How RevOps Central Helped
Punjab Film City

Event businesses don’t fail because of demand

They fail because speed outpaces control.

Punjab Film City operates across movie shoots, song shoots, and a high volume of pre-wedding shoots across Punjab, India. These pre-wedding shoots are typically one-day, transactional bookings where speed matters more than polish.

Leads move fast.
Most conversations happen over calls.
Missed follow-ups mean lost revenue.

As demand increased, Punjab Film City wasn’t struggling to get enquiries. They were struggling to stay in control of them.

The problem: fast growth, limited visibility

Enquiries were coming in from multiple channels. Calls were happening constantly. Decisions were being made quickly.

But there was no reliable way to answer basic questions in real time:

  • Which enquiries had already been contacted?
  • Which ones still needed follow-up?
  • What was confirmed vs still pending?
  • How many bookings were actually in motion?

Follow-ups depended on memory.
Updates depended on asking.
Reporting required manual consolidation.

Nothing was “broken,” but the risk was clear: as volume increased, revenue leakage would increase with it.

Why RevOps Central was brought in

Punjab Film City didn’t reach out for “CRM implementation.”

They reached out for clarity without disruption.

The goal was not to install another tool or slow the team down. It was to bring structure to a fast-moving operation without breaking what already worked.

Instead of jumping straight into configuration, RevOps Central deliberately slowed the process to understand:

  • How a booking actually moved from first enquiry to payment
  • Where follow-ups were getting delayed or missed
  • Which steps relied too heavily on individual memory
  • How the team worked day to day under pressure

Choosing the right level of system (not the biggest one)

During the assessment, platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce were evaluated.

While powerful, they were not aligned with:

  • Punjab Film City’s budget
  • The team’s operational maturity
  • The need for speed and simplicity

The business needed structure and flexibility without overhead.

That assessment led to Zoho CRM.

Designing a system the team could actually follow

Zoho CRM Enterprise was selected for its ability to adapt to real workflows rather than forcing rigid processes.

Before building anything, RevOps Central worked closely with the team to remove ambiguity that previously lived only in people’s heads:

  • What exactly qualifies as a lead?
  • When should a lead be contacted?
  • What changes when a customer asks for a UPI scanner?
  • When is an enquiry considered a confirmed booking?

The objective was clear:

Don’t digitise habits. Design a system people will actually use.

Making calls visible without adding admin work

Because the business is phone-driven, call visibility was critical.

Knowlarity was introduced as the cloud telephony layer and integrated directly with Zoho CRM.

This allowed:

  • Calls to be placed directly from CRM records
  • Every interaction to be logged automatically
  • Call activity to become reliable data without manual updates

For a high-speed, call-heavy operation, this became the foundation of accountability.

Turning enquiries into visible revenue

Implementation started with lead management:

  • Clear lead stages
  • Defined ownership
  • Structured follow-up logic

No enquiry depended on memory anymore.

Deals were then introduced to represent active and confirmed bookings, allowing leadership to see revenue in motion instead of static enquiry lists.

Telecallers now started their day inside the CRM:

  • Working from prioritised lead lists
  • Calling with one click
  • Updating outcomes immediately after conversations

What previously required spreadsheets, phones, and manual updates now lived in one system.

Dashboards built for decisions, not reporting

Dashboards were designed by role:

  • CEO: high-level visibility into enquiries, bookings, call activity, and trends
  • Sales managers: daily call volume, follow-ups, conversion rates, performance
  • Marketing: channel-wise and region-wise lead quality tied directly to bookings

An additional dashboard created transparency with the outsourced marketing partner, showing lead volume and outcomes in real time.

Reporting moved from manual effort to instant visibility.

Enabling hyper-local growth across Punjab

To support regional expansion, the CRM was structured to consistently capture:

  • Lead source
  • Campaign attribution
  • Location and region

This allowed Punjab Film City to run hyper-local campaigns and evaluate performance by location instead of assumptions. Marketing decisions became evidence-based rather than instinct-driven.

The result

Punjab Film City didn’t slow down.
They gained control.

  • Faster, more reliable follow-ups
  • Clear visibility into bookings and revenue
  • No dependence on individual memory
  • Real-time insight without admin overhead

Most importantly, structure was added without breaking what already worked.

Why this case matters to other event-based businesses

If your business is:

  • Phone-driven
  • Time-sensitive
  • High-volume
  • Vulnerable to missed follow-ups

This case shows what’s possible when you prioritise clarity over complexity.

RevOps Central didn’t introduce friction.
They removed it.

That’s what sales visibility should feel like in an event-based business.
