That's exactly what ongoing HubSpot consulting fixes. ## How We Help HubSpot consulting gives your team access to a Platinum Partner expert who knows your portal, your goals, and your team. We provide strategic guidance, portal optimization, and hands-on support without the overhead of a full-time specialist. Sidekick's consulting engagements start with a portal audit to understand what's working, what's broken, and what's costing you money. From there, we build a prioritized optimization plan and work through it together. Some months we're redesigning workflows. Other months we're building reports or cleaning up data. The work follows what matters most, not a rigid playbook. With the 40+ certifications George has earned and the team's 124+ combined, your humans get advice from practitioners who've seen every kind of HubSpot challenge. We're not reading the knowledge base to answer your questions. We've solved these problems before. - **Your Portal, Deeply Understood:** We learn your portal's history, configuration, and quirks so every recommendation is specific, not generic. - **Strategic And Tactical:** We handle both: the big-picture strategy and the hands-on configuration work to execute it. - **Priority-Driven Work:** Every engagement focuses on the highest-impact work first, not a checklist of nice-to-haves. - **Platinum Partner Access:** You get a team with 124+ certifications, direct HubSpot partner channel access, and years of platform experience. ## What's Included - **Portal Audit Report:** A prioritized assessment of your portal's health covering workflows, properties, data quality, and reporting. - **Optimization Roadmap:** A quarterly plan of recommended improvements ranked by business impact. - **Regular Strategy Sessions:** Bi-weekly or weekly live sessions, depending on your tier, to review performance, plan next steps, and address emerging questions. - **Workflow Optimization:** Audit and redesign of workflows to eliminate redundancy and improve performance. - **Reporting Dashboard Design:** Custom dashboards built to answer your leadership team's specific questions. - **Data Hygiene Plan:** A systematic approach to cleaning, deduplicating, and maintaining your contact and company data. - **Slack Access:** Direct access to your consulting team for quick questions between sessions. - **Quarterly Review:** A structured review of progress, ROI, and priorities for the next quarter. ## From First Call To Results 1. **Discovery:** We audit your portal, review your goals, and identify the highest-impact opportunities for improvement. 2. **Optimization Roadmap:** We build a prioritized plan of improvements and present it with clear timelines and expected impact. 3. **Ongoing Execution:** We work through the roadmap in monthly cycles, handling strategy, configuration, and training as needed. 4. **Quarterly Review:** Every quarter we review progress, measure results, and adjust the roadmap based on what your business needs next. ## Is HubSpot Consulting Right For You? ### This Is For You If - You have HubSpot running but aren't confident it's set up for maximum ROI. - Your portal has grown organically and needs an expert eye to clean it up. - You don't have a full-time HubSpot specialist on staff. - Your leadership team is asking hard questions about HubSpot ROI and you need better answers. - You want ongoing guidance, not just a one-time project. ### This Isn't For You If - You need a one-time portal audit. Check out our HubSpot Portal Audit service. - You haven't purchased HubSpot yet. We can help evaluate, but consulting is for existing portals. - You need someone to execute all the work with no internal involvement. Consulting is a partnership. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What does HubSpot consulting include? Consulting includes portal audits, workflow optimization, reporting strategy, data hygiene, bi-weekly or weekly strategy sessions, and direct Slack access. The specific work is driven by your priorities and adjusted quarterly. ### How long is a consulting engagement? Most consulting clients work with us on a quarterly basis with the option to renew. Some start with a 90-day engagement and extend to ongoing. There's no long-term lock-in. ### How much does HubSpot consulting cost? Monthly retainers range from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on scope, portal complexity, and hours needed. We scope everything on a free strategy call. ### How is consulting different from training?
