Hubspot is a robust sales engagement platform that covers three popular and very distinct areas of study:
- Marketing
- Sales
- Service
However, there is a fourth, far less thought of area, in the Hubspot suite: the technology side of the platform. This system component typically gets far less consideration than marketing, sales, and service. Still, it is a vital factor in business efficiency and outcomes. For companies across multiple industries, the technology piece of the Hubspot environment may require a partner that provides Hubspot technical consulting services.
Hubspot Technical Consulting Services Help Businesses Optimize System ROI
As you adopt the platform, you will quickly discover that three factors increase Hubspot’s ROI:
- Integration with other systems
- Leveraging automation rules
- Pulling metrics for informed decision making
Depending on the complexity of the business, optimizing the system to perform these three functions may require additional technology. For founder-led organizations with resources already stretched thin, outsourcing these needs to a Hubspot technical consulting team accelerates the process.
What is a Hubspot Certified Partner?
A Hubspot Certified partner is an organization that is registered with Hubspot as a partner and has ensured that team members in the organization are all Hubspot certified. This effort ensures that the Hubspot certified partner has a strong understanding of the Hubspot platform, and they can enhance your sales and marketing needs.
When To Consider Partnering With a Hubspot Technical Consulting Firm
Hubspot is an easy to use tool with great support and a host of training videos, so why would you need Hubspot Consulting Services? When it comes to sales, marketing, and Hubspot, there is a massive amount to learn. Hubspot certified partners have gone through a significant amount of training on Sales funnels, including:
- Account-based marketing best practices
- Inbound sales
- SEO
- Sales and marketing strategies and tactics
Working with a Hubspot certified partner means you are not just getting Hubspot technical consulting services where someone can create an email template or know which buttons to click. You are also getting an advisory service that can proactively make recommendations.
While some Hubspot configurations can be performed easily by users, there are several times when working with a Hubspot technical consulting firm may make better sense.
Integrations
There are many Hubspot add ons that easily integrate with the platform. However, as sales and marketing complexity increases, so will the complexity of integrations to other systems. For example: At FounderScale, we find the Zoom Webinar to Hubspot Integration works well for most clients, but as webinar volume goes up, there are multiple missing features that would need to be implemented by a Hubspot technical consultant.
API
Working with APIs to push and pull data from Hubspot to other systems is a developer level task. The developer managing the implementation will need experience with the Hubspot API to complete the task in a timely manner.
Custom Objects
The high-level editions of Hubspot provide the ability to create more customer objects, relationships, and other structures to support your business. These custom objects require a technical level knowledge of the platform for efficiency and success.
Common Challenges
Other common challenges such as cross object reports ( Report with Contact and Deal data on one sheet ), creating Automation rules, and complex logic are often more efficiently completed by someone with a technical level understanding of databases, tables, and Hubspot.
