The World's Leading AI Company integrates HubSpot & Salesforce for enterprise lead management.
How New Breed's integration of HubSpot, Salesforce, and ZoomInfo transformed AI Company's revenue operations, workflow efficiency, and market agility.
The world's leading AI company was confronted with the critical challenge of scaling their operations to keep up with their rapid growth and the sudden influx of leads. To develop a highly adaptable and efficient RevOps strategy, they partnered with New Breed, an Elite HubSpot Solutions Partner, to integrate their complex tech stack for seamless lead management and align teams around revenue-driven results.
CHALLENGES
Disjointed tech stack impeding efficient lead management.
As the AI Company soared to the forefront of AI innovation, they found themselves at a crucial crossroads. Their operational systems, although strong, were in dire need of catching up with their rapid growth and the influx of leads. This misalignment posed a significant risk to their market standing and their potential for future expansion.
Escalating Lead Volume and Pipeline Growth
The AI Company's rapid growth brought the challenge of managing escalating lead volumes. The existing pipeline structure needed refinement, lacking effective segmentation to differentiate between sales-led and product-led leads, as well as enterprise companies, to enable scaling sales and marketing operations.
Limited Utilization of HubSpot's Tools
The AI Company's initial engagement with HubSpot was limited to basic emails and minimal lead tracking. This limited approach missed out on the platform’s extensive potential for nurturing leads and engaging customers.
Complex Salesforce Integration Challenges
The integration with Salesforce (SFDC) added complexity and significant hurdles due to intricate configuration and integration with other tools. This resulted in a disjointed lead management process for handling large volumes of leads and a pressing need for a unified strategy to categorize and prioritize leads, leading to growing inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
