HubSpot Sales Hub implementation with playbooks that reps actually use.
We implement HubSpot Sales Hub for B2B sales teams that want forecast discipline. Deal pipeline, sequences, meetings, quotes and playbooks, built on a data model that marketing and service can inherit. Addmark is a HubSpot Platinum Partner since 2020.

What a Sales Hub implementation with us involves.
A Sales Hub implementation with us is the setup of a pipeline engine, not of a tool. Deal stages with exit criteria, sequences aligned to your ICP, meetings and quotes embedded in the process and forecasting that is not rewritten every quarter.
Half of the Sales Hub tenants we take over have pipeline stages nobody enforces, sequences that have been opted out of and quotes that live in Word next to HubSpot. That is not a tool problem. It is a design problem. We set up Sales Hub as a system in which the sales process lives, with playbooks, deal properties and forecast reporting that can be in your leadership meeting every Friday. Adoption is half the work, so we train your AEs and SDRs on the system instead of leaving a manual behind.
What you get in your hands
- Sales Hub fully configured (pipeline, sequences, meetings, quotes)
- Deal stages with exit criteria that enforce discipline
- Sales playbooks that live in Sales Hub, not in a PDF
- Forecast reporting with weighted and commitment view
- Lead routing, lead scoring and SLAs between marketing and sales
- Adoption package with training and kick-off sessions
Four starting points, one destination.
A Sales Hub implementation looks different when you are starting from scratch than when you are coming from Salesforce or need to clean up a messy HubSpot tenant. We work across four scenarios.
Setting up Sales Hub from scratch

From Excel forecast to weighted pipeline in Sales Hub in ten weeks
A B2B organisation of 120 employees was running Sales Hub, but the forecast was being cobbled together in Excel every Friday by the Sales Director. Reps were working in their own spreadsheet tabs, deal stages were not being updated and quotes lived in Word.
In ten weeks we redesigned the deal pipeline with exit criteria per stage, built sequences aligned to the ICP profile, moved quotes and e-signatures into Sales Hub and set up a forecast dashboard with weighted and commitment view. The Sales Director no longer writes the forecast on Friday, he reads it.
Two owners on your implementation.
Sales Hub implementations with us are done by people. Carsten as CRM Architect and Carel as RevOps Lead are the owners of the engagement, from kick-off to handover.
What clients usually ask.
Honest answers to the questions we hear before almost every Sales Hub engagement.
How long does a Sales Hub implementation take? +
Greenfield six to eight weeks, reconfiguration eight to twelve weeks. Migration from Salesforce or Pipedrive typically runs twelve to sixteen weeks, because deal history and custom objects need to be mapped carefully. We work in sprints, every two weeks you see progress in a working setup.
Does this not fall under the Sales pillar? +
No. Sales with us is about sales process, pipeline strategy, playbook design and forecast discipline. Hub implementation is about data architecture, configuration and governance. That sits under CRM, alongside Marketing Hub and Service Hub. A sales process design and a Sales Hub are two separate engagements that do overlap.
Which HubSpot licence tier do we need? +
For B2B mid-market, Sales Hub Professional works in most cases. Enterprise pays off when you need playbooks with recording, custom forecast categories or multiple teams. We do not automatically recommend the highest tier, only what you will actually use.
Do you also handle adoption? +
Yes, that is a standard part of our engagement. Adoption is half the work in a Sales Hub implementation. We train AEs and SDRs on the system, co-write the first sequences and stay involved until it fits the rhythm of the team. Optionally under a RaaS retainer.
How does this connect to CRM architecture? +
The CRM architecture is the data model on which Sales Hub runs. If you do not yet have an architecture, we design it in the first phase. If you already have one, we implement on that blueprint without redesigning it.
