Challenge

1. Disconnected sales and marketing operations. Amiad’s marketing team was already using HubSpot to manage campaigns, capture leads, and track engagement, while the sales team continued working in Zoho CRM. With no native sync between the two systems, leads generated by marketing had no structured path into the sales pipeline, creating manual handoffs, inconsistent follow-up, and a significant gap between marketing activity and sales execution.

2. Limited visibility into lead engagement and pipeline health. Sales representatives lacked a clear view of which contacts had engaged with campaigns, attended webinars, or expressed interest through marketing channels. At the same time, leadership did not have reliable real-time visibility into pipeline health, deal progress, or forecasting, making it difficult to manage a global sales organization with confidence.

3. Inconsistent CRM structure and data quality. Amiad’s existing sales process was not fully reflected in the CRM, with incomplete deal properties, unclear stage criteria, and inconsistent data hygiene across regions and teams. For a company managing 30+ sales representatives across multiple regions and business units, this made it harder to maintain clean records, enforce a consistent sales process, and build accurate forecasts.

Solution

A Unified HubSpot Revenue Platform. SAGE migrated Amiad’s sales operation from Zoho CRM into HubSpot Sales Hub, bringing sales and marketing into one shared environment. This gave the organization a single operational foundation for managing contacts, companies, deals, customer interactions, and marketing engagement data.

CRM Architecture Built Around Amiad’s Sales Process. SAGE rebuilt the sales pipeline to reflect Amiad’s real-world sales motion, from initial qualification through technical evaluation, commercial negotiation, and close. Custom properties were added for region, product line, distributor relationships, and stage exit criteria, creating a structure that matched how the global sales team actually works.

Data Quality and Forecasting Infrastructure. As part of the migration, SAGE cleaned, standardized, and restructured Amiad’s contact and company records according to HubSpot best practices. Mandatory fields and stage criteria were implemented to reduce incomplete records, improve data integrity, and support more reliable forecasting.

Sales Enablement and Global Team Onboarding. To drive adoption, SAGE delivered a structured live training program for 30+ sales representatives across regions. The training covered daily sales workflows, deal management, email and calendar integration, task management, and custom views tailored to each rep’s focus area.

Our role

SAGE served as Amiad’s strategic HubSpot and revenue operations partner, transforming a fragmented sales and marketing setup into a unified, scalable revenue infrastructure. The engagement went beyond technical migration, combining CRM architecture, process design, data restructuring, and sales enablement to make HubSpot the operational backbone of Amiad’s global sales organization.

  • Owned the end-to-end CRM transformation, from Zoho-to-HubSpot migration planning through data restructuring, system configuration, rollout, and adoption.
  • Translated Amiad’s global sales process into a scalable HubSpot architecture, aligning pipeline stages, custom properties, mandatory fields, and stage exit criteria with the way the sales team actually works.
  • Created the operational foundation for marketing-sales alignment, ensuring leads could move from marketing activity into the sales pipeline with the right engagement context, campaign source, and lifecycle data.
  • Strengthened data quality and forecasting discipline, by standardizing records, reducing fragmentation, and implementing CRM rules that support more complete and reliable pipeline data.
  • Led sales enablement across regions, training and onboarding 30+ sales representatives and helping position HubSpot as the central platform for daily sales execution.
  • Enabled management visibility at scale, through dashboards and reporting views that help leadership track pipeline health, rep activity, deal progress, and regional performance.

Results

  • Faster global CRM adoption across 30+ sales reps. Amiad’s sales team was trained and actively working in HubSpot within 3 weeks, enabling the company to quickly move from a fragmented CRM setup to a shared sales platform across regions. This accelerated adoption of a consistent sales process and reduced the operational drag typically associated with global CRM rollouts.
  • Marketing-sales alignment that supports pipeline creation. By eliminating the Zoho/HubSpot split, Amiad created a unified revenue environment where every lead could move into the sales process with engagement history, campaign source, and lifecycle stage data. This gave sales teams better context for follow-up and gave marketing clearer visibility into how its activity contributed to pipeline.
  • A stronger foundation for revenue planning. With cleaner CRM data, enforced stage criteria, and role-based dashboards, Amiad’s leadership could manage the sales operation with greater confidence. Instead of relying on fragmented or incomplete pipeline data, the team gained a more structured foundation for forecasting, regional performance tracking, and revenue planning.
