The Daily Reality of Living in Salesforce
Let's talk about what's really happening in your organization right now.
The Admin Dependency Trap
- Monday, 9:15 AM: Your sales manager needs to add a custom field to track a new qualification metric. Simple request, right?
- Monday, 9:17 AM: Submit a ticket to the Salesforce admin. Queue position: 14.
- Wednesday, 2:30 PM: Admin gets to your ticket. Needs clarification. Emails back.
- Thursday, 10:00 AM: You respond with details.
- Friday, 4:45 PM: Field is finally added. But now the reports need updating.
- Next Monday: Submit another ticket for report changes...
Total time for "simple" change: 8 business days
Your team's productivity impact: Immeasurable
This isn’t how an enterprise CRM should work.
You chose Salesforce because you were told it's what serious companies use. That it's "enterprise-grade." That it scales. Nobody expects their CRM to require full-time management just to stay functional.
HubSpot gives you back what complex CRMs take away:
✅ Control: Your ops team makes changes in minutes, not tickets
✅ Speed: Deploy new processes same-day, not same-quarter
✅ Simplicity: If your team can use it, they don't need a manual
✅ Savings: Redirect $300K+ from maintenance to growth
✅ Sanity: Stop fighting your tools and start enjoying your work

Frequently Asked Questions
During our 7+ years of successful migrations, we've heard every objection, every fear, every "but what about..." question. Here are the real answers.
There’s no catch as it’s more about efficiency, not shortcuts. Salesforce typically requires a full-time admin or developer just to manage customizations and maintenance. HubSpot is built to be self-sufficient. Most admin tasks like data updates, workflow edits, reporting etc. can be handled directly by your RevOps or marketing team, without writing a single line of code. When you factor in lower license costs, no required developers, and fewer maintenance hours, total admin overhead drops by up to 90%.
You won't. We've been doing Salesforce migrations for 7+ years with a 100% data integrity rate. We migrate to a test environment first, validate everything with your team, then go live only when you approve. Plus, you keep your Salesforce data as a backup during the transition period.
Probably better than Salesforce does. We’ve migrated complex orgs with deep custom logic, layered automation, and multiple integrations into cleaner, more maintainable HubSpot setups. HubSpot’s native tools cover 97–99% of what most businesses need, and for the rest, we build reliable custom integrations.
That said, for about 1–3% of enterprise businesses, HubSpot may not provide all third-party integrations that the business may need, and we’re upfront about that from the start. Our process always includes a technical review to confirm compatibility before you commit to migration.
