Challenge

Business consultancy struggled with email silos, preventing team access, and fragmented client/marketing data due to a lack of centralised systems. They also lacked streamlined digital processes for key business functions and needed support implementing a new HubSpot Starter license effectively for her consultancy.

Results

Business gained full visibility and collaboration by centralising communications and data in HubSpot. This led to improved efficiency through automation and integrated workflows. Business developed in-house HubSpot expertise, empowering the team to manage marketing independently, resulting in increased confidence in digital tools and faster, smarter scaling.

"Bart explained the set up for HubSpot in a calmly professional manner but still allowed us the opportunity to connect with him and feel comfortable, working with us to ensure set up was correct and all data was uploaded. Bart has been a great support for us and we look forward to more sessions with him in the future!"

    • CRM and database structure optimisation

  • ✅ Training and enablement: Both Owner and VA were trained to manage marketing automation, lead tracking, and campaign execution.
