In this episode of The Orange Network, Rob Jones sits down with Frank Devine, a Solutions Engineer at RevPartners.
Frank dives into a detailed HubSpot audit, exploring key insights and fixes for improving CRM systems.
Defining a HubSpot Expert
The concept of a HubSpot expert is subjective and is often defined by visible capabilities, such as managing complex workflows, creating detailed reports, and effectively utilizing HubSpot’s tools to automate processes. An expert demonstrates their expertise through action and results rather than certifications or titles.
Distinction Between HubSpot Expertise and RevOps Strategy
While a HubSpot expert focuses on the technical and tactical aspects of the platform, a RevOps strategist takes a broader view, understanding the entire customer lifecycle from first contact to renewal. The strategist uses HubSpot as a tool to align sales, marketing, and customer success, but their focus is on the overall strategy and business processes rather than just the tool itself.
The Importance of Impartial Audits
An impartial audit of a company's HubSpot usage by an expert can provide objective insights that internal teams might miss due to biases or lack of expertise. These audits are valuable for identifying systemic issues, such as incorrect data attribution or broken workflows, and for offering unbiased recommendations for improvement.
Optimizing HubSpot for Business Success
Effective use of HubSpot requires not just knowledge of the tool but also a strategic approach to implementing workflows, managing data, and ensuring all parts of the tech stack work cohesively. The goal is to enhance business processes, improve data hygiene, and ensure alignment between different departments, such as sales and marketing, to drive overall business success.
