How Sonar Implemented HubSpot, to Create a Fully Trackable Digital Customer Journey
Challenge
Sonar, a market leading customer research platform, already had an existing CRM system in place for its sales department. But Sonar wanted a way to combine the knowledge within the CRM with a marketing automation system, that could help them stitch together their customer journey, from the first point of contact until onboarding of the customer. Given that they already had an existing CRM, the new solution had to be easy to integrate, maintain and develop following initial implementation.
When choosing the right marketing automation platform, there are a few factors that are key:
Ease of use
Implementation speed
Integration with other systems
Platform development/improvement
Budget
In addition, Sonar needed to combine all its marketing efforts (ads, emails, landing pages, and forms) into one holistic solution. This demand for an all-inclusive system pointed towards Hubspot.
HubSpot benefits
Automatic data sync for unhindered data exchange: HubSpot has built-in integration for Sonar’s existing CRM, which means data can sync unhindered between the two systems
No coding required means quick and easy to implement: HubSpot is a low code application, which means it can be set up without needing to code or know a specific technical language making HubSpot quick and easy to implement
Constant platform improvement and competitive price: As a platform, HubSpot is evolving and improving constantly and when the budget looks better compared to the competition, HubSpot comes out on top
Results: In just one month Sunrise and Sonar implemented HubSpot together, integrating HubSpot with Sonar’s existing CRM and setting up Sonar’s marketing funnel.
