We at Straight Growth are excited to announce that we have achieved HubSpot Onboarding Accreditation! This is a significant milestone in our evolution as a leading HubSpot agency. We'll explain why this accreditation is significant, how we achieved it, why it's essential for us as a Platinum Partner, and what our future plans are in this blog.
What Is HubSpot Onboarding Accreditation?
HubSpot Onboarding Accreditation is a certification that identifies agencies as experts and capable of delivering successful onboarding processes for their customers. It's a seal of approval that ensures businesses they are dealing with a team of experts who are familiar with HubSpot's tools and can use them to their advantage.
This accreditation is obtained by passing demanding tests, case studies, and proving oneself in different HubSpot services such as marketing automation, CRM installation, integrations, and more.
The Journey to Accreditation
At Straight Growth, it wasn't a piece of cake to get accredited with HubSpot Onboarding Accreditation, but every effort was worth it. We first tried the accreditation but fell short. Nevertheless, our team did not lose heart. We learned from the feedback, refined our strategy, and approached the process of accreditation the second time around — and succeeded.
It's an indication of our passion and commitment to delivering the best possible services to our customers, to continually improve our processes, and to upgrade our people's skills.
Why Is Accreditation Important for Us?
As a HubSpot Platinum Partner, we already have an established reputation for delivering top-tier HubSpot solutions to our clients. Getting the HubSpot Onboarding Accreditation gives it an added touch though.
This accreditation demonstrates our thorough knowledge of the tools and services offered by HubSpot, so we are not only qualified to implement the platform but also experts at bringing businesses onboard to tap into its potential. It ensures that our clients are working with a company that is well-experienced in providing structured, results-oriented onboarding processes.
As a client, you are assured of getting the best services. You can trust us to handle your projects with accuracy, achieving seamless integration and maximum utilization of HubSpot tools tailored to your individual needs.
The Process of Becoming HubSpot Onboarding Accredited
Getting HubSpot Onboarding certified is not simply a matter of passing an exam; it's proving our capacity to onboard clients with HubSpot's tool set effectively. This is how we achieved it:
- Compile a committed in-house team of three to five full-time workers (not including freelancers or contractors) to meet certification requirements.
- Guarantee that at least three members of the team hold certification in each prerequisite certificate in the Essential Certification Pack.
- Verify that at least two members of the team are certified in each prerequisite for the areas to be accredited.
- Attain Platinum-level or higher status as a HubSpot Solutions Partner and remain in good standing with HubSpot.
For the HubSpot Onboarding Accreditation, HubSpot experts must also:
Ensure there are at least two HubSpot Architecture-certified users.
Deliver at least two end-to-end onboarding projects within the past 12 months, delivering training and overall knowledge of the HubSpot platform.
Show mastery in onboarding and deployment of default HubSpot objects with supplementary context data aside from depending entirely on HubSpot-native import utilities.
Show knowledge of major CRMs, marketing automation tools, or helpdesk software other than HubSpot, such that we can provide tailored onboarding to our customers.
Process mapping, establishing a process for marketing and sales customization based on the customer's needs.
Who are the major stakeholders involved in the accreditation
The key stakeholders in our HubSpot Onboarding Accreditation were prominent figures from HubSpot's management and implementation teams, who contributed significant experience and advice. Leena and Nikhil, our department managers for HubSpot, were instrumental, worked on a set of video case studies, collected information to use for practical exercises, and produced the documentation required for onboarding. Our team members also worked in association with them to make the HubSpot courses and certifications completed on time, thus making the whole process smooth.
The reason we had individuals from departments at HubSpot to make sure the process was both exhaustive and in line with HubSpot's best practices. Their input enabled us to manage any challenges in an efficient manner and finish the HubSpot courses and certifications within schedule, and thus guarantee our success in the accrediting process through this team's effort.
What Are the Next Steps?
Now that we’ve achieved this major milestone, we’re looking forward to the next steps:
- Client Expansion: With our new accreditation, we’ll be able to onboard even more clients to HubSpot, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can take full advantage of its powerful features.
- Continued Education: HubSpot frequently updates its tools and features. We’ll continue to educate ourselves, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of the industry.
- Improved Processes: Our team will continue to refine and improve our onboarding processes, incorporating the best practices and new knowledge we've gained through this accreditation journey.
