Your sales pipeline keeps your company running like a well-oiled machine. But when a juicy deal slips through your fingers, it is jarring.
The culprit? Often, it is missing associations between critical records involved in the sales process.
Understanding how the web of contacts, companies, tickets, deals, and other records in your database all relate to each other is critical for a smooth, effective sales process and a positive experience for your customers.
Let’s consider an example.
A previous deal with the same customer, and without a link between the old and the new deal, leaves your sales team in the dark, fumbling without context. The historical relationship, a potential goldmine of leverage, remains untapped, and a rival company could pounce on the chance to swoop in and secure the new contract. If you’d had the right deal to deal associations in place, you’d have the context that you needed to connect with the customer’s needs and secure the new deal.
This isn't just a tale of missed connections — it's a cautionary chronicle highlighting the critical nature of associations in the CRM ecosystem. In sales and marketing, knowledge is power, and associations are the synapses that fire up that power. They're the invisible threads that weave together the tapestry of customer interactions, past and present.
When marketing and sales processes and technologies are perfectly aligned, the stats speak for themselves: companies see a 28% surge in profitability and a 36% uptick in revenue growth. It's the kind of alignment that turns potential into performance.
Associations are more than just a CRM feature—they're the cornerstone of a strategic approach that ensures every team member is equipped with the full picture. They're the difference between shooting in the dark and hitting the bullseye every time.
Allowing missing deal-to-deal associations to persist in your database will only hurt your sales team's productivity. It creates a mess of disjointed data they must pore through vs. spending time closing deals in the field.
Here's a look at the consequences of letting deal associations fall through the digital cracks:
The good news: deal-to-deal associations don't have to stay missing. Let's review how you can roll up your sleeves and add them to your HubSpot CRM.
Associating deals with other deals in HubSpot is a dance that requires a few precise steps. Here's how you can take the lead:
These steps seem simple when you have a handful of deals to associate. But when those disassociated deals rack up to hundreds or thousands, that's when you'll feel the tedious nature of this task.
Unfortunately, you can't automate HubSpot deal-to-deal associations, so you're stuck with manual labor. This leads to wasted time and resources that should otherwise go to revenue-generating projects and impacts on your team’s morale as they are forced to deal with fixing these issues continuously on an ongoing basis.
Then there's the potential for human errors, creating an even larger problem of wasting more resources to fix the problems.
The best way to avoid this is to opt for a platform that can automate this process.
That's what Insycle does. Let's explore how you can use it to automate deal associations in your CRM.
Associating deals to deals shouldn't take weeks, days, or even hours of your time. With Insycle, it doesn’t have to.
Let's explore how you can use our platform to identify and create deal-to-deal associations in bulk, or even automate associations in HubSpot workflows.
The idea of doing tedious tasks in bulk is a heaven-send for RevOps managers everywhere. Now, you can spread the light to your sales, marketing, and support teams by empowering them to clean up house with just a few clicks.
Incycle's flexible bulk association feature allows users to connect multiple deals to each other in HubSpot with ease, using any field as a matching criterion.
Simply select the deals you want to associate, define the criteria for association based on any field within your CRM data, and execute the association in bulk. For example, you can associate deals by any field in your database.
You can also use Insycle to examine existing associations and relationships. Identify the currently existing associations gaps, and create them. For example, the below example is looking for deals that are associated with the same company, but are missing deal-to-deal associations.
Insycle reduces the time and effort required to manually associate deals, ensuring your sales teams have the necessary context for each deal. It enhances data integrity and visibility across the sales pipeline, enabling more informed decision-making and strategy development.
Insycle can also automate deal-to-deal associations within HubSpot workflows, streamlining the process and ensuring consistency across the CRM.
Users can create a "Recipe," a collection of Insycle templates, each designed to perform specific association tasks, and inject those directly into existing workflows.
By injecting an Insycle recipe into Workflows, you can ensure that your deals are associated with other deals like you’d hope, before your sales team begins interacting with the account about the new deal.
