They understood our business fast and managed the schedule superbly, building a system beyond what we had hoped for.

Troubled by Salesforce becoming a formality on the sales floor, and by the cost, we decided to replace it with HubSpot, which is low-code and less expensive.
With the renewal deadline approaching, careful scheduling and reassuring support saw the migration through safely.
We have no IT knowledge and were anxious at first, but Mr Tagai deepened his understanding of our business at extraordinary speed, and that anxiety vanished at once.
He explained every feature carefully and in our own terms, so we were not merely having a system built; we proceeded with a concrete picture and the conviction that this is how we can use it on the ground, and with real enthusiasm.
Barely two months from kick-off was honestly a very tight schedule, but he found time for a meeting every day despite being busy, and created an environment where we could ask anything on Slack at any time. That thorough support saved us many times over.
It is because of that smooth, warm communication that the project never stalled and was completed at the greatest possible speed.
Mr Tagai's flexibility, grounded in wide experience, is quite outstanding. However far-fetched our questions or unreasonable our requests, he never pretended to know; he listened sincerely for what was really troubling us and always proposed solutions far beyond what we had imagined. Where a meeting ran short, or where something advanced was hard to grasp in words, he later prepared demonstration screens and materials we could understand at a glance, and every question was resolved completely. He was so dependable that we often leaned on him, and we are genuinely glad he was the one in charge.
NowVillage's implementation support is not merely configuring a tool; it is the finest service for genuinely strengthening your own sales process.
We are truly grateful, and we recommend them wholeheartedly and with confidence to any company facing the same anxieties about a system migration or about IT.

A HubSpot migration carried by their understanding of our business and their support

While we were considering a move from Salesforce to HubSpot, it was striking that from the very first meeting they said clearly that on this scope the migration was possible within the period we wanted. From that, and from how the schedule was organised and managed, we felt strongly the reassurance that comes from Mr Tagai's wide experience and record. What was especially good was that, rather than working to a template, they understood our work deeply and designed and proposed flexibly for our particular company. The questions in the discovery sessions were very much to the point, and the understanding and imagination with which they organised the real problems was surprising. It was also most encouraging that they brought concrete idea after concrete idea on how using HubSpot could make our work more efficient and strengthen our selling. The follow-up after implementation is generous too, and replies to questions are fast, so we could run the project with constant reassurance. This is a company that does not stop at implementing HubSpot but stays alongside you on how to make the tool work on the ground and improve the business. We can recommend them with confidence to any company anxious about adopting HubSpot or migrating a system.

The CRM build was flawless

In moving from Salesforce to HubSpot, they gave firm shape to what was confusing us and to the vague problems we felt, and drew out the solutions to them.
And they did not finish at the build; they support us in making it work in practice.
Replies are fast, which is a great help. The work proceeds without stress.
I wish we had met them sooner.
They are a partner we trust, and we hope to consult them on running our marketing from here too.

Practical build support with real use of HubSpot in view

They supported us in building HubSpot. Through the project they set regular meetings and shared progress and problems carefully, so we could proceed with confidence. They also responded quickly to requests and changes on the operational side, and it was a great help that they grasped our intent accurately and proposed the best approach. Their knowledge of HubSpot is deep, and because the advice took account of our processes and how we work rather than being mere configuration, it has helped promote use of the system internally. They are a partner we can recommend to any company considering adopting or building HubSpot.

About our support for moving from Salesforce to HubSpot

Frequently asked questions

  • We do not know which HubSpot product and plan is right for us.

    We select and optimise the right HubSpot products (Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, Service Hub and so on) and plan (Starter, Professional, Enterprise and so on) to match what your business does, how far you use Salesforce today, and your number of users, with nothing missing and nothing superfluous.
    We never push a more expensive licence than you need.

  • Can Salesforce customisations and custom objects be migrated too?

    We propose the shape best suited to your processes, whether using HubSpot's custom objects (which require the Enterprise plan) or redesigning things more simply with the standard features.

  • How long does moving from Salesforce to HubSpot take?

    It varies with how you use Salesforce and the volume of data, but three to six months is the usual guide, or six to eight months where there is complex customisation.
    We propose the right schedule for the scale of what you do now, including the volume of data you want to keep (customer and deal information), the number of custom objects and the number of automations.
    That is a guide only, so we are glad to discuss it alongside your Salesforce renewal date.

  • Can we run Salesforce and HubSpot side by side until the migration is complete?

    HubSpot provides an official Salesforce integration app, so the two can be synced for a period while you migrate in stages.
    To keep disruption and the risk of work stopping to a minimum, we set a safe schedule that includes that period of parallel running.

  • Will our work stop during the migration?

    We plan and adjust as we go so that the load on normal work during the migration is kept to a minimum.

  • Our Salesforce renewal deadline is approaching. Is a short migration possible?

    By prioritising which assets to migrate from your current Salesforce, or migrating in stages starting with the important data, a short replacement is possible.
    We have completed a migration on a schedule as tight as two months to the renewal deadline, so do tell us your contract end date and we will build the best plan for meeting it.

  • Can past sales activity, tasks and email history, be carried over?

    Basic activity history such as email and tasks can be migrated and synced smoothly into HubSpot's activities.
    For data in Salesforce-specific features such as Chatter, its internal social tool, we propose a suitable alternative, converting it into HubSpot notes for instance, so none of the past is wasted.

  • Can reports and dashboards built in Salesforce be migrated?

    Because reporting works differently, they cannot be migrated as they are.
    We rebuild equivalent data and charts using HubSpot's reporting.
    HubSpot's reporting is intuitive and easy to use, so after the migration your own people can customise it easily, which brings the data to life internally.

  • What happens to the external systems currently connected to Salesforce?

    HubSpot offers more than 1,800 integration apps and connects natively to most major tools.
    We discuss the systems you currently connect, and consider whether to use HubSpot's standard integrations or to build the connection with webhooks and APIs using our development experience, maintaining a system environment that is optimal overall.

  • How much does it cost?

    It depends on the number of departments involved, the volume of data, the complexity of the customisation and the number of objects you hold.
    We produce a quote free of charge after discussing it, so please do start with a free conversation.
