HubSpot

Hey guys, 

We use HubSpot as our CRM tool. We are a startup in New Zealand with 20 employees at the moment so I'm still paving the CS path in the business. 

Does anyone here use HubSpot to manage their Customer Health Scores? If so, I'd love to hear some ideas on different workflows or processes used to help monitor our customers. 

Do you use HubSpot entirely or other tools for your Customer Success Management? 

Any insight would be awesome!

We use HubSpot and I have been trying to figure out how to manage Customer Health Score in it or if I should look at other tools. Very curious to see what insight others have!

Following this thread!  We also use Hubspot which is great for the sales and marketing units, but I haven't been able to see how it works well for me in my customer success department.  I do like some of the meeting booking automation and the tracking of my conversations, but I am not sure how great it works for measuring kpi for this need.

Hey Sophie,

Also very keen to learn if others are doing this. We're around ~20 employees and I can't really justify a £15k-£20k CS platform just yet, but I'm very keen to start building healthscores.

Sophie Quinn

Hey Jessica, 

There are a couple of good Hubspot workflows that can help with the Health score side. Hubspot does an ok job with Customer Success but you have to put quite a bit of work in to build it to get it to suit your business. 

I'd love to hear what you have set up in terms of meeting booking automation? I'm trying to set this up at the moment. Is it a workflow you have created?

Thanks,
Sophie

Hey Liam, 

We are in the exact same boat! A CS Platform would be awesome, but when the resource isn't quite there yet it's about taking advantage of the tools you already have. 

I am going to try and implement this workflow into HubSpot, it looks like it can be powerful, it will just be a matter of mapping the properties in HubSpot to the red, yellow or green flags.

Hey Brooke, 

I also flicked this onto Liam. This HubSpot Health Score workflow can be a great place to start:

Let me know if you implement this I'd love to hear how different companies do it,

Hi Sophie,

We are much smaller (3 full-time employees), and use the same CRM, Hubspot.  I am the head of CS and we have been looking at a couple of different providers, Totango being one of them.  Our organization does video thank you/stewardship and we connected our platform through Zapier to do thank you messages when someone books a meeting/demo with us.

Being newer, I would love to connect with you or anyone on this thread around Hubspot and what you have found helpful.  

Cheers!

Hi Liam. Doesn't Hubspot have variable pricing based on company size/stage of company development/

We are doing this using a calculated or score field that adds up points based on criteria (have they signed anything new, paying invoices, csm sentiment, etc) which is our Health Score, and then have a workflow run to update our Health Index field based on the score (100-80 green, 60 - 80 yellow, below 60 red).  Some of the inputs are manual (more than I would like but we are working on that) and some are updated based on workflows.

its not the best but it has been getting us what we need until we get to the point of having a cs system.

Sophie,

We use Hubspot to manage our Customer Health Scores and I'm happy to share but let me ask you this first, are you looking for automatic tracking or some manually tracking based on your CSM's "gut" or learnings from their Customer Result Meetings (EBR/QBR's)?

Hey Emily, 

Oh that's great to hear. That would be awesome!

This will more be for automatic tracking, we need to get a good automated foundation set up at the moment as it's currently it's a manual process that is becoming difficult with scale - especially with a small team.
