Welcome to the Hubspot Guide

...

1. Identify Contacts - Filter by:

   1. Contact Owner is: Me

   2. Lead Status is: New

2. Research and Enrich Contact record

   1. Add LinkedIn Bio to their profile

   2. Add Job Title to Contact record

   3. Confirm shelter link in their Company record

3. Enroll in an email sequence or call to follow up

4. Only after this is done, update Lead Status: In Progress

Note: If a person has entered their phone number, they have done so voluntarily. If you can respond to their inquiry within a few minutes, then a phone call will get you straight to the discovery process and you’re underway. Be sure to log phone calls as calls in Hubspot, not Notes. This way your activity gets tracked and you can be recognized for those lightning fast reflexes!

1. Name the deal -
   <Company Name> - <Product (Adopets or ShelterBuddy)> - <Time Period>.
   “Animal Welfare League of Arlington - ShelterBuddy - 2023”

2. Add Amount - We should have enough information to ballpark an amount. We can narrow it down later. If you need a placeholder, put our average contract value in this space or multiply their adoptions by our expected income per adoption.

   1. Add the Currency, which is just their locality

3. Add all associated Contacts to the Deal record.

4. Add an Associated Contact Engage Date - This is a 🔑 key field and can only be done manually. This is the date that the initial contact reached out to us. For new Deals that’s simple: it’s the create date of the Contact. But for referrals or recurring business it’s the date that the person reached out and said “hey, we’d like to extend a year or add a feature,” and that requires human touch.

5. Estimate the Close Date (Hubspot default is the final day of the current month, but update this manually based on what you’ve learned about the deal or based on our average sales cycle length. This is important for follow up).

6. Enter the Products Subscriptions field for what product or feature set the person is evaluating.
   NOTE: Please maintain separate Deals for Adopets and ShelterBuddy opportunities. Why? Adopets recognizes variable revenue in hindsight, SB forecasts predictable revenue. Each has a different customer success cadence.

Engaging Opportunities

Under construction - This will eventually be a ‘structured routines’ guide on how to manage many Deals with a sense of personalization.
