HubSpot Intensive Training (HIT): Onsite Onboarding Workshop

In Short

HubSpot Intensive Training (HIT) is a 1 to 2 day onsite workshop where George B. Thomas onboards your whole team to HubSpot fast. You set up the portal essentials, train every role hands-on, build your core workflows, learn reporting basics, and earn leadership and team buy-in. You leave with HubSpot live and your team actually using it, in days, not three months.

The Outcome

Your team leaves trained, bought-in, and actively using HubSpot, with the portal essentials configured and your core workflows running, in days instead of months.

Most HubSpot onboardings die a slow death. The portal gets half-configured, the burden lands on one overwhelmed admin, the rest of the team never really learns it, and three months later you're paying for software nobody trusts or uses. That's not a HubSpot problem. That's an onboarding problem. The platform feels heavy because adoption never happened, and the longer it drags, the more your team quietly slides back to spreadsheets. In a self-serve onboarding, your team learns HubSpot whenever someone finds the time, which is usually never. Onsite, George trains everyone together in the room, on your real portal, and gets the whole team using it before he flies home. We set up the essentials, train every role on what they actually touch, build the workflows that matter most, cover the reporting basics so leadership sees value early, and lock in buy-in from both ends: the leaders who need to see it's working and the humans who need to feel it helps, not hurts. The burden shouldn't land on one person, and after these two days, it doesn't. Your team leaves bought-in and productive, with a clear go-live plan for the rest.

You'll Walk Out With

Set up your HubSpot portal essentials: the properties, pipelines, and settings your team actually needs to start working day one.
Train every role hands-on, so sales, marketing, and service each learn the HubSpot that matters for their daily work.
Build your core workflows live, the handful of automations that save time and make HubSpot earn its keep immediately.
Stand up your reporting basics, so leadership sees the value early and the buy-in holds.
Write a go-live plan, so the team knows exactly what to do the Monday after George flies home.

Before we arrive: A HubSpot portal (ideally already purchased, even a brand-new one) and the team you want trained in the room. No prep required; we meet you wherever you are.

Key Takeaway

Your team leaves trained, bought-in, and using HubSpot in one to two days, with the portal essentials configured and your core workflows running, instead of a three-month onboarding slog.

The Agenda

What Your Two Days Look Like

Day 1

Day 1 · Morning

Portal Essentials + The Big Picture

We set up the foundation your team needs to start working: properties, pipelines, and the settings that matter. The readiness check drives every decision, so there's no warm-up. Leadership sees the why behind the setup so buy-in starts here.

Day 1 · Afternoon

Role-Based Training

Hands on keyboards. Sales, marketing, and service each learn the HubSpot they'll actually touch every day, on your real portal, so the training sticks because it's relevant.

Day 2

Day 2 · Morning

Core Workflows + Reporting Basics

We build the handful of workflows that save your team time immediately, then stand up the reporting basics so leadership sees value early and the buy-in holds.

Day 2 · Afternoon

Adoption + Go-Live Plan

We lock in team and leadership buy-in, answer the real questions, and write the sequenced go-live plan with owners, so your team knows exactly what to do the Monday after George flies home.

What's Included

Everything Your Team Gets

Pre-Workshop Readiness Check

We review where your portal stands before George lands, so day one starts on setup, not a discovery call.

The HIT Onboarding Workbook

Your team's filled-in guide to the portal setup, role training, and core workflows, documented as you build.

Role-Based Quick-Start Guides

A plain-language cheat sheet for each seat (sales, marketing, service) so nobody forgets what they learned by Friday.

The Go-Live Plan

A clear, sequenced plan for the rest of your rollout, with owners, so adoption keeps moving after George leaves.

30-Day Follow-Up Call

We check adoption a month out and unblock whatever stalled.

What It's Worth

Add It Up Before You Look at the Price

Each piece of a live workshop would cost real money on its own. Together, in the room, on your data, they compound into something no slide deck can match.

“HubSpot doesn't become shelfware because the software's broken. It becomes shelfware because nobody trained the team and nobody bought in. Let's fix both in a day or two, in the room.”

Is This Right For You?

Is This Workshop Right for Your Team?

This Is For You If...

You just bought HubSpot (or just started) and you want your whole team trained and using it fast, not three months from now.
You're tired of the burden landing on one person while everyone else stays on spreadsheets.
You can clear one to two days and get the right humans in the room to learn it together.
You want both leadership and the team bought-in, so HubSpot sticks instead of gathering dust.

This Isn't For You If...

You've had HubSpot running well for years and need a deep architecture rebuild (start with HubSpot Super Admin Live instead).
You want someone to quietly set it up in a corner without training your actual team.
You're not ready to get your humans in the room and learn it hands-on.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked About HubSpot Intensive Training (HIT).

How is this different from HubSpot's official onboarding?+

HubSpot's onboarding is mostly guided self-serve: calls and tasks your team works through on their own time, which often stretches to three months. HIT is onsite and hands-on. George trains your whole team in the room, on your real portal, and gets you live in a day or two. Faster, in person, and built around adoption, not a checklist.

Do we need to have bought HubSpot already?+

Ideally yes, so we can train on your real portal and build your actual workflows in the room. If you've just signed or you're in a trial, that works too. If you're still deciding, we'd rather talk that through honestly on a discovery call than sell you a workshop you're not ready for. The most value comes when there's a portal to make live.

What if our team is non-technical?+

That's exactly who this is built for. We teach in plain language, role by role, so each human only learns the HubSpot that matters for their daily work, not the whole platform at once. Non-technical teams leave the most confident, because we get them using it hands-on instead of reading documentation. No jargon, no overwhelm, just the parts they'll actually touch.

How do we get leadership buy-in?+

Buy-in is built into the two days, on purpose. Leadership sees the why behind the setup on day one, then watches the reporting basics come together on day two so the value shows up early and concrete. When leaders see HubSpot working with their own data and the team genuinely using it, buy-in stops being a sales pitch. It becomes something they witnessed.

Can you really onboard us in a day or two when HubSpot's onboarding takes months?+

Yes, because we're in the room doing it with you, not assigning homework. The slow timelines come from self-serve onboarding where the work waits on someone finding time. Onsite, we set up the essentials, train your team, and build your core workflows together in focused days. You won't have every advanced feature configured, but you'll be live and using HubSpot, with a go-live plan for the rest.

How many people should attend?+

Bring everyone who'll touch HubSpot: sales, marketing, service, and whoever owns the portal. There's no per-seat charge, so the more of your team trained together, the more adoption sticks. Onboarding the whole team at once, in the same room, is the entire point. It's how the buy-in becomes shared instead of landing on one person.

What happens after George flies home?+

You leave trained, with the essentials configured, your core workflows running, and a sequenced go-live plan with owners for the rest of the rollout. Then the 30-day follow-up call checks adoption and unblocks whatever stalled. The goal is a team still using HubSpot a month later, by habit, not a portal that quietly goes back to gathering dust.
