HubSpot Onboarding Services

HubSpot Onboarding Services

HubSpot is the #1 CRM that helps companies and organizations scale and grow.

Whether you are currently considering HubSpot or have recently signed up with HubSpot, it’s essential to implement the system properly.

 

Generic onboarding, as in one size fits all, does not always work. It’s much better to have your HubSpot Onboarding customized to your company according to how your marketing, sales, and service teams operate - or need to operate.

Common Challenges
in HubSpot CRM Onboarding

Here are some common challenges you may encounter if your HubSpot Onboarding is not executed correctly:

1

Contact Data

Incomplete and complicated contact data imports risk losing critical customer information, requiring a significant number of hours to fix the data issues between your old contact database and the HubSpot CRM. Don’t leave your important data imports to chance.
2

Employee
Behavior

Learning a new platform can sometimes require a change in employee and team behavior. Therefore, ensuring that they can thoroughly learn the new HubSpot CRM is essential for full utilization so you can receive the most benefits from your investment.
3

Information
Overload

Your teams can go into information overload when trying to learn a new CRM, creating confusion and increasing the likelihood of making mistakes. This can lead to wasted time and money. Let us help you implement your new CRM in the most effective way for your work environment.
4

Planning

Lack of proper planning can lead to delays, missteps, and confusion when setting up your new CRM. Ensure that your new HubSpot CRM is set up according to the needs of each job role.
5

Team
Effectiveness

Failure to integrate your marketing, sales, and service processes into your CRM may lead to cross-functional team friction and make your teams’ jobs more challenging. Of course, the point of getting the HubSpot CRM is to help improve your teams’ jobs and processes, so ensuring it is set up correctly from the beginning is critical.
6

Reporting
and Analytics

HubSpot has many out-of-the-box reports and analytics available to place onto reporting dashboards. You can also create custom reports and add them to your dashboards.
To ensure proper decision-making, you must understand how to set up these reports and dashboards.
7

App
Integration

Poor third-party application integration leads to a lack of data and vital information that your team and decision-makers may need. Ensure that your third-party apps are correctly connected and working.
The Xcellimark Difference in CRM Onboarding

The Xcellimark
Difference in CRM
Onboarding

HubSpot requires all customers to be onboarded by either a certified HubSpot Solutions Partner like Xcellimark or HubSpot’s onboarding consultants.

 

There are key differences between Xcellimark’s Onboarding Process and HubSpot Onboarding:

 

  1. Xcellimark does the onboarding work for you. In contrast, HubSpot tells your team what to do, and the responsibility is on you to do that correctly, efficiently, and effectively.

  2. Xcellimark customizes your HubSpot system to your company and team instead of trying to make your company and team fit HubSpot.

  3. Xcellimark’s onboarding process sets your company up for success, providing a gateway to our advanced, customized training services for your company. While you can get generic training videos in HubSpot’s Academy, Xcellimark steps outside the one-size-fits-all training model to train your team more effectively. Training is based on your specific HubSpot license and implementing the functionality based on exactly how your company and teams operate.
