Results That Speak for Themselves
We’ve found working with Alyssa and the team at Gather & Grow has been a great fit for our needs and timing. We’re based in New Zealand and use tools like Google Meet and ClickUp to collaborate on projects. Alyssa is always flexible with meeting times that suit our time zone, which means we can meet, train, and work through things without delay. The skills and knowledge Alyssa and her team share have helped us grow in confidence and independence with HubSpot. We were really pleased with the audit we received, and it helped us find smart ways to improve our CRM performance. HubSpot has loads of useful features, but it’s easy to get stuck if you don’t know how to use them properly. After working with Alyssa and her team, I feel much more confident navigating those tools. And if something’s above my skill level, having their support ready to go is exactly what we need.
We have a unique business with many moving parts and a wide, wide range of needs from different teams and different team members. Add to that, we are a growing start up so in many ways we're still working out our own best approach to things. Alyssa did an amazing job of working with all of the different teams and team members to understand what we're doing currently, what we want to be doing, and help to guide us in how to get there. Not only did Alyssa help to streamline our CRM, but she also helped to solve problems we didn't even realise we had! To look back a few weeks ago and think that we nearly tried to do this ourselves is laughable, the end result would have been lacking in nearly every aspect without the help of a pro like Alyssa! We still have a lot to learn, but I know we have a strong foundation to build on thanks to Gather 'n' Grow!
It was a complex and time sensitive project, with millions of data points to migrate and a bunch of different integrations, and Alyssa was at the heart of its success - she knows Hubspot inside and out, asked difficult questions, didn't take the easy route (aka 'I'll just let them do this dumb idea because it's easier for me') when she didn't think it was in our best interest, and basically went above and beyond in ensuring we had a great CRM which was using Hubspot's full capacity. Alyssa is a great mix of analytical and creative who is a great marketer as well as a Hubspot expert, so she really understands where you're coming from and thinks things through from an end user perspective. Wholeheartedly recommend!
FAQs
How long does an audit take?
Generally, these are the timelines we work with. We will always take the time to understand the way you’re using various technology tools and your business goals, marketing plans, sales processes and more before starting the audit. It’s important that we understand the context before going deep into your tech stack with a fine-tooth comb.
Approximately, it can take between 5-15 business days – depending on the complexity of processes and techstack.
How often should I be doing an audit?
Depending on your business size and processes, it is good to do health checks every 6 months. If you’re short on time, we can do an audit for you and share our unbiased ideas and point of view.
What do I get out of paying for a techstack audit?
A lot of times these decisions are happening in a vacuum where one department is choosing a tool that best fits their needs in a different department or team might be adopting a different tool that might overlap with some functionality, but because it serves their teams… without the view of the business as a whole.
At the end of the audit, you will get an unbiased list of ideas on what areas are working well, how you can improve and streamline your current techstack, major warning signs that could lead to detrimental outcomes in the future and apps/integrations you could use but aren’t yet. You’ll get the what, why & how.
Do you we have to audit every part of the techstack and process?
We generally prefer auditing the whole process as they’re all interconnected and context could be missed. However, we could break up the audits into chunks and focus on certain areas. We would need to discuss and agree the scope.
I'm one of your customers. Do I need to pay for an additional audit?
If you’re on a retainer with us, we will do random spotchecks. As a techstack audit goes beyond HubSpot, it would need to be requested and agreed upon so that you are across how the support retainer is spent.
