Are you tired, restless, and irritable? Does the phrase “HubSpot workflows” provoke feelings of both longing and rage? Do you find yourself staring at nothing and wondering where the tech went wrong?
If so, you may be suffering from Workflow Disappointment.
Book an appointment with one of our HubSpot strategists, and we’ll get you started on an effective treatment plan.
All joking aside, we encounter this disappointment on a regular basis.

Marketing leaders tell us that HubSpot seems amazing. However, all that robust, versatile functionality came with complexity. They can’t shake a nagging feeling that they could be getting more out of the platform.
But how?

To maximize ROI with automations, you need three things
Radical Clarity
Understand precisely what strategy you need and what solution goes with it.
Documentation
Write out each process, including rationale, major stages, and discrete steps.
Workflows
Use the tech and tools to build the workflows and automations, according to spec.
If we don’t take the time to define the specifications, then we can’t know when we’re deviating from them, right? That precise definition, which we call radical clarity, was of critical importance during our software engineering days.
We created SRS docs (software requirements specifications), then low-fidelity wireframes, then hi-fi clickable prototypes.
Only once we had a prototype that matched the client’s documented needs and use cases would we start slinging code. Otherwise, the risk was just too high that we’d spend 100s of dev hours and $10,000s of client dollars building the wrong thing.

Believe us when we say that sucks, and we learned that the discipline required to slow down (at first) and create clarity and documentation is less painful than the alternative.
We bring that same discipline to HubSpot workflows, and we start with a top-down look at everything you’re using, or not:
General
Contacts
Contact Lists
Chat Bot
Efficiencies
Integrations
Web Connect
Marketing
Ads
Social Media
Landing Pages
Blogs
Lead Capture
Planning & Strategy
Workflows
Sales
Teams
Deals
Forecasting
Tasks
Documents
Meetings
Quotes
Sequences
Service
Tickets
Knowledge Base
Call Tracking
Playbooks
Feedback Surveys
Reporting
Analytics
Dashboards
Reports
Then, we identify the right stakeholders and interview them to better understand the core problems you’re dealing with.
Here are some of the things we hear:
“The person in this role before me didn’t document any of the workflows before he left, and I’m struggling to make heads or tails of this.”
“We know we need workflows to fully automate this part of our business. But we simply don’t have time to build them properly ourselves.”
“Our Zapier connections keep failing. We’re losing leads from our website. We really need tighter integration, like, yesterday.”
“Unfortunately, our sales, marketing, and service teams all use different apps. It’s chaotic. We’ve got to get everyone on the same platform.”
“I love HubSpot, but I’m pretty sure my team isn’t extracting all the value. Can you tell us what we’re missing?”
Once we’ve got a good read on your current implementation and problems, we create the radical clarity, documentation, and workflows, according to spec, of course. We call this our Strategic Roadmap process.
