Unify Your Go-To-Market: The SMB RevOps Foundation Playbook
Your Sales and Marketing teams agree on strategy but stumble on execution. This leads to friction over target account lists, inconsistent messaging that confuses buyers, a broken handoff process, and teams chasing conflicting goals (MQLs vs. meetings). The result? A disjointed buyer journey, longer sales cycles, and ultimately, lost revenue.
This playbook establishes a 'single source of truth' for your go-to-market teams. By integrating HubSpot (as your core CRM & Marketing Automation hub), Clearbit (for powerful data enrichment), and Salesloft (for streamlined sales engagement), you create a seamless operational backbone. This stack is ideal for SMBs and mid-market companies building their first dedicated RevOps function, ensuring both sales and marketing work from the same data, towards the same goals.
Expected Outcomes
- A single, data-driven Target Account List (TAL) that both sales and marketing agree on.
- Consistent, personalized messaging across the entire buyer journey, from first marketing touch to final sales call.
- A seamless and automated handoff process for engaged accounts, eliminating lead leakage.
- Shared, revenue-focused KPIs that align both teams towards the common goal of closing deals.
- A cohesive and professional buyer experience that shortens sales cycles and increases conversion rates.

The Workflow
Integration Logic
-
Zapier
This integration automates the lead qualification and handoff process. When a new contact is created in HubSpot (Trigger), Zapier sends the contact's email address to Clearbit for data enrichment (Action). The enriched data (like company size, industry, and job title) is then used to update the contact record back in HubSpot (Action). A filter then checks if the contact meets predefined Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) criteria. If the criteria are met, Zapier automatically adds the contact as a Person to a designated Salesloft Cadence (Action), initiating the sales outreach sequence.
