You scaled with Pipedrive. Then you added Aircall, Mailchimp, Chili Piper, PandaDoc, Outreach, Zapier and a customer success tool to patch the gaps. It breaks, it leaks data, and it blocks fundraising diligence. We consolidate the sprawl into one HubSpot platform in three to six weeks, with less than twenty hours of CEO time.
Pipedrive is a good sales-only pipeline tool. It was never built to connect marketing, sales and customer success in one system. To make it work at scale you bolt on seven to ten extra tools — and each one leaks data, breaks reporting, and compounds the work of closing the books, pleasing the board, and raising the next round.
Pipedrive is sales-only. Marketing, customer success, reporting and quoting all live in other tools — connected by middleware that breaks the moment anything changes.
Every extra tool is another licence, another integration to maintain, and another data source that disagrees with the others. Reporting is manual. Forecasting is gut feel. Board updates take a week.
Something forces the decision. It is almost always one of four triggers — and it almost always has a fixed deadline that the CEO, CFO or board does not want to miss.
Every quarter you keep patching the sprawl, the rework compounds. Reps learn habits in the old stack. Data hygiene gets worse. Diligence requests from investors take longer and longer to answer.
The founders and revenue leaders who move fastest tend to optimise for the same five things — because open-ended scopes and hourly billing are exactly what they are trying to escape.
Pipedrive handles the pipeline. Everything else — calling, email marketing, scheduling, contracts, sequences, automations, customer success — has to be bought separately. HubSpot replaces the entire stack with one data model and one bill.
Pipedrive plus the seven to ten tools that make it work.
One portal, one data model, one renewal conversation.
Three inputs. Eight tool toggles. The annual value of running one platform instead of nine.
Honest numbers in. Honest stack cost out.
Untick anything that does not apply. Defaults reflect the typical sprawl we see.

Prodlane, the company behind the artificial-intelligence assistant MAIA, closed a seed round and doubled the sales team from two to four people — including the CEO. Four weeks of work in Pipedrive hit its ceiling on customisation, reporting and pipeline design. SalesPlaybook rebuilt the go-to-market system in HubSpot in six to eight weeks, with under twenty hours of CEO time, while the sales team kept selling.

SalesPlaybook hat HubSpot in sechs bis acht Wochen vollständig aufgesetzt und in unsere bestehenden Prozesse integriert. Das hat uns erlaubt, weiter zu verkaufen, während wir die Grundlage für eine skalierbare Sales-Strategie gelegt haben."
Aumico, a financial-software startup for fiduciaries and accounting teams, ran sales on spreadsheets and Pipedrive. SalesPlaybook stood up and fully optimised their HubSpot in under two weeks, cutting the time to send a quote by 80 percent and giving them reporting across the full customer journey.

A Done-With-You model. You own the data, the process and the final configuration. We bring the playbook, the technical hands, and the sequencing that keeps revenue flowing while the stack is rebuilt underneath it. This is the exact cadence we used for MAIA by Prodlane.
Migrations fail for predictable reasons. We have run enough of them to name each failure mode and the mitigation we apply before it becomes a problem. We are also clear about the limits: some historical detail cannot be migrated one-to-one out of any of these tools, so we plan a clean cut-over rather than promise a perfect copy. Full transparency, in the proposal, before you sign.
A proper Pipedrive-to-HubSpot migration, including Mailchimp, sequences, calling and quoting, takes three to six weeks with us. Not a quarter. Not two. The sales team keeps selling. The CEO spends under twenty hours. The board sees one source of truth in time for the next update.
Benchmarks based on recent scoped engagements — including the MAIA by Prodlane migration. Your final number depends on hub selection, number of satellite tools retired, and Revenue Operations cadence — all confirmed before we sign.
