The challenge

Owning HubSpot wasn't the same as getting value from it

Core problem

CWC needed to turn HubSpot from a new, under-optimised platform (began on Marketing and Sales Starter tools) into a practical, scalable system their team could actually use for sales, customer management, reporting and growth - with mixed CRM maturity and limited visibility into where leads were leaking.

An under-used platform

The business owned HubSpot but needed onboarding and guidance to get real operational value from it, not just licence access.

Mixed CRM maturity

Team members ranged from novice to experienced, and needed training, practical support and ongoing advice to adopt HubSpot confidently.

Limited visibility & lead leakage

Incomplete visibility across marketing, lead capture, lifecycle and sales follow-up made it hard to see where leads were leaking and revenue was being lost.

One-off vs ongoing

CWC needed continuous optimisation across strategy, reporting, data, content and process - not a single setup that stood still.

The solution

A partnership that evolved, phase by phase

Lupo acted as both implementation partner and long-term enablement partner - first helping CWC onboard and structure HubSpot correctly, then staying alongside the team as the scope grew into content, AI and creative.

The client's voice

In their words

The term 'CRM' sends shivers down most salespeople's spine, especially an old dog like me. Quite frankly, I would have drowned in the complexity of HubSpot - but not so. With the continual guidance and support from Glenn at Lupo Digital, the transformation from old school to new has been smooth. Cheers Glenn, you are part of the CWC team.
