CRM and sales automation consultancy
Integrate CRM, analytics and sales funnel automation
Mid-sized companies share the same frustration: the CRM is in place, marketing automation tools are licensed and analytics is set up — but the data does not flow between them. Marketing generates leads that sales never works, sales closes deals without feeding metrics back into the demand engine, and leadership has no unified funnel they can trust to make investment decisions.
At HIKE & FOXTER we treat marketing automation and CRM consultancy as growth engineering, not an isolated technical implementation. We connect CRM, marketing automation and analytics under a single data model that activates the commercial KPIs that actually matter: stage-by-stage conversion, pipeline velocity, customer acquisition cost and customer lifetime value.
Our differentiator is a three-layer maturity framework — Data Foundation → Intelligence → Activation — that tells you exactly where your organisation stands today, which lever to activate next and what ROI to expect at each step. We do not sell licences: we design the architecture, implement the right stack and train your team to operate it confidently.
How we integrate CRM, sales and automation
We cover the full cycle: from the audit of your current state to the activation of automated campaigns, including technical implementation and team enablement.
CRM implementation (HubSpot, Salesforce)
We design the data model, configure pipelines, automate lead routing and connect the CRM with marketing and analytics tools. Phased implementations with a working MVP in 6-8 weeks.
CRM and sales integration
We close the gap between marketing and sales with shared MQL/SQL definitions, follow-up SLAs, joint lead scoring and a single pipeline report that closes the loop between demand generation and revenue.
Sales funnel automation
We design workflows covering the full cycle: capture, qualification, segmented nurturing, sales alerts, follow-up sequences, recovery of lost opportunities and reactivation of dormant accounts.
Advanced marketing automation
We implement multichannel architectures (email, SMS, WhatsApp, synced ads) governed by behavioural triggers, dynamic scoring and consent — with individual-level personalisation in B2B accounts.
Unified commercial reporting
Dashboards for pipeline, stage conversion, multi-touch attribution and retention cohorts that connect marketing investment to closed revenue — exactly what your CFO needs to trust digital spend.
Maturity framework: Data Foundation → Intelligence → Activation
01 · Data Foundation
Unified customer and account model, data governance, two-way integrations between CRM, marketing platform and analytics, and full lead traceability from first touch to closed revenue.
02 · Intelligence
Predictive lead scoring, dynamic segmentation, propensity models, multi-touch attribution and actionable dashboards that turn raw data into clear signals for marketing and sales.
03 · Activation
Marketing automation workflows, outbound sequences, paid media synchronisation, real-time sales alerts and continuous funnel experimentation to lift conversion.
Vendor-agnostic stack
We work with HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, ActiveCampaign, Google Marketing Platform, BigQuery and custom connectors. We recommend the stack that fits your business, not the partner that pays us most.
Team onboarding and enablement
Operational documentation, sales playbooks, user training and continuous support. Success is not delivering the system; it is your team operating it confidently after 90 days.
Long-term partnership
Quarterly KPI reviews, scoring model evolution, new automations and support whenever your product, market or stack changes.
Results you can expect
Companies where we have integrated CRM and automation have lifted MQL → SQL conversion by 25-40%, shortened sales cycles by 15-30 days and dramatically increased CRM adoption among sales reps by embedding it into their daily workflow. Leadership gets a single funnel they can finally trust to drive demand investment decisions.
VER CASOS DE ÉXITOPreguntas Frecuentes
What is marketing automation and CRM consultancy?
It is a service that connects the CRM, marketing automation platforms and analytics under a single data model so that sales, marketing and leadership operate with the same view of the customer. It goes beyond technical implementation: it includes commercial process design, KPI definition, data governance and team enablement so the system is actually used day-to-day.
How does this differ from a traditional CRM implementation?
A traditional implementation configures the tool. Our consultancy designs the growth engine the tool is meant to support: data architecture, CRM-marketing integration, scoring models, nurturing workflows, campaign attribution and pipeline reporting. The Data Foundation → Intelligence → Activation framework ensures every investment translates into measurable commercial KPIs.
How long does a CRM + marketing automation integration take?
A working MVP (basic CRM, marketing automation integration, first automated workflow and pipeline dashboard) is live within 6-8 weeks. Full activation of the framework — including advanced scoring, attribution and multichannel workflows — typically rolls out over 4-6 months in phases so the sales team is never blocked.
What CRM agencies should I evaluate for my project?
Look for agencies certified in at least two platforms (a sign of neutrality), with public cases of CRM-marketing-analytics integration in companies your size and with a proprietary implementation framework. Avoid partners that only sell licences: the difference between a successful project and an underused CRM lies in strategic consultancy, not the tool itself.
How is the success of CRM and sales integration measured?
Through concrete KPIs: MQL → SQL conversion rate, average pipeline velocity by stage, customer acquisition cost, sales CRM adoption rate (active logins, complete records), multi-touch attribution of closed revenue and customer lifetime value by acquisition channel. All visible in a single dashboard shared by marketing, sales and leadership.
Do you work with HubSpot, Salesforce or both?
We are certified partners of both and vendor-agnostic in our recommendations. HubSpot usually fits mid-sized companies with an inbound focus and a fast adoption curve. Salesforce is the right call when operational complexity, user volume or deep customisation needs justify it. We evaluate your case before recommending.
