CRM migration · Shani Wolf, HubSpot, monday & Amplemarket partner · for B2B tech companies
Switching CRM without losing your data
To HubSpot, or to monday CRM. From a Salesforce that costs a fortune and nobody logs into, from a Dynamics that only collects forms, from spreadsheets, or from a legacy system everyone works around. It starts with a migration plan that says what moves, what gets rebuilt and how many weeks. Then I do the work myself, inside your systems.
Sounds familiar?
Where are you moving from?
Salesforce is expensive, and sales works in WhatsApp and ExcelFrom Salesforce
We pay for HubSpot Pro and use it for forms. The leads live in DynamicsFrom Dynamics
We outgrew monday: boards instead of a CRM, and the price went up without a decisionFrom monday

From Salesforce to HubSpot, or alongside it
You don't always leave. Sometimes Salesforce stays the system of record for sales and HubSpot becomes the marketing layer, with a two-way sync. Sometimes the whole sales team moves. The decision follows who actually works where.
- Contacts, companies and deals, with their history
- Pipeline stages remapped to the real process
- Two-way sync: object by object, direction by direction
- Reports leadership reads, from day one
Lead management moves from Dynamics to HubSpot, up to SQL
The common case: paying for HubSpot Pro and using it for forms, while the leads live in Dynamics. The migration moves lead management to HubSpot up to the point where sales takes over, and leaves Dynamics doing what it does well.
- Forms, leads and lead scoring in HubSpot
- Handoff to sales at SQL, with the full context
- Dynamics keeps what it does well, and stays connected
- A migration plan before you commit to a scope
monday CRM or HubSpot? Sometimes both
When monday runs projects beautifully but the leads live in boards, the price climbed without a decision and marketing automation doesn't exist, you test: HubSpot for marketing and sales, monday for the work, a sync between them. Or a full move. 90 days in a sandbox before anyone decides.
- A HubSpot sandbox with your data, before the decision
- monday stays for projects, connected with two-way Data Sync
- Leads, pipeline and marketing automation in HubSpot
- Savings: dormant seats and add-ons nobody checked
A legacy system, an old website, or four portals opened along the way
A legacy site everyone is afraid to touch, a system only one person understands, or several HubSpot accounts opened at different times that nobody works in. First you find the right account (the one with the discount), then you build on it.
- Mapping: what exists, what's in use, what can be switched off
- URL-by-URL redirects, with no traffic lost
- The data moves once, clean
- The team works without the one person who knew
HubSpot in an organization that lives in Microsoft 365
Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Copilot. The CRM doesn't replace them, it connects to them: SharePoint as the operational home, HubSpot as the commercial home, and automations between the two. And if there's no operational home yet, you start there.
- A SharePoint hub with subsites and permissions, instead of folders
- HubSpot connected to Outlook, Teams and the client folder
- Power Automate flows, inside the licenses you already pay for
- An AI assistant that answers from your own content
To monday CRM, when it's the right tool
A team that already lives in monday, simple deals, and marketing that doesn't lean on heavy automation: monday CRM. You set up the pipeline, automations and forms on the same work OS that runs the projects, and connect marketing if and when it's needed.
- A pipeline with real stages and consistent statuses
- Forms and automations: lead in, task opened, reminder out
- Connected to the project boards: from closed deal to active client
- A leadership dashboard: pipeline, lead source, close rate

15+ years in B2B marketing, from global enterprises to high-growth startups. I get into the systems, the data and the automations and build and fix them myself, so the marketing budget turns into a predictable, measurable revenue engine.
