Inside a real-world transformation story, led by Henry Weber at HJ Web Solutions, of a healthcare-focused SaaS company that unified its sales, marketing, and service teams through strategic HubSpot implementation.
This B2B SaaS company in the healthcare tech space had all the right ingredients for growth: an innovative product, a smart team, and a growing customer base. But behind the scenes, it was operating in chaos. Each department—sales, marketing, service, and leadership—relied on a different system to manage their day-to-day operations.
Sales was using Pipedrive with no defined pipeline stages. Marketing was firing campaigns through Mailchimp. Service tickets lived in Zendesk. Calendars were managed in Calendly, live chat ran through Intercom, and reporting was largely manual or nonexistent. The tech stack was wide, but it wasn't connected—with over 10 different software platforms being used independently.
Henry recognized the urgency of the problem and stepped in to lead a strategic overhaul of their systems.
From the first week inside the company, four clear signals stood out as reasons this team needed a new approach:
Multiple Sources of Truth: Sales, marketing, and service each had their own version of customer data—none aligned, none accurate.
Manual, Error-Prone Reporting: Everything lived in spreadsheets or disconnected dashboards, making insights hard to trust.
Operational Silos: Teams worked in parallel, not together, using different systems that didn’t communicate.
Unusable Performance Data: No unified metrics, no clear KPIs, and no reliable forecasting.
Recognizing these triggers for change, Henry advised on consolidating the entire tech stack into a single platform—HubSpot. With proven experience, he was confident in architecting, implementing, and optimizing the system for the long term.
The first major initiative was mapping and migrating data from the 10–15 different platforms: Pipedrive, Mailchimp, Zendesk, Calendly, Intercom, and more.
This involved:
Cleaning, deduplicating, and scrubbing data using tools like NeverBounce, ZeroBounce and within HubSpot
Creating custom properties and custom objects tailored to the business
Architecting associations and applying labels to understand contact-deal relationships
Building deal and service pipelines with clearly defined stages and exit criteria
Remapping legacy stages from Pipedrive and establishing clean, usable HubSpot pipelines
Setting up team-specific views, dashboards, and countless leadership reports
It was a messy, complex task. Data was outdated and mismanaged. Henry tackled the issue head-on and created a solid, scalable foundation.
Marketing was disconnected. Legacy tools like Mailchimp contained messy lists—many of which came from purchased data and poor segmentation. Henry started by cleaning contact records using email validation tools, preserving sender health and re-engaging only qualified contacts.
Key milestones included:
Designing branded, reusable templates for newsletters, product updates, and events
Creating lead and customer nurture workflows based on engagement and lifecycle stages
Integrating ad platforms (Google, Meta) for end-to-end ROI tracking inside HubSpot
Incorporating webinar tools like Zoom and GoToWebinar for seamless event marketing
Centralizing social media management through HubSpot’s built-in scheduler
Replacing WordPress with Webflow and integrating HubSpot forms, CTAs, live chat, and chatbots
Creating landing pages, blogs, and conversion-focused assets across the website
Deploying smart CTAs, exit-intent banners, and routing live chat conversations via Slack and CRM workflows
This holistic marketing transformation provided the company with better control, tracking, and performance visibility than ever before.
Sales was ground zero for inefficiency. There was no pipeline, no CRM usage standards, and minimal enablement.
Henry transformed their process by:
Defining objective stages and building clear exit criteria for a brand-new sales pipeline
Implementing sales enablement and automation tools: sequences, templates, snippets, meeting links
Training reps on how to track every engagement: calls, emails, meetings, and LinkedIn interactions
Backfilling product data and enabling HubSpot Commerce features like Quotes and Invoicing
Enabling accurate and professional quoting with templates tied to deal stages
Integrating Slack alerts and automating lead routing based on territory, lifecycle, or form inputs
Building detailed dashboards and forecasting reports for the sales team and leadership
The result? Clear forecasting, faster follow-ups, more qualified leads moving through the pipeline, and higher deal win rates.
The service team needed a complete overhaul of how they tracked and supported customers.
With Henry's guidance, the company:
Created a ticketing pipeline with clearly defined categories and priorities
Built feedback loops via HubSpot forms and surveys
Developed a knowledge base for self-service support and reduced ticket volume
Integrated live chat with routing to appropriate reps and Slack notifications
Set SLAs and automated workflows to escalate based on urgency and timing
The improved service workflows dramatically reduced response time, increased satisfaction, and helped proactively prevent churn.
Revenue Operations became the glue holding sales, marketing, and service together. With unified data and reporting:
Leadership gained visibility into the entire customer journey
Marketing ROI could be tied to closed deals
Sales forecasting became accurate and actionable
Cross-functional handoffs became smoother, increasing efficiency across departments
This level of operational alignment directly contributed to increased revenue and reduced operational waste.
A key part of the transformation involved close collaboration with the development team to connect their proprietary SaaS platform—which held critical customer and usage data—with HubSpot. Henry led the planning and execution of custom API integrations that allowed for seamless data syncing and automation across systems, bridging the gap between product usage and customer engagement.
Custom APIs to sync user and account data into HubSpot
Automation triggers based on activity in the SaaS platform (e.g., onboarding workflows when accounts were created)
Mapping of product usage data to contact and company records to improve segmentation
Internal alerts for sales or support teams based on product engagement metrics
This deep integration allowed marketing, sales, and service to act on real-time product data inside HubSpot—closing the loop between platform usage and business operations.
Within months, the company:
Consolidated 10–15 tools into one unified CRM
Achieved year-over-year increases in traffic, leads generated, deals created, and deal conversions
Decreased response times and improved resolution speed in support tickets
Increased positive NPS scores and customer satisfaction
Reduced churn and retained more customers with better support visibility
Improved email performance and ad attribution
Saved dozens of hours monthly through automation and internal process streamlining
Increased revenue through better segmentation, targeting, and lifecycle nurturing
If you're a B2B SaaS startup dealing with siloed systems, manual workarounds, and inconsistent data, you're not alone. But you're also not stuck.
Start here:
Audit your current tech stack—how many tools do you use?
Identify where data is fragmented or duplicated
Bring sales, marketing, service, and operations together in one CRM
Prioritize data accuracy, clear processes, and internal alignment
The transformation isn't just about software. It's about leadership, strategy, and empowering your team with the tools they need to scale.
