Madelyn's journey to becoming a HubSpot expert began long before she ever encountered the platform. Growing up in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and later moving to Florida, she experienced a diverse upbringing that shaped her adaptability and resilience. Initially drawn to the world of marketing during her college years, Madelyn's early internships provided a foundational understanding of the field.
It was during these internships and subsequent freelance work that Madelyn first encountered HubSpot. The platform's user-friendly interface and comprehensive capabilities made it an obvious choice for the startups and small businesses she worked with. Over time, she became the go-to person for all things HubSpot, often being crowned the "accidental admin" due to her natural proficiency with the tool.
Key turning points in her HubSpot learning journey included using the platform extensively during her tenure at various B2B companies. Here, she honed her skills in different HubSpot hubs, from marketing to sales, and even integrated engineering processes. Her passion for HubSpot is driven by its versatility and the community it fosters. Madelyn thrives on solving complex problems and creating streamlined processes that benefit both her team and the clients she serves.
Madelyn specializes in addressing a variety of HubSpot-related challenges, particularly those that involve bridging gaps between different departments. Her primary areas of expertise include the Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, and CRM, with a special focus on creating seamless integrations and workflows.
She typically works with startups and small to medium-sized businesses, where resources are often limited, and efficiency is paramount. Common pain points she encounters include disjointed marketing and sales efforts, inefficient data management, and the struggle to track and measure the success of marketing campaigns.
Madelyn's approach to problem-solving is both systematic and creative. She believes in standardizing processes while allowing room for flexibility and innovation. Her methodology often involves detailed process mapping, conditional logic, and automation to ensure that every team member can work efficiently within HubSpot. This approach not only resolves immediate issues but also sets up sustainable practices for long-term success.
One of Madelyn's standout projects involved integrating an engineering team into the sales process within HubSpot. The company was using a myriad of Excel spreadsheets, which led to outdated and disjointed information. Recognizing the need for a centralized system, Madelyn took on the challenge of bringing the engineering team into the HubSpot ecosystem.
By creating custom views, automating notifications, and establishing conditional logic, she was able to streamline the entire process. Each team had its own view and only saw relevant information, reducing overwhelm and increasing efficiency. This integration not only improved communication between the sales and engineering teams but also enhanced the overall sales process.
Madelyn's work has led to significant improvements for many of her clients. For instance, one notable success story involved a company struggling with tracking trade show success. Historically, measuring the impact of events had been challenging, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
Madelyn implemented a comprehensive trade show campaign within HubSpot, complete with customized tracking and reporting features. This allowed the marketing team to measure ROI accurately and make data-driven decisions for future events. As a result, the company saw a 30% increase in lead conversions from trade shows and improved collaboration between marketing and sales.
Another client, a B2B company, faced difficulties in managing their sales pipeline. Madelyn introduced a series of automated workflows and customized dashboards that provided real-time insights into the sales process. This transformation led to a 25% reduction in the sales cycle and a 15% increase in closed deals, showcasing the tangible benefits of her expertise.
