The Growth Consultants

Client: The Growth Consultants
Interviewee: Kyle Weeks, Co-Founder and Director
Sector: Sales, Marketing and Technology
Company Size: 2-10 
Migrated from: NO CRM

The Growth Consultants is a specialist recruitment consultancy covering the United Kingdom from their offices in Bristol. They specialise in placing top talent within the Sales, Marketing, and Renewables sectors, helping businesses scale effectively.

Co-Founder Kyle Weeks had experienced the frustration of “clunky” databases that hindered rather than helped recruiters. ongoing partnership with Seven20, which began in 2020, has transformed their operations. By moving to a platform that evolves almost monthly and offers complete customisation, The Growth Consultants have seen a tangible increase in revenue and productivity, while significantly reducing manual administrative tasks.

The Challenge: The Productivity Cap

Before Seven20, the team struggled with legacy systems that were simply data repositories rather than productivity tools. The lack of smart features meant the team was working harder, not smarter.

  • Clunky Infrastructure: Previous databases were difficult to navigate and lacked flow.
  • Feature Gaps: Essential tools required for modern recruitment were missing.
  • Stifled Productivity: The technology was a barrier to efficiency, preventing the team from maximising their output.

“I had used multiple other CRM’s prior to Seven20, we had clunky databases with hardly any features that enabled our team to be productive and work smart.”

The Solution: A Consultative Partnership

Kyle first partnered with Seven20 founders Josh and Max in 2020. The difference in approach was immediately apparent. Seven20 didn’t just sell a product; they diagnosed the business needs, identifying opportunities for improvement that the client wasn’t even aware of.

  • Recruiter-First Mindset: The Seven20 team understood the specific nuances and challenges of the recruitment landscape.
  • Consultative Sales: The process was educational, introducing features that fundamentally changed how the agency worked.
  • No Pressure: The experience was defined by listening and understanding, rather than a hard sell.

“Seven20 took time to understand what I was looking to achieve from a CRM but more importantly the things I was unaware of, which have absolutely changed the way we work.”

The Result: Revenue & Efficiency

The impact of the switch was measurable across the business’s bottom line and daily operations.

  • Financial Growth: Direct correlation to increased revenue.
  • Operational Efficiency: A significant decrease in time spent on manual, low-value tasks.
  • Productivity: The team is now equipped to work at a higher pace with better tools.

Continuous Evolution

A key differentiator for The Growth Consultants is the agility of the Seven20 platform. Unlike static legacy systems, the platform grows with the agency.

“It evolves almost monthly! That’s the part we love, if we want it – they make it happen… Nothing has ever not been implemented.”

The Experience: Exceptional Support

The relationship is cemented by a high standard of customer care. Kyle highlights the personal dedication of the account management team.

“It’s always been brilliant, right now it’s the best it’s been. James (our account manager) is absolutely brilliant… He goes above and beyond regularly.”

Kyle’s Advice for Business Leaders

“Stop wasting time on Google, doing demos and going to Bullhorn or Hubspot (they are nowhere near as good as Seven20). Just go with Seven20 and build whatever you need yourself. I have absolutely no regrets… I will be a customer as long as my business is running.”
