HubSpot CRMWorkflow Automation3 Weeks

How Pup Social Went From
Missed Leads to 100% Worked.

Pup Social had leads arriving faster than their process could handle. In three weeks we rebuilt their HubSpot CRM and shipped more than 30 automated workflows — and every lead that comes in now gets processed and worked.

The challenge

Pup Social is a growing pet-services business. Like most businesses at that stage, the systems that worked at ten leads a month started breaking at a hundred — not because anyone was doing a bad job, but because the process depended on people remembering things.

  • Leads arrived through several channels with no single place they all landed
  • Follow-up depended on someone manually noticing a new enquiry
  • No shared view of where each lead sat in the pipeline
  • Repetitive admin was consuming time that should have gone to customers
  • Knowledge lived in people's heads rather than in documented process

How We Approached It

We don't install a template and leave. Every workflow was designed around how Pup Social actually works.

1

Understand First

Before building anything, we mapped their existing data and current working process — what happens today, who does it, and where it breaks.

2

Conceptualize

We designed the automation logic around those findings and reviewed it with the team, so the system matched reality rather than an idealized version of it.

3

Build & Test

Their HubSpot CRM was optimized and more than 30 workflows were built — lead capture, routing, follow-up, and internal notifications — each tested against real scenarios.

4

Hand Over Properly

SOPs, training materials, and recorded tutorials so the team could run and trust the system without depending on us.

What We Built

A connected system rather than a pile of disconnected automations.

Optimized HubSpot CRM

Pipeline stages, properties, and record structure rebuilt around how Pup Social actually sells — so the CRM reflects the business instead of fighting it.

Lead Management Workflows

Every enquiry captured, assigned, and routed automatically — no lead depends on someone spotting it in an inbox.

Automated Follow-Up

Timely, consistent follow-up that runs whether or not anyone remembers — the single biggest driver behind leads no longer going cold.

Pipeline Visibility

A shared, current view of every lead and deal, so the team can see status at a glance instead of reconstructing it.

SOPs & Documentation

Written standard operating procedures so the process survives staff changes and doesn't live only in someone's memory.

Recorded Training

Video walkthroughs and training materials so the team could adopt the new system with confidence — and onboard new staff without us.

In Their Words
