The Challenge

GlobalBank's enterprise sales team was spending $18,000 on NBA suite tickets with no way to justify the spend to finance. Entertainment wasn't tied to any specific deal — it was just a line item that kept getting cut.

What Changed

After implementing Dealgrounds, every event was linked to a live opportunity before it went for approval. The $18,000 NBA Finals suite was tied directly to the GlobalBank Analytics Suite deal — $850K in pipeline. Finance approved it in four hours.

"We tied $850K in pipeline to $18,000 of entertainment. Finance stopped asking questions and started asking how to increase the budget."

The Challenge

Meridian Corp's sales team was spending two days chasing approval for every client event. By the time approval came through, the moment had passed — clients had already moved on to competitors who moved faster.

What Changed

With Dealgrounds, approval requests for the Meridian Corp enterprise deal went from two days to four hours. A golf day at Pebble Beach ($3,200) and a client dinner at Le Mousso ($1,000) — both approved and booked before the week was out. The deal closed at $500K.

"Our reps used to spend more time chasing approvals than entertaining clients. Now it's the other way around — and our win rate shows it."

The Challenge

Apex Group's finance team kept cutting entertainment budget every quarter — because there was no proof it was working. The sales team knew it was moving deals, but couldn't demonstrate it with numbers.

What Changed

After one quarter on Dealgrounds, Apex walked into their budget review with a report showing $95K in closed revenue tied to $11,600 of entertainment spend — an 8.2× return. The next quarter's entertainment budget doubled.

"Finance was always the blocker. Dealgrounds gave them the visibility they needed — and gave us the freedom to entertain. Now everyone wins."
— Marcus Rivera, VP Strategy · Apex Group
What Teams Are Saying

In their own words.

"We used to hand finance a folder of restaurant receipts. Now we hand them a report showing $3.4M in revenue tied to $180K of client entertainment. That conversation is very different."

"Our reps used to spend two days getting approval for a client dinner. Now it takes 10 minutes. The deals that came from those dinners paid for the platform in the first month."

"I never knew which clients were going cold until it was too late. Now I get a warmth score on every contact and AI tells me exactly who to take to dinner next."

"The AI suggested golf for a client who hadn't mentioned it in any meeting — but it found the signal on LinkedIn. We played 18 holes and closed the deal the following week."

"Finance cut our entertainment budget three quarters in a row. After Dealgrounds, we showed them a 20× return on spend. They doubled our budget. That's what data does."
