Leveraging ARISE™ for Effective HubSpot CRM Onboarding

ARISE™, Digital BIAS's GTM methodology, is heavily designed and built to work on the HubSpot Customer Platform: Marketing, Sales, Service, and CMS hubs. One hundred fifty-one crucial KPIs, spread across the teams, finance, and people, give an immediate ROI for companies onboarding to HubSpot or optimising their go-to-market strategy.

Quick time to value

With cloud-based deployment into your CRM, there’s a minimal lag between signing your contract and getting your team up and running, so the ROI is almost immediate. Tell that to your CRO, RevOps leader and your GTM teams.

Here at Digital BIAS, we want the basics covered and the implementation fast. This allows us to spend more time customising to your particular use case. In fact, and I want to shout about this, we set your reporting up to build into the annual number; let me explain.

Robust revenue reporting

Companies have an annual revenue number that they work towards, and for startups, scaleups, and the mid-market, many C-Suite teams have to rely on multiple reports and updates from their respective GTM teams. We build a reporting system that visually communicates how close to that number you are weekly or month on month and instantly highlights underperforming areas.

That’s achieved by coupling your HubSpot with other marketing, sales, and finance tools like Xero. Then, visually tell the story so that the CFO, CRO, founders, or whoever is responsible knows where the business is. That’s powerful reporting right there.

As you can see, adopting a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system like HubSpot for digital marketing and sales can be a game-changer for businesses aiming to streamline their go-to-market strategies and financial reporting. However, transitioning to a new CRM platform can be daunting without a structured onboarding process. This is where the ARISE™ methodology, developed by Digital BIAS, comes into play, offering a comprehensive framework to support businesses in their HubSpot CRM onboarding journey.

ARISE™ HubSpot CRM onboarding: How it works

Realising the Potential of HubSpot CRM: The first step in the ARISE™ methodology involves awakening to the potential benefits of HubSpot CRM. This includes understanding how HubSpot's onboarding services, tailored to the size and complexity of your organisation, can help achieve your highest priority goals. By aligning the ARISE™ methodology with HubSpot's onboarding plan, businesses can set clear expectations and milestones for the onboarding process.

Relevance through Customised Training: HubSpot CRM offers a variety of features tailored to different aspects of marketing, sales, and service hubs. ARISE™ emphasises the importance of a cross-functional approach to CRM onboarding and sets up customised training for various departments, ensuring that each team understands how to use the features relevant to their roles effectively. This approach aligns with best practices for CRM onboarding, which advocate for tailored training programs based on specific employee roles.

Innovation through Automation: One of HubSpot CRM's key benefits is its ability to automate tedious tasks, allowing teams to focus on more strategic activities. ARISE™ encourages innovative solutions to automate the onboarding process, such as automating email sequences and integrating AI chatbots to resolve common customer queries. This improves efficiency and enhances the onboarding experience for new users.

Scalability with HubSpot's Flexible Framework: As businesses grow, their CRM needs evolve. ARISE™ and HubSpot CRM offer scalable solutions that adapt to changing business requirements. HubSpot's flexible strategy and the ability to leverage data for continuous improvement make it an ideal platform for businesses looking to scale their operations.

Equitable Access to Resources: Finally, ARISE™ ensures equitable access to onboarding resources and support. Digital BIAS’s HubSpot comprehensive onboarding services, including personalised onboarding plans and access to a wide range of training resources, ensure that all users, regardless of their technical expertise, can successfully adopt the CRM.

The ARISE™ methodology provides a structured framework that complements and integrates with HubSpot CRM onboarding services, ensuring a smooth and effective transition for businesses adopting the platform. By realising the potential of HubSpot CRM, relevance through customised training, innovation through automation, scalability, and equitable access to resources, ARISE™ supports businesses in maximising the benefits of their CRM investment. 

As a result, organisations can achieve quicker adoption, increased productivity, enhanced collaboration, and reduced errors, setting the stage for long-term success in their go-to-market strategies.
