-decor buyers — 1,200 sequenced via email, LinkedIn and calls.
  • Month 2: sampling programme organised with tracking, reminders and reorder nudges.
  • Month 3: 38 accounts won; reorders now repeat without the founder.

Outcome

21% closure rate, founder released

Repeat orders now cover the pod's cost three times over. The founder now gives his time to design and making, with the pipeline on weekly check-ins.

“A 21% closure rate sounds unheard of in our trade. Worth every single rupee.” — Arjun Mehta, Founder
