Connecting Teams, Data and Clients: Rebuilding the Revenue Engine at Phillips Law
The Challenge
Phillips Law is a regional firm serving both commercial clients and private individuals, with multiple practice areas and strong cross-sell potential. The firm was using HubSpot Sales and Marketing Hub Professional and had support from an overseas partner, but adoption was low. Data was unreliable and leadership struggled to get a clear, trusted view of pipeline and performance.
The issue wasn’t missing functionality. It was a lack of clarity, alignment and ownership. There was no shared revenue model, teams worked to different definitions and HubSpot was treated as a collection of tools rather than the operating system for growth.
The Solution (So Far)
-
1Auditing the Current HubSpot SetupWe began with a structured audit of the existing HubSpot portal. This included reviewing how contacts, companies and deals were being used, how enquiries were captured and which properties, workflows and reports were in place. The audit highlighted inconsistent data entry, unused features and gaps between how teams thought HubSpot worked and how it was actually configured. This gave both Phillips Law and Intergage a clear starting point and a prioritised list of fixes.
-
2Cleaning and Structuring the DataOn the back of the audit, we focused on improving data quality in the areas that mattered most. We started to clean and standardise key contact and company properties so that basic segmentation for example, commercial vs private clients becomes possible and reliable. We removed or consolidated redundant fields and began to bring records into a more consistent structure so future reporting and campaigning have a solid foundation.
-
3Introducing the Team to What HubSpot Can DoIn parallel, we delivered introductory and role-focused training sessions. These were designed to show marketing, BD and support staff what HubSpot can do beyond simple contact storage. We walked through practical features such as views, tasks, basic reporting and email tools, using Phillips Law’s own data and examples. The aim at this stage has been to build awareness, reduce uncertainty and help people see how HubSpot can support their day-to-day work.
-
4Establishing a Guided RoadmapBased on the audit findings and early training, we worked with Phillips Law to outline a guided roadmap for the next 12 months. This sets out the sequence of work: further data clean-up, aligning key processes in HubSpot to how the firm actually works, and gradually introducing more targeted marketing and cross-sell activity. While this is work for the future, the roadmap itself is an important early outcome, giving leadership and teams a clear, realistic path forward.
Early Impact
Although the engagement is in its early stages, Phillips Law has already seen some practical benefits:
These early steps are about getting the basics right, so that later improvements in reporting, targeting, cross-sell and automation are built on solid, well-understood foundations.
