HubSpot Integration with Salesforce? Here's How to Approach It.
As a marketer, you are constantly looking for ways to streamline your processes and optimize your customer relationships. One way to do this is by using the right marketing automation systems and a powerful CRM. A combination that is often seen in this regard is the integration between HubSpot and Salesforce. A seamless connection between both systems helps increase your insights, work more efficiently, and better respond to the needs of your target audience.
Why choose a HubSpot and Salesforce integration?
HubSpot and Salesforce are both leading platforms that offer powerful tools for marketing, sales, and customer relationship management. By integrating them, you can leverage the unique benefits of each platform and gain a comprehensive view of your customers and prospects. If your organization already uses Salesforce but you want to harness the benefits of HubSpot to elevate your marketing efforts, you can achieve that by linking the platforms together.
How do you approach the HubSpot integration with Salesforce?
Integrating HubSpot with Salesforce may seem like a complex process, but with the right approach and support, you can successfully implement it. Here are four key steps to get you started:
Step 1: Integration Plan combined with a Field Mapping
Before embarking on integration, it's important to define clear objectives. What do you aim to achieve with the integration? Which processes do you want to streamline? Which fields do you want to synchronize? Whose platform's data takes precedence? By articulating your objectives clearly, you can work more purposefully during the integration process and identify and address challenges early on.
It's crucial to involve the right people from the outset of this process. This ensures that all departments are included and nothing is overlooked. This not only facilitates a well-functioning integration but also builds support within the organization.
Step 2: Platform configuration
Make sure that both your HubSpot and Salesforce accounts are correctly configured before starting the integration. This includes creating the necessary fields, setting up the required permissions, and defining the workflows you want to automate.
Step 3: Data synchronization
One of the most critical aspects of integration is ensuring accurate and consistent synchronization of data between HubSpot and Salesforce. This involves matching fields, setting up synchronization to and from HubSpot, and regularly monitoring data integrity.
This is also crucial for your data quality. It's essential to have data you can trust. Unreliable data is naturally less valuable than accurate data.
Step 4: Training and support
Ensure that your team is adequately trained in using the integrated systems. For instance, Vet Digital's team provides training and support after integration. This enables you to make optimal use of the integration between platforms post-implementation.
