1) Structuring of common processes

Business Processes and Onboarding

  • Implementation of two separate business processes for Key Account teams and field teams;
  • Build of two pipelines, with custom automations;
  • Automation of the passing of information to salespeople and CSM thanks to a Ticketing system to represent the onboarding project.

Customer Service Process

  • Redefining the data model for Tickets;
  • Enabling different ticket creation channels (Chat, Phone, Forms, Inbox).

2) Using a centralized database

In order to have a centralized database and be able to use it effectively, it was necessary to migrate the data from the tools previously used by the teams.

Migrating from Pipedrive to HubSpot

  • Exported data from Pipedrive and reprocessed it in Excel to clean everything up, re-import;
  • Used Trujay middleware to perform the migration.

Customer service migration

  • Execution of the migration thanks to HelpDeskMigration;
  • Export of tickets and cleaning;
  • Re-import to update missing data in HubSpot;
  • Mapping tickets and assigning them to the right pipelines.

Alignment of business and service data

  • Deduplicate contacts and companies
  • Attachment to the correct Deals and Tickets.

3) Training the teams on the new tools to promote adoption

  • 100% personalized training for French and international teams;
  • Detection of adjustments to be made to the settings during the discussions with the trainees.

 

 

Results

  • Data: centralized data accessible to all for better visibility on business life cycles;
  • Sales: better follow-up of opportunities on each division;
  • CSM: easier onboarding thanks to a smooth process with sales teams;
  • Customer service: up to 500 tickets processed per month and a ticket closing time divided by 4;
  • Marketing: a better email opening rate thanks to contact segmentation (24% vs. 16% previously).
