# HubSpot Consultant: What Does a Consultant Do and How Do You Choose the Right One?

![Picture of Emelie](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/a7bfbbcaf0bc52ffebec008d63b2902f) By  [Emelie](https://leadlabs.se/en/insights/author/emelie)  ·   2 minute read

A HubSpot consultant helps companies implement, improve and use HubSpot in their day-to-day work. The assignment can cover CRM structure, marketing automation, sales processes, integrations, reporting and training.

The right consultant starts with how your business works: which customers you want to reach, how your sales process runs and what your team needs to track. HubSpot is then adapted to the way you work. If you need help right away, read more about how we work as a [HubSpot consultant for B2B](https://leadlabs.se/en/hubspot?hsLang=en).

## When do you need a HubSpot consultant?

You may need help both when you introduce HubSpot and when you want to improve an existing portal. Some situations where a review can be valuable:

- Marketing hands over leads that sales doesn't know how to prioritise.
- Contacts are missing owners or have unclear statuses.
- Workflows exist, but nobody has an overview of what they do.
- Reports show different numbers and the team lacks shared definitions.
- Employees work in spreadsheets because the CRM feels cumbersome.
- You want to connect HubSpot with other systems.

Start by describing the problem in concrete terms. “We need better automation” is hard to scope. “Every demo request should get an assigned sales rep and a follow-up task” gives a clear assignment.

## What can a HubSpot consultant help with?

| Area | Example of work |
| --- | --- |
| Implementation | Structure the CRM, import data and configure pipelines |
| Lead management | Define Lifecycle Stages, lead status, ownership and handover |
| Automation | Build workflows for follow-up, tasks and data quality |
| Integrations | Connect systems and decide how information should be updated |
| Reporting | Create shared definitions and dashboards |
| Training | Help users work in the system and maintain the solution |

Which solutions are possible depends on your HubSpot subscriptions, permissions and integrations, among other things. Ask the consultant to check the prerequisites before you decide on the scope.

## How to choose the right HubSpot consultant

### 1. Start from your problem

An implementation, a data migration and ongoing campaign work require different experience. Ask for examples similar to your assignment and ask which part the consultant was personally responsible for.

### 2. Ask for a concrete way of working

What will be mapped? What will be built? How is the solution tested? Who approves changes?

A clear plan describes deliverables, responsibilities, dependencies and how you know the work is done.

### 3. Check how the team gets involved

A technically working solution also needs to work for the users. Ask how the consultant involves marketing, sales and customer service, and what documentation and training you get.

### 4. Decide how the impact will be measured

Choose metrics that relate to the problem. If leads are left untouched, you can for example track the time to first contact and the share of contacts with an assigned owner.

## What does a HubSpot consultant cost?

The cost depends on the scope of the assignment, the quality of your data, the complexity of the integrations and how much work your own team can do.

Ask for a quote that separates consulting work from HubSpot licences and any third-party tools. Also check whether testing, project management, documentation and training are included.

Compare quotes based on what will be delivered and what responsibility the consultant takes. An hourly rate doesn't tell you how much work is needed to solve the problem.

## Start with a review if you already have HubSpot

If you're unsure what needs improving, a portal review can be a first step. It should look at data quality, CRM structure, pipelines, workflows and reporting.

Ask for a prioritised action list where each suggestion describes the problem, the recommended change and any dependencies. That gives you a basis for deciding what to do first.
