customer experience, efficiency and accessibility

Why Hubspot?

HubSpot's centralized solution is not a collection of disparate applications. The entire platform was developed in-house to provide simple, consistent and customizable software based on a single information hub that allows your teams to build stronger relationships with your customers at every stage of the buying journey.

When the customer is at the heart of every business decision, aligning all of its teams becomes much easier.

All departments are working in the same direction

The Hubspot environment

As customer journeys become more complex, technology can help or hinder companies from delivering a remarkable experience.

Fragmented technology systems result in silos between teams, making it difficult to align them. A user experience that lacks fluidity, which drives down adoption rates

A rigid technology environment, which makes it unadaptable.
Leverage marketing, sales, customer service, content management and operations software.

Clients who combine the Marketing Hub and CMS Hub see a 183% increase in inbound leads compared to clients who only use the Marketing Hub.

8 Steps to a successful CRM implementation

Sales force adoption is often the biggest hurdle for companies implementing a new CRM. Understanding how the CRM will support existing processes is key to a successful implementation.

What are the key steps in the team's purchasing process? Effective transaction steps are clearly defined and linked to a trackable action. Some common steps include scheduling a call/demo, sending a follow-up email, writing a proposal, winning the deal and losing the deal

Most CRMs will come with basic fields like contact email, country and company website. But these fields will not cover information specific to a certain industry. Custom fields ensure that a CRM contains all the information that is important to a specific company's marketing, sales and service teams.

For a CRM system to be effective, companies need clear rules dictating ownership of leads and accounts. Without this information, there will be conflicts between individual salespeople and more broadly between departments (e.g., sales and service).

If a company uses geographic territories to determine sales ownership, the CRM must be configured to store this information. Some CRM systems also allow for automatic lead routing based on territory rules.

Don't waste time importing old test contacts or fields that are no longer used. Delete dirty data before migration to avoid confusing your sales team.

Whenever large amounts of data are transferred from one system to another, there is a risk of losing some information. Companies should save an offline copy of each file before uploading it to the new CRM.

There is no reason to move all of the company's data at once. Moving data within sections makes it easier to identify unexpected behavior during migration.
