How to organize and update our CRM for prospective/new clients.
First, create a Company
- Log into HubSpot
- Select CRM from the left nav menu
- Select Companies
- Select the button for Create company at the top right
- Enter all required information—remember, the more information you can provide, the better (if the company does not have a website, please contact the External Sales channel on Teams instead)
Then, create a Contact on the Company record
- Next to Contacts in the right panel, select + Add
- Enter contact information
- For Lead Source, select Outbound Sales
- Hit Create and now your Contact is made—the Contact should automatically be associated with the Company
Finally, create a Deal
- Next to Deals in the right panel, select +Add
- Name the Deal after the company
- Select First Presentation Scheduled as the Deal Stage
- Select Fertilizer Package for package type unless you are working with Green House on a customized package
- Add the date and time of your First Presentation
- You can skip the Amount box for now—once you have met with your client and understand how much their deal is worth, you can come back and edit this property
- The Deal Owner should be you by default—if not, then change it so you are the owner
- Hit Create and now your Deal is made—the Deal should automatically be associated with the Company and Contact
