HubSpot Onboarding FAQs

Explore answers to your most commonly asked questions.

How much does HubSpot cost?

HubSpot’s customer platform contains a complete set of marketing, sales, occupancy management, and customer support tools. Pricing depends on what functions you need and how many users you have. 

HubSpot is competitively priced compared to other senior living CRMs. We are happy to provide a recommendation on what functionality would benefit your team the most, but feel free to explore pricing on your own if you’d find that helpful.

What is the difference between HubSpot onboarding with SmartBug vs. with HubSpot’s professional services team?

The key difference between the two onboarding styles is that SmartBug’s offers full onboarding, training, and configuration based on the package you choose. HubSpot also has multiple offerings, but many are DIY with general guidance for you to configure on your own.

What makes SmartBug the best choice for onboarding?

We have more than 300 team members, more than 10 of whom are certified HubSpot trainers. Our team holds 1,200+ professional certifications, including 100 percent of HubSpot’s advanced accreditations.

My team is new to HubSpot. Do you offer training?

Yes! As part of the initial onboarding and setup, our team of HubSpot experts will also conduct a training session to familiarize your team with HubSpot. Once your integration is complete, we offer ongoing support as a chance to answer questions, troubleshoot any concerns, and identify other opportunities for optimization.

How long does a typical onboarding take?

The typical onboarding process usually takes between 4 to 12 weeks. During this period, our dedicated team works closely with you to ensure a smooth transition, provide the necessary training, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Our goal is to tailor the onboarding experience to your unique requirements while ensuring that you are fully equipped to make the most of our offerings.

What if I want more help than what is listed in a package?

Not a problem! We can tailor our work to exactly what you need. If you need a little more, we can add some time to offer additional support in specific areas. Or we can always put together a totally custom plan specific to your needs and goals.

HubSpot Implementation Client Success Stories

Axians

SmartBug® Jump-Starts Inbound and Sales for a Global IT Solutions Company

Axians contacted SmartBug® as a brand-new HubSpot client. It had solid web traffic streaming in, but the Axians team needed a partner to help implement HubSpot, and execute an inbound marketing strategy to qualify and convert leads. At the same time, Axians’ sales team was intrigued by the sales automation potential in HubSpot’s Sales Hub, but needed the proper guidance to utilize everything the platform has to offer.
