Challenge
Inventionland Education was managing lead generation, sales tracking, forecasting, and reporting through a collection of manual spreadsheets and disconnected processes. As the organization expanded its outreach efforts, the team needed a more scalable and reliable way to manage inbound leads, monitor sales activity, and improve forecasting visibility.
The company had recently adopted HubSpot Sales Hub but required significant customization to align the platform with its existing workflows. Different stakeholders across the organization also required unique reporting views and dashboards tailored to their responsibilities, making standardized reporting difficult.
Additionally, the team needed a better method for tracking lead sources, conference-driven opportunities, outbound campaign performance, and deal progression without relying on manually maintained spreadsheets.
Solution
No Bounds Digital partnered with Inventionland Education to transform its sales operations into a centralized, scalable HubSpot system built specifically around the organization’s existing sales process and reporting needs.
The engagement included a full Sales Hub customization initiative focused on lead capture, pipeline visibility, reporting automation, and operational efficiency.
Key deliverables included:
- Creation of custom HubSpot forms with hidden tracking fields to properly attribute lead sources and conference-generated opportunities.
- Optimization of Formcraft integrations to improve lead capture consistency and reporting accuracy.
- Development of custom dashboards for sales activity, campaign performance, deal forecasting, and management reporting.
- Replication and enhancement of the organization’s existing spreadsheet-based reporting processes inside HubSpot.
- Creation of two distinct sales pipelines tailored to the reporting and workflow needs of multiple stakeholders.
- Development of custom deal stages and reporting properties to improve pipeline visibility and forecasting accuracy.
- Migration of historical deal and pipeline information from spreadsheets into HubSpot while maintaining data integrity.
- Creation of custom properties across contacts, companies, and deals to support advanced segmentation and operational reporting.
- Replacement of manually maintained lead lists with dynamic HubSpot lists and reporting structures.
- Team training to empower internal staff to independently create forms and manage future reporting needs.
Throughout the project, No Bounds Digital focused on maintaining the familiarity of the team’s existing processes while improving usability, automation, and visibility within HubSpot.
