HubSpot Onboarding: The Expensive Reality and a Smarter Alternative (Clone)

Thinking of buying HubSpot for your organization?

You're probably excited by the potential impact on your business.

But you may be concerned about the onboarding process. You're not alone. HubSpot is powerful, but setting it up correctly to drive actual results can be a significant financial and logistical hurdle.

HubSpot offers onboarding services. Due to high demand, these services are often "farmed out" to a HubSpot Solutions Partner. The low cost onboarding provided here gives you a weekly meeting with guided coaching. Your team will do all the work.

Alternatively, you can search for, then hire a HubSpot Solutions Partner for a more intense, hands-on experience. Partners will onboard you in their own way using their own tools and methodology. These services typically consist of: software setup, customization, automation, reports, data migration and team training. 

The Problem with Traditional HubSpot Onboarding Models

  • HubSpot's "DIY with a Coach" Approach: HubSpot's onboarding often focuses on strategy, leaving you with a to-do list without a hands-on setup. This is slow and labor intensive. If you want to go fast, this is not the way. 
  • Partner Led Onboarding - Expensive and Inconsistent: Many HubSpot Partners will charge a premium for services that may or may not be essential to your needs. These partners charge the same hourly rate for the little things and for more complex work. When the partner does all of the work, your team won't learn how to pilot the plane after the consulting team has left for another engagement.
  • Feeling Abandoned and Overwhelmed: Many HubSpot customers end up feeling frustrated.
