The Challenge

The Challenge 

Software company Key approached Market Veep to bring structure, visibility, and automation to their expanding sales process. Their existing workflows lacked consistency across teams, making it difficult to track deal progress, manage data, and ensure timely follow-up. 

They needed a solution that would unify their sales activities on a single platform and improve adoption among team members. Our goal was to strategically implement HubSpot Sales Hub to align their processes, empower their team, and create a scalable foundation for growth.

The Solution

We led a comprehensive onboarding program centered on clarity, adoption, and strategic customization. Through targeted alignment calls and personalized configuration, we ensured the platform reflected their actual sales journey. 

Our implementation prioritized a data-driven structure with tailored deal stages, contact settings, and automation workflows to optimize efficiency and reporting. The result was a sales system that supported real-time collaboration, increased accountability, and gave leadership clear insight into revenue performance.

Key Results: 

  • Streamlined sales process with a fully customized HubSpot Sales Hub
  • One deal pipeline configured with 10 custom stages to match the client’s sales journey
  • Centralized data organization with tailored contact, company, and deal records
  • Enhanced lead routing for faster follow-up and reduced lead leakage

Process-First Configuration

Before touching any HubSpot settings, we prioritized understanding the client’s actual sales process from lead capture to close. This ensured that every customization from deal stages to data properties supported real-world workflows rather than generic CRM structures.
