Onboarding vs. Implementation

What's the Difference?

Although these might seem like similar processes, there are actually quite a few differences between the two.

Onboarding usually only entails training your team on one specific Hub at a time. It doesn't follow the bigger picture or show you how HubSpot will work for your business in the long run.

That's where implementation comes in. Implementation involves setting up each Hub to make sure you get the most out of your business. Implementation lets you see the bigger picture of how your business can adapt and grow. It starts with a data and reporting process, and it ends with using that data to see where your business strategies need to improve.

HubSpot FAQs

What is HubSpot?

Simply put, HubSpot is a company that provides CRM (customer relationship management) software and technology that helps businesses grow.

That sounds simple, but HubSpot delivers a solution that has a powerful impact on its customers. With HubSpot, businesses can focus on providing a customer experience that is a true competitive advantage … one that drives sustainable business growth.

HubSpot, the CRM platform, consists of software that provides five different business functions. The five hubs within the full platform are:

  • Marketing Hub — software that specifically supports inbound marketing strategies to grow traffic, generate and convert leads, and show a return on investment
  • Sales Hub — software that supports your sales team with increased productivity, shortened sales cycles, and tools to make your sales process more human
  • Service Hub — software that supports your customer service efforts to connect with and support your customers so that they turn around and promote your business on your behalf
  • CMS (Content Management System) Hub — software to manage your online, digital content in a way that’s both flexible and powerful for you as well as personalized and secure for your customers and website visitors
  • Operations Hub — software that gives you the ability to efficiently manage customer data and automate your business processes

HubSpot packs a lot of power in the platform. So much so that, more often than not, even the smartest business people need help harnessing all that power.

And that’s where HubSpot Solutions Partners like WorldLight Media come in.

We can give you honest advice to help you decide if HubSpot is right for you, and if it is, help you choose a package that fits your specific needs. We can then help with the onboarding, set-up, and implementation of the software … including training your team on how to use it.
