HubSpot · Strategy

Know what to build before anything gets built.

Three shapes: a feasibility evaluation before you commit to HubSpot, an optimization assessment of a portal you already have, or a migration roadmap before you leave another CRM. All three end in a written plan you can act on with or without us.

When this is the right engagement

  • You are choosing between HubSpot and Salesforce, or renewing one of them, and want an answer grounded in your workflow rather than a demo
  • The portal has been live for a year or more and nobody is sure which automations still matter
  • A migration is coming and leadership wants a plan, a sequence, and a risk list before a budget
  • Two business units are about to share one portal and the data model has never been written down
  • Someone has asked what HubSpot is actually costing and what it would take to make it earn that

What you get

  • A current-state map of the lead-to-cash workflow, by team and by system
  • A portal audit: objects, properties, pipelines, workflows, integrations, and reporting, each marked keep, fix, or retire
  • A data quality finding: duplicates, orphaned records, ownership gaps, and fields nobody fills
  • A recommended data model and integration architecture
  • A prioritized roadmap with sequence, dependencies, and what each step unlocks
  • A HubSpot tier and seat recommendation based on the features the design depends on
  • A readout for leadership and a working session for the team who will own it

How it runs

  1. 01

    Discovery interviews

    Sellers, ad ops, finance, marketing, and whoever administers the portal today. We ask how the work actually happens, not how the process document says it does.

  2. 02

    Portal and data review

    Read-only access and exports. We profile the data, inventory the automation, and trace every integration to what it really moves.

  3. 03

    Workflow and system map

    One picture of lead to cash across HubSpot, the ad system, the ERP, and the spreadsheets in between, with the manual steps marked.

  4. 04

    Options and recommendation

    What to keep, what to fix, what to rebuild, and what to leave alone, with the trade-offs stated plainly.

  5. 05

    Roadmap readout

    A leadership session and a working session for the team. You leave with a sequence you can run yourself or hand to us.

Questions we get

Do we have to hire you for the build afterward?

No. The roadmap is written so any competent team can run it. Most clients do continue with us, because the people who wrote it already understand the business, but that is a choice you make after the readout.

How much access do you need?

Read-only access to the portal and exports of the data we need to profile. We do not change anything during an assessment, and we say so in writing.

Work and news

Notes from HubSpot engagements.

Case studies from HubSpot engagements are being prepared for publication. The announcements above are the public record in the meantime.

Start with the stuck point

What should HubSpot be doing that it isn’t?

Bring the workflow, handoff, or report that keeps resurfacing. We will tell you whether it is a HubSpot problem, a data problem, or a systems problem, and what to do about it.
