Common Use Cases

Theory meets practice

Let's look at common scenarios where the Customer Value Platform approach makes a real difference.

Use Case 1: The Informed Sales Call

The Scenario

A sales rep is about to call a Hand-Raiser who requested a demo yesterday.

โŒ Traditional CRM

Rep opens the contact record and sees: name, email, company, form submission date. Maybe job title if they're lucky. The call starts cold.

โœ… Customer Value Platform

Unified Customer View: This person has visited the site 12 times over 3 weeks, read 5 blog posts about reporting, and downloaded the "RevOps Playbook" guide
Company Context: Their company is a 150-person SaaS company that raised Series B last quarter
Relationship History: A colleague from this company attended a webinar last month but didn't follow up

The call starts with context.

โœจ The Difference
Same contact record, same data points. But organized for relationship understanding instead of activity logging, the rep has a completely different starting point.

Use Case 2: The Renewal Conversation

The Scenario

Customer Success needs to prepare for a renewal meeting with a key account coming up in 60 days.

โŒ Traditional CRM

CS sees the renewal date on the deal record. They check account notes from last quarter's QBR. They ask Sales what they remember from initial onboarding.

โœ… Customer Value Platform

Unified Revenue View: Original deal was $48K, expanded to $72K last year. Current ARR run rate. Contract terms.
Unified Customer View: Three stakeholders โ€” original champion moved to a new role, new champion is the VP who joined 6 months ago
Unified Context: Support ticket volume increased 2x last quarter. Primary product usage is strong, but the add-on module they bought shows low engagement
Team Activity: Last touchpoint was 45 days ago. VP hasn't been engaged in 90 days.

Strategic insights for renewal success.

Use Case 3: The Support Escalation

Use Case 4: The Marketing Campaign

Use Case 5: Leadership Visibility

๐Ÿ’ก The Pattern
In every use case, the difference isn't more data โ€” it's better organized data that serves relationship understanding. Same HubSpot, same information, radically different utility.

Your Turn

โ“

Questions you struggle with

What do you need to know quickly about customers?

๐Ÿ”—

Handoff breakdowns

Where do teams lose context?

๐Ÿ’ก

Context that changes engagement

What would change how you interact?

๐Ÿ“ก

Proactive signals

What would help you act before problems arise?

These questions point to where unified views would make the biggest difference in your business.

Your Use Case

Which of these scenarios resonates most with your current reality? Pick one and think about how unified views would change it:

๐Ÿ“ž

If you're in Sales/Marketing...

Think about your last customer call. What context were you missing? What would you have said differently with complete visibility?

(Past conversations? Stage in journey? What they care about most? Who else is involved?)

๐Ÿ”„

If you're in Customer Success...

Think about a recent renewal conversation. What expansion opportunities did you miss because you didn't know what was happening across the account?

(Other product usage? Team growth? New pain points? Budget changes?)

๐ŸŽฏ

If you're in Leadership...

Think about the last time you asked "How's that account doing?" How long did it take to get a complete answer? What was missing?

(Revenue status? Relationship health? Expansion potential? Risk signals?)

๐Ÿ’ก

The Pattern

In every case, the problem is the same: fragmented data makes it hard to see the complete picture. Unified views solve this by connecting the dots automatically.

๐Ÿš€ Next Step
You've learned the concepts. You've seen the patterns. You've mapped your customers and audited your objects. Now it's time to think about how you'll actually implement this in your HubSpot. The next lesson will help you plan your starting point.
