Situation

The CEO + marketing & sales leaders must manage a fragmented tech stack including Salesforce, DATEV & Dealfront. The team aims to introduce a new CRM to streamline processes, as Salesforce is underutilized and heavily reliant on manual work.

P

Pain

Manual invoicing and quoting in Word/Excel, poor data sync between tools, low user adoption, and scattered data lead to inefficiencies and reporting issues.

I

Impact

HubSpot can automate key processes, improve data quality, unify the tech stack, and reduce workload. This enhances campaign management, lead handover, and customer experience through clear workflows and better reporting.

C

Critical Event

Existing Salesforce licenses expire in July, creating a strict deadline for system change, including migration and user training.

D

Decision Criteria

The new system must be easy to implement within 6–8 weeks, reduce technical workload, offer clear ROI, and support cross-functional processes.

D

Decision Process

The team is comparing Salesforce and HubSpot based on integration, cost, and project scope, aiming to decide by June to ensure readiness by end of July.

Ways of Working
A collaborative "Done With You" methodology designed for maximum impact and knowledge transfer.

"Done With You" Implementation

SalesPlaybook adopts a collaborative approach where the client actively participates in building core marketing, sales and service processes. Our Project Lead and Implementation Consultants are available for high-touch, on-site workshops — particularly during the Concept Phase and Adoption Phase. While we handle around 80% of the technical workload, we ensure the implementation is fully tailored to your specific setup, culture, and feedback through co-creation sessions.
