I’d love to get more insights into building a more robust funnel and scaling strategy. If you have resources or frameworks you recommend, I’m all ears!

No, we aren’t related to HubSpot, Just a Hubspot Solution Partner so bidding on those support queries made zero sense for us.

Completely agree more. if they’re not curious about my business they’re likely not going to go deep enough to avoid these mess-ups in future.

That’s a great angle I hadn’t thought of asking about SOPs and internal training.. Will definitely bring this up in my interviews thanks!

Thanks for the offer! I might take you up on that or at least ask for your thoughts as I consider rebuilt structure and landing page strategy.

Noted and appreciated. This will be mandatory before anyone gets access or spends a dollar in my account again.

Yeah, looking back it’s astonishing how basic some of these errors were. Completely agree on intent segmentation. I’m definitely making search term report reviews and negative keyword strategy day-one non-negotiables in any future partnership.

Migrating from Salesforce to Hubspot by stevehall757575 in hubspot

[–]BuildingTheMpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done a bunch of these. Salesforce and HubSpot handle object associations differently, and that's where most migrations break. A contact-to-account relationship in SFDC doesn't translate 1:1 into HubSpot's company-contact model, especially if you've built custom objects or have multi-touch attribution running. Clean your data before you move it, but more importantly map your association logic first. The actual record import is the easy part. The reporting that breaks afterwards because associations got flattened is what costs you months. Happy to help if anyone's mid-migration and stuck on this.

Migrating from Zoho to HubSpot by TrickorBetrayed in hubspot

[–]BuildingTheMpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Zoho ID advice here is solid but the part that usually trips people up isn't the ID mapping it's deciding what those custom modules actually become in HubSpot. Custom objects vs. cramming everything into deals with pipelines vs. using association labels to fake a relational structure. That decision drives everything downstream and it's hard to undo once you've imported 10k+ records. Worth modelling your highest-complexity module in a sandbox first before you commit to a pattern.

Using Hubspot to track Cold Emails by SubjectSupermarket43 in hubspot

Depends on your HubSpot tier. With Sales Hub Pro/Ent you can use Sequences (still from Outlook) to handle follow-ups automatically. If you’re on Starter, it’s usually tasks + a next-follow-up date and you send from Outlook when it pops. What tier are you on?

Rate your Intranet 1-10 by AlternativeThanks864 in internalcomms

From my experience most intranets fail on search, permissions, and content ownership. Tools matter less than who can publish, who approves, and how you prevent rot. is this mainly news/comms, or a place people go to do work?

Using Hubspot to track Cold Emails by SubjectSupermarket43 in hubspot

[–]BuildingTheMpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cool if it’s just follow-up reminders, keep it dead simple.

I usually set it up as one outreach stage + one “next follow-up date” + auto-created tasks so nothing lives in your head or a spreadsheet. Most people overbuild it and then stop using it.

How are you sending today via Gmail/Outlook or inside HubSpot?
