What is HubSpot onboarding?

HubSpot onboarding is a process that guides new users through HubSpot’s suite of marketing, sales, and service tools. It typically consists of a series of steps aimed at configuring the HubSpot platform, teaching users how to use its features, and providing ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition. The ultimate goal of HubSpot onboarding is to assist users in realising their full potential to achieve their business goals.

What does HubSpot onboarding include?

HubSpot, its customer success team, or HubSpot partners who have vast platform implementation experience handle the onboarding process.

Here’s an overview of what HubSpot onboarding typically includes:

• Account setup – The first step is to create a HubSpot account and set up basic settings like company information, team permissions, and integrations.
• Data migration – HubSpot onboarding includes migrating that data to HubSpot CRM, which ensures that all historical customer information is available in the new system.
• Platform configuration – HubSpot provides tools and features, and the onboarding process entails configuring the platform to match the user’s specific business processes. Configuring may include creating custom properties, deal pipelines, and automated workflows.
• Training – Training sessions are given to the users to ensure effective use of the HubSpot platform. Training includes using the user interface, entering and updating data, creating reports, and utilising marketing, sales, and customer service.
• Integration – HubSpot is compatible with other tools and systems organisations use, including email marketing platforms, customer support software, and e-commerce platforms. Onboarding includes configuring these integrations to ensure that data flows smoothly between systems.
• Testing and launch – Before launching, the platform must undergo extensive testing to ensure it functions properly. Once tested and approved, the system is made available to the organisation’s employees.
• Ongoing support and optimisation – After the launch of the HubSpot platform, users receive ongoing support to resolve any issues or questions that may arise. The platform is constantly optimised in response to feedback and changing business needs, ensuring long-term effectiveness.

Is HubSpot onboarding mandatory?

Yes, HubSpot onboarding is mandatory; the organisation can choose to onboard directly from HubSpot or with HubSpot onboarding service providers. Too many features and nuances are overwhelming, making onboarding purchases mandatory and necessary.

HubSpot onboarding is one of the biggest challenges seen. Multiple systems are optimised, which affects sales, marketing, web designs and services. Furthermore, there are several levels of automation. Except for the initial account opening, HubSpot is a very user-friendly tool.

What are HubSpot onboarding services?

HubSpot offers onboarding services to help new users get the most out of their platform. These services provide varying degrees of direction and assistance based on the user’s requirements and preferences. HubSpot’s onboarding services provide users with the support and guidance they require to make the most of the platform and achieve their business objectives. Users can select the level of onboarding that best meets their needs and preferences, and HubSpot’s team of experts is available to assist them throughout the process.

Types of HubSpot onboarding services you can opt for:

• Basic onboarding – This self-directed option gives you access to HubSpot’s community forums, online training materials, and knowledge base. It’s ideal for users who prefer to learn at their own pace and have the time and resources to invest in self-guided learning.
• Guided onboarding – Access to a HubSpot Customer Success Manager (CSM), who offers individualised direction and support throughout the onboarding process, is included with this option. The CSM assists users with account setup, platform configuration, training, and best practices, ensuring users get the most out of HubSpot.
• Professional onboarding – Customers who need more in-depth help setting up and configuring HubSpot and prefer a more hands-on approach should select this option. Users can contact a HubSpot Implementation Specialist for more assistance with complex configuration, data migration, and tool integrations.
• Custom onboarding – This option meets the user’s specific organisational requirements. It involves a dedicated team of HubSpot specialists who work closely with the user to provide tailored advice, assistance, and training. Users with specific business processes or complex requirements with a more tailored approach can benefit from custom onboarding.

In addition to these onboarding services, HubSpot provides add-on services that users can purchase to improve their onboarding experience. These services include additional training, consulting, and technical assistance.

How long does HubSpot onboarding take?

It varies from organisation to organisation, based on the size of the organisation, its requirements and the goals. The HubSpot onboarding process can take up to 90 days if handled by a specialist. The time taken depends on the type of HubSpot onboarding your organisation chooses.
