What a freelance CRM consultant does differently

At an agency, the senior runs the sales call and a rotating team does the work. With me, that split does not exist: the person who analyzes your CRM also builds the workflows, migrates the data and answers your questions. That shortens alignment and saves the overhead you pay for at an agency.

My focus is HubSpot, but the consulting itself is tool-neutral: if Pipedrive or another system fits your processes better, I will tell you. How HubSpot-specific consulting works in detail is covered in the HubSpot consulting guide.

Tell me briefly which CRM you use and where it hurts. I will tell you honestly whether consulting is worth it - or whether an audit is enough.

The usual entry point: a CRM audit from €2,500

Most projects do not start with a new system but with taking stock. In the CRM audit I check what actually happens in your setup: from data quality and workflows to the question of whether your team really uses the CRM or works around it. You get a report with specific weak points and prioritized actions - not slides, but a working basis.

What an audit covers in detail and how to prepare for it is in the CRM audit guide.

How the CRM consulting works

From taking stock to the roadmap - structured, no never-ending project.

01
Initial call

Free, 15 to 20 minutes. We clarify where you stand, what your goal is, and whether consulting is the right next step at all.

02
Audit or requirements analysis

For an existing CRM I review setup, data and processes. For a new system I gather and document your requirements.

03
Comparison and recommendation

HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce? I compare the systems against your criteria with scoring and explain the recommendation.

04
Strategy and roadmap

Processes, data model, automation potential. After 2 to 4 weeks you have a prioritized implementation plan.

05
Handover or implementation

You receive all deliverables and decide: your team implements internally, or I take over the implementation.

If HubSpot is the choice, I can also take over the HubSpot implementation. If a system change is ahead, the typical pitfalls are covered in the CRM migration guide.
