Data
System
To address IM Group’s challenges and position HubSpot as their top CRM solution, we prioritised a data-driven approach. We analysed existing proposals from Dynamics and Salesforce to identify gaps and opportunities unique to HubSpot, while our HubSpot experts mapped-out IM Group’s specific automotive use cases.
This data-driven process allowed us to demonstrate HubSpot’s adaptability in not only addressing the automotive industry’s complex demands, but also handling IM Group’s multiple brands and territories.
Story
System
Our next step involved translating our Data System findings into clear and compelling sessions tailored to IM Group’s needs. We conducted multiple technical demonstrations to showcase HubSpot’s capabilities, using real-world examples from the automotive sector.
Developing a tailored communication strategy followed, with the goal of aligning IM Group’s teams with the benefits of a HubSpot transition. By clearly addressing IM Group’s pain points, we demonstrated the superiority of our proposed solution, driving alignment and buy-in across stakeholders.
Engagement
System
To ensure a smooth CRM transition, we deployed a comprehensive engagement strategy that involved multiple elements. We assembled a rapid-response team including HubSpot experts, solution architects, project managers, and technical specialists to handle the project’s complexity. This led to delivering a risk-free initial phase, allowing IM Group to ‘test the waters’ without financial commitment, building trust and confidence in our approach.
This ensured clarity, minimised risk, and delivered tangible results at every stage. We also delivered in-depth HubSpot training for IM Group’s teams, ensuring they could maximise the potential of their new platform.
