Challenge
The team at Yellowstone Landscape was managing its sales and operational processes through disparate tools, including Salesforce, Excel, Dynamics, and HubSpot. Only 15% of its sales team was using a CRM tool.
“Yellowstone needed a single approach to unify its sales team around a common platform,” said Mark McCarthy, Principal HubSpot Consultant and Team Lead for Mole Street and part of the team supporting Yellowstone. “All of the sales processes and reporting had to be consolidated and aligned to support new growth goals.”
Yellowstone recognized that it would be critical to work with a partner skilled in several key areas: complex CRM integrations – specifically involving HubSpot – sales process standardization, user experience, and user adoption. That partner was Mole Street, who brought maturity in software consulting, a track record of success, and a plan to implement HubSpot as the CRM software solution.
