What to Expect During Your HarvestROI Project

A Simple, Structured Path to Results


HarvestROI projects are designed to remove confusion, reduce rework, and deliver value early. All while building systems your team can confidently use long after launch.

We don’t treat HubSpot as a one-time setup.
We design it as the foundation for how your teams operate, grow, and make decisions.

This page is your reference point throughout the project. Anytime you want clarity on where things stand, what’s coming next, or what’s expected of you.

Each phase builds on the last, so nothing is rushed, skipped, or rebuilt later.

Your Project, Step by Step

conversation-assignment-1

1. Kickoff & Discovery

What’s happening:
We align stakeholders, confirm goals, and understand your current tools, processes, and constraints.

You’re here if:

  • You’re sharing context and priorities

  • We’re asking detailed questions

  • No system changes have started yet

Why this step matters:

Clear alignment upfront prevents confusion, delays, and rework later.

2. Process Architecture Workshops

What’s happening:

We design how HubSpot will support your business. Such as data structure, lifecycle stages, automation, integrations, and reporting.

You’re here if:

  • You’re participating in design workshops

  • You’re reviewing diagrams or documentation

  • We’re asking for design approvals

Why this step matters:

This design becomes the blueprint for everything we build.

3. Implementation

What’s happening:

We configure HubSpot based on the approved design. Including, CRM structure, workflows, automation, permissions, reporting, and integrations.

You’re here if:

  • You’re receiving progress updates

  • Most work is happening behind the scenes

  • You’re not testing everything yet

Why this step matters:

Building from a clear plan keeps implementation fast and intentional.

4. Testing & Validation

What’s happening:

Your team reviews workflows, dashboards, and user experiences using real-world scenarios. Feedback is incorporated before launch.

You’re here if:

  • You’re clicking through workflows

  • You’re validating reports and dashboards

  • We’re refining details based on your feedback

Why this step matters:

Testing now prevents adoption issues and surprises later.

5. Training & Adoption

What’s happening:
We train your team using practical, role-based sessions and in-app guidance through AdoptionHub.

You’re here if:

  • Teams are learning how to use the system

  • Training materials and walkthroughs are shared

  • Confidence is building across roles

Why this step matters:

Adoption, not configuration; is what drives ROI.

6. Acceleration and Support

What’s happening:

After launch, we focus on refinement, including analytics, performance insights, and targeted improvements as your business evolves.

You’re here if:

  • The system is live

  • You’re reviewing results and reports

  • We’re making iterative improvements

Why this step matters:

Your system should grow with your business, not stay static.

Successful outcomes come from partnership. We ask for:

A clear Project Champion with decision-making authority

Questions Clients Often Ask:

“Why aren’t we building yet?”

Alignment and design upfront prevent delays and rework later and saving time overall.

“Can we change things later?”

Yes. Intentional changes are easier and less disruptive when made during design and review phases.

“Why do you need our input so often?”

Your context ensures the system reflects real workflows, not assumptions.

“What if our processes change?”

That’s expected. The system is designed to evolve with your business.

“How do we know we’re on track?”

Clear milestones, documentation, and AdoptionHub visibility provide transparency throughout the project.
