Case Study

Powering Growth Through Automated EV Referral Management

Challenge

Peak EV Solutions connects homeowners interested in EV charging solutions with a network of certified electricians across multiple markets. As referral volume increased, the company relied on a combination of Gravity Forms, WordPress, and HubSpot processes that required significant manual effort to manage.

The team faced several operational challenges, including inconsistent form submission data between Gravity Forms and HubSpot, manual assignment of referrals to electricians, limited visibility into referral progression, and fragmented customer communications. They also wanted to improve reporting on revenue and advertising performance while creating a more scalable process for managing leads across multiple territories.

Peak EV Solutions needed a centralized, automated system that could route referrals, improve communication with both customers and electricians, and provide leadership with accurate reporting on business performance.

Solution

No Bounds Digital designed and implemented a comprehensive HubSpot automation framework that streamlined referral management from initial form submission through electrician handoff and follow-up communication.

The project began with a detailed investigation into the integration between Gravity Forms and HubSpot to identify and resolve data discrepancies. Once form data integrity was improved, No Bounds Digital built an automated referral routing engine inside HubSpot.

The solution included:

  • Automated deal creation from incoming referral submissions.
  • Geographic routing logic that matched customers with the correct electrician based on territory and zip code.
  • Automatic assignment of electrician records to both company and deal records for complete relationship visibility.
  • Automated population of deal properties, including market designation and referral values.
  • Out-of-service workflows for customers outside supported territories.
  • Automated customer handoff communications using location-specific email templates.
  • Electrician notification workflows containing all relevant customer information.
  • Follow-up sequences that monitored referral progress and encouraged timely engagement.
  • Lead nurture workflows for prospects not yet ready to purchase EV charging solutions.
  • Enhanced email template design leveraging HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional capabilities.
  • Revenue and ROI dashboards providing visibility into sales performance and advertising effectiveness.
  • Lifecycle stage optimization to improve attribution and reporting accuracy.
  • Recommendations for spam management and alternative review collection platforms.

By consolidating these processes into HubSpot, Peak EV Solutions gained a scalable referral management system that reduced manual effort while improving consistency across customer and partner interactions.

Results

Following implementation, Peak EV Solutions transformed a largely manual referral process into an automated workflow capable of supporting future growth.

Key outcomes included:

  • Automated routing of referrals to the appropriate electrician based on service territory.
  • Elimination of numerous manual administrative steps associated with lead assignment and customer handoff.
  • Improved visibility into referral status through standardized deal stages and reporting.
  • Faster response times for both customers and electrician partners.
  • Consistent communication experiences through automated email sequences.
  • Enhanced marketing capabilities with professionally designed HubSpot email templates.
  • Improved reporting accuracy for revenue tracking, advertising spend analysis, and ROI measurement.
  • Better data hygiene through spam management strategies and lead nurturing workflows.

The resulting system enabled Peak EV Solutions to spend less time managing referrals and more time focusing on growth, customer experience, and expanding its electrician network.
