About ARISE GTM:

GTM and product marketing consultancy, and HubSpot Solutions Partner specialising in AI-embedded revenue operations. We architect intelligent GTM systems where AI executes within CRM objects, not as external features. We deploy AI GTM infrastructure for B2B technology and service companies on HubSpot Professional and Enterprise.

This page covers:

  • Why AI must be embedded in CRM objects vs layered on top
  • How ARISE OS custom objects become intelligent execution engines
  • AI prospecting methodology and architecture
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) as cross-system enabler
  • Token budget management and governance best practices
  • Competitive advantages of object-level AI integration

If you're a CRO or VP Revenue:

You're being asked to forecast accurately while competitors are shifting positioning, your ICP is evolving, and your sales team is losing deals to objections you only discover in quarterly reviews.

You know you need:

  • Real-time competitive intelligence (not sales team hearsay)
  • Pipeline health metrics that predict problems before they hit your forecast
  • Win/loss patterns that actually change your GTM playbook

The typical solution: "We need Enterprise HubSpot, a RevOps team, and 6-9 months to build this."

Your reality: You're on HubSpot Professional, you can't justify £20K+/year for an Enterprise upgrade for features you don't need, and you need intelligence now, not next year.

If you're a CMO or VP Marketing:

You're scaling campaign spend while flying blind on:

  • Which campaigns are attracting ICP vs. noise
  • How competitor positioning shifts are impacting your messaging effectiveness
  • Whether your content is actually influencing pipeline or just generating MQLs that sales ignores

You know you need:

  • Dynamic ICP models that update based on actual conversion data
  • Campaign performance analysis that connects spend to closed revenue
  • Competitive intelligence that informs positioning before you launch

The typical solution: Marketing ops hires, expensive enrichment tools, dashboards that take weeks to update.

Your reality: You need insights faster than your team can manually produce them, but you can't add another SaaS tool that nobody will use.

If you're a VP Revenue Operations:

You're drowning in data but starving for insights:

  • HubSpot has everything, but synthesizing it requires manual analysis
  • Your team spends hours building reports that are outdated by the time leadership sees them
  • You know AI could help, but Enterprise HubSpot is budget-blocked and separate AI tools create integration nightmares

You know you need:

  • Automated intelligence that lives where your team already works
  • Workflows that synthesise data from multiple sources into actionable insights
  • Infrastructure that scales without adding headcount

The typical solution: "Wait for Enterprise HubSpot" or "buy standalone AI tools and figure out integration."

Your reality: You need AI-powered automation within your existing HubSpot Professional portal, and you need someone who understands RevOps infrastructure to deploy it properly.

Why AI Needs to Live Inside Your Objects, Not On Top of Them

AI features give you suggestions. Intelligent objects give you execution.

When AI is bolted onto your CRM as a separate layer, it lives outside your data model. It can read your records, generate insights, and offer recommendations. But it can't act. It can't orchestrate. It can't embed intelligence into the workflows that run your revenue motion.

The Problem with Layered AI:

Your sales team gets an AI suggestion: "This prospect fits your ICP." They still have to manually research the company. They still have to craft personalised outreach. They still have to decide which battlecard applies. They still have to determine if marketing has the right content.

Every suggestion creates work. None of it executes.

The ARISE OS Approach:

Tech-Enabled Efficiency

AI doesn't suggest competitive intelligence; it generates it, structures it, and automatically distributes it to your Competitive Intelligence object.

AI doesn't recommend personalisation; it analyses company data, synthesises GTM context, calculates persona-specific messaging, and queues personalised outreach sequences ready to send.

AI doesn't propose strategy; it builds GTM Strategy records with positioning, value props, and persona-mapped messaging based on your product and sales data.

Intelligence embedded at the object level means your GTM system thinks, then acts. Not the other way around.

How ARISE OS Objects Become Intelligent

ARISE OS is built on custom HubSpot objects: Competitive Intelligence, Digital Battlecards, Customer Intelligence, and GTM Strategy. Each object has AI workflows embedded directly into its data model.
 
Here's what that looks like in practice:

Competitive Intelligence Object

Standard approach: Sales rep manually researches competitor, pastes notes into a text field.

ARISE OS approach:

When a competitor domain is entered, AI workflows automatically:

  • Run a custom set of questions through AI to the internet (company domain, name, industry as inputs)
  • Pull competitive positioning, product details, pricing models, customer segments
  • Analyse strengths, weaknesses, market perception
  • Distribute structured data into the Competitive Intelligence record
  • Generate insight summary with strategic implications

Result: Your team gets competitive intelligence that updates itself, not static notes that go stale.

Digital Battlecards Object

Standard approach: Marketing creates a static PDF battlecard that lives in a Google Drive folder no one can find.

ARISE OS approach:

Digital Battlecards pull data FROM Competitive Intelligence objects and combine it with your GTM Strategy:

  • Automated objection handling based on competitor positioning
  • Dynamic feature comparisons that update as competitor data changes
  • Persona-specific talk tracks (what works for a VP vs a CEO)
  • Proof points pulled from similar customer wins in your CRM

Result: Sales reps get contextual battlecards inside active deals, not outdated PDFs.

GTM Strategy Object

Standard approach: Strategy lives in PowerPoint decks and Notion docs that no one references.

ARISE OS approach:

Your product and sales data builds executable GTM Strategy records:

  • Storytelling frameworks based on customer pain points from closed deals
  • Positioning statements derived from win/loss analysis
  • Messaging architecture mapped to buyer journey stages
  • Value propositions with proof points from actual customer outcomes
  • Persona communication preferences (how each role expects to be engaged)

Result: Strategy isn't a document. It's an object that informs every AI workflow across your GTM motion.

Team Puzzle

The Architecture Principle:

Objects don't store AI outputs. They execute AI workflows. Data flows in, intelligence flows through, execution flows out.

The AI Prospecting Layer: Intelligent Outbound at Scale

Most prospecting automation sends the same templated email to everyone. ARISE GTM's AI Prospecting Layer calculates what problems each target company faces, then personalises how you communicate based on persona and context.

How It Works (Top-Line):

Step 1: Intelligence Gathering

AI workflows pull company data (firmographics, technographics, hiring signals) and synthesise it with your GTM Strategy object to understand:

  • What GTM problems this company likely faces
  • Which of your value propositions maps to their situation
  • What proof points would resonate based on similar customers

Step 2: Persona-Specific Communication

The layer applies MEDDIC + your value proposition to determine:

  • How each persona expects to be reached (diagnostic email for VP/Heads, strategic for CXOs)
  • What messaging angle fits their role and context
  • Which content assets prove your expertise for their specific challenge

Step 3: Scoring & Prioritisation

Every prospect gets scored: Hot, Warm, or Nurture based on:

  • ICP fit against GTM Strategy criteria
  • Timing signals (hiring, funding, tech stack changes)
  • Content readiness (does marketing have the assets to support this play?)
svg (28)
svg_ (4)

Step 4: Content Strategy Alignment

AI analyses your existing content library and:

  • Identifies gaps (you're targeting this ICP but lack proof point content)
  • Suggests new content with SEO strategy to fill gaps
  • Aligns sales outbound with marketing content calendar

Result: Sales and marketing operate from the same intelligence. ABM strategy writes itself.

The Methodology:

This isn't a feature. It's a framework. The AI Prospecting Layer uses native HubSpot properties, custom properties, and related objects to build executable outbound strategy that scales without losing personalisation.

Discover how to achieve email personalisation at scale

We created a data analysis process: ICP, personas, signals, strategy analysis, MEDDIC, and value proposition to curate messaging at the company/persona level.

MCP: The Cross-System Intelligence Enabler

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is how our AI agents access data across HubSpot, Customer.io, and external sources without expensive, fragile API integrations.

The Challenge:

Traditional integrations are point-to-point. Want to pull LinkedIn data into HubSpot, then use it to personalise Customer.io campaigns, then feed it back to competitive analysis? You're building three separate integrations, managing three sets of credentials, and hoping nothing breaks.

The MCP Solution:

MCP is a standardised protocol that lets AI workflows query data across systems through a single, secure interface.

svg (11)
Ai_Learning

How ARISE GTM Uses MCP:

We connect to HubSpot's official MCP server, which means:

  • No custom API integration needed
  • No rate limit workarounds
  • No authentication complexity
  • Direct access to CRM objects, properties, and associations

We build custom prompts and queries that:

  • Synthesise data across contacts, companies, deals, and custom objects
  • Pull cross-system context (Customer.io engagement + HubSpot pipeline + competitive intel)
  • Surface insights that only exist when you connect the dots between systems

Why This Matters:

Better customer understanding → higher win rates. Faster data synthesis → shorter deal cycles. Cross-system intelligence → expansion opportunities no one else sees.

MCP isn't just a technical implementation. It's a competitive moat.

Knit your GTM together at scale with HubSpot's MCP server connection

We use custom AI Agents with HubSpot's MCP server connection to access multi-system datasets and analyse them against your current GTM performance to course correct.

Token Budget Management + Best Practice Governance

AI workflows cost money. Every API call to OpenAI, Claude, or other LLMs consumes tokens. Without governance, costs spiral, and ROI disappears.

How ARISE OS Manages AI Spend:

Token Usage Calculation

Every AI-powered workflow calculates token consumption before execution:

  • Competitive intelligence enrichment: ~2,000 tokens per company
  • Personalised email generation: ~800 tokens per prospect
  • Strategy synthesis: ~5,000 tokens per GTM Strategy record

We show you exactly what each workflow costs and let you set budgets by workflow type.

svg (11)

Best Practice Governance

Workflow-Level Controls:

  • Set maximum token spend per day/week/month per workflow
  • Prioritise high-value workflows (hot prospects get AI personalisation, nurture gets templates)
  • Auto-pause workflows that exceed budget thresholds

Optimisation Built In:

  • Caching for repeated queries (don't re-analyse the same competitor 50 times)
  • Batch processing where possible (analyze 10 prospects in one call vs 10 separate calls)
  • Smart triggers (only run enrichment when new data appears, not on every record update)

Transparency: Monthly reporting shows:

  • Token consumption by workflow type
  • Cost per outcome (cost per competitive intel record, cost per personalized email sent)
  • ROI analysis (token spend vs pipeline generated, deals closed, expansion revenue)

The Result:

You know exactly what AI costs, what it produces, and whether it's worth it. No surprise bills. No runaway spend. Just intelligent resource allocation.

Great AI strategy requires complete token management

When you build a custom AI GTM strategy, it isn't always an off-the-shelf model that gives you the best results. You need a partner who can help control token spend with popular LLMs.

What Intelligent Objects Enable

When AI lives inside your operating system, not layered on top, your GTM motion changes fundamentally.
 
Competitive Advantages You Gain:
Faster time to insight

Your competitive intelligence updates itself. Your battlecards stay current. Your team operates on fresh data, not stale notes from last quarter.

Personalisation without manual work

AI analyses every prospect, synthesises relevant context, and generates persona-specific outreach. Your sales team sends personalised emails at scale.

Sales + marketing alignment

Both teams work from the same GTM Strategy objects. Marketing sees content gaps before sales ask. Sales sees which content performs before pitching.

Cross-System Intelligence

MCP connects data across HubSpot, Customer.io, and external sources. You see patterns and opportunities that only emerge when systems talk to each other.

Expansion plays you'd otherwise miss

Customer Intelligence objects surface expansion signals by synthesising product usage, engagement data, and market context. You know which accounts are ready to grow before they tell you.

Controlled AI spend

Token budgets and governance mean you invest in AI that produces ROI, not AI for AI's sake. Every dollar spent is tracked, measured, and optimised.

Execution speed

Objects that execute, not just suggest, mean your GTM motion moves faster. Less time discussing what to do, more time doing it.

This Is Why You Choose ARISE GTM

You don't need another AI tool. You need an intelligent operating system.

What Makes ARISE GTM Different:

We're GTM consultants first, AI implementers second

We understand the revenue problems AI should solve. We don't implement AI because it's trendy, we implement it because it accelerates your GTM motion.

We build on HubSpot Professional

You don't always need Enterprise HubSpot to get AI-enabled GTM. Some of our architecture works on the Professional tier, saving you up to £20,000+ per year while delivering enterprise-grade capability.

We embed intelligence, we don't bolt it on

AI features fade when vendors change roadmaps. Intelligent objects persist because they're built into your data model, not dependent on someone else's platform.

We use open standards (MCP)

Our custom AI agents connect via Model Context Protocol, the emerging standard for AI-to-system communication. 

We manage costs, not just capabilities

Token budgets, workflow optimisation, and ROI transparency. You know what AI costs and what it produces, month one, month twelve, and beyond.

We've done this before

We deploy AI GTM systems for B2B technology companies on HubSpot. We know where AI adds value and where it wastes money. We know which workflows produce ROI and which ones look impressive in demos but fail in production.

You get an operating system, not a project

ARISE OS isn't a six-month implementation that goes stale. It's a living system that evolves with your GTM motion. New objects, new workflows, new intelligence, as your business changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from HubSpot's AI features or other AI tools?

HubSpot's Breeze AI and other tools provide suggestions and content assistance. ARISE OS embeds AI into custom objects that execute workflows autonomously. The difference: features suggest, objects execute.

Do I need HubSpot Enterprise for this?

In some part, yes. ARISE OS works on HubSpot Professional. We use a sophisticated workflow architecture and MCP connections that operate within Professional-tier capabilities; however, custom objects require at least one enterprise seat.

What's Model Context Protocol (MCP) and why does it matter?

MCP is an open standard (developed by Anthropic, adopted by HubSpot) that enables AI workflows to access data across systems through a standardised interface. It eliminates custom integrations, reduces complexity, and enables cross-system intelligence that creates a competitive advantage.

How do you control AI costs?

Every AI workflow calculates token consumption. We set budgets at the workflow level, prioritise high-value use cases, implement caching and batch processing, and provide monthly reporting showing cost per outcome and ROI by workflow type.

Can you integrate with systems beyond HubSpot and Customer.io?

Yes. MCP enables connections to any system with an MCP server (growing list) or standard APIs. Common integrations: Salesforce, Apollo.io, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong, Outreach, Salesloft and SEMRush.

How long until we see results?

AI-powered competitive intelligence is active by week 2. AI Prospecting Layer operational by week 4. Full intelligent object execution by week 6. Performance optimisation is ongoing from month 2 forward.

What if our GTM strategy isn't documented?

We help you build it. Part of our deployment process includes GTM Strategy workshops that codify your positioning, messaging, value props, and persona communication into executable Strategy objects.

Do we need technical resources to manage this?

No. ARISE OS runs on HubSpot workflows you control. We provide training, documentation, and ongoing optimisation. Your team operates the system, we ensure it stays intelligent. An annual support contract is required.

How do you ensure data security with MCP connections?

All MCP connections use OAuth 2.0 authentication, encrypted data transmission (TLS 1.3), and scoped permissions (you control what data each workflow can access). We're SOC-2 compliant and maintain enterprise-grade security across all implementations.

What happens when HubSpot or OpenAI changes their platforms?

We monitor platform changes and proactively update workflows. Because we use open standards (MCP) and a modular architecture, platform changes rarely require rebuilding; only configuration updates are needed. This is why you will need an annual support contract.
