Salesforce and HubSpot Integration

Written by Deepak Garg | March 13, 2025

The company had been using HubSpot for its inbound marketing efforts and Salesforce for its sales team, but needed better synchronization between marketing and sales data. They sought an integration solution to align their customer data, improve lead tracking, and enhance sales reporting.

Problem:

A mid-sized e-commerce company faced challenges with managing its customer data across two separate platforms—Salesforce for sales and HubSpot for marketing. Their sales team struggled to access up-to-date marketing insights, and the marketing team had limited visibility into the sales pipeline. This led to disconnected workflows, inefficient lead nurturing, and missed opportunities for cross-team collaboration, resulting in lost revenue and ineffective communication with prospects. So, there create some major problems -

  • Disconnected platforms: Salesforce for sales and HubSpot for marketing.
  • Sales team lacked visibility into marketing data and vice versa.
  • Inefficient workflows between sales and marketing teams.
  • Missed opportunities and lost revenue due to lack of coordination.

Solution:

The company decided to integrate HubSpot with Salesforce to synchronize their data and streamline their processes. Using HubSpot’s native Salesforce integration, the company was able to create a seamless flow of information between the two platforms. Contacts, deals, and activities were synced automatically, allowing sales reps to access marketing insights directly within Salesforce, while marketers could view the sales pipeline and adjust campaigns accordingly. They also set up automated workflows in both platforms to ensure lead nurturing, follow-ups, and reporting were aligned across teams-

  • Enabled sales reps to access marketing insights within Salesforce.

The integration significantly improved collaboration between the sales and marketing teams.

Lead conversion rates increased by 30%, and the company saw a 20% reduction in manual data entry. The automation of workflows and improved visibility led to better customer engagement, faster follow-ups, and more accurate reporting. Ultimately, the integration helped the company drive more revenue by aligning marketing efforts with the sales process -

  • Improved collaboration between sales and marketing teams.

By streamlining the flow of data between the two platforms, they were able to align sales and marketing efforts, automate processes, and gain a clearer picture of their customer journey. The result was increased lead conversion, greater operational efficiency, and enhanced collaboration, all of which contributed to the company’s growth. This integration not only improved productivity but also strengthened the company’s ability to scale in the future.
