What is the difference between CRM and RevOps consulting?
CRM consulting focuses on the technology platform — choosing, implementing, and optimizing a system like Salesforce or HubSpot. RevOps consulting is broader: it aligns marketing, sales, and customer success on shared definitions, shared data, and shared metrics, with CRM as the operational backbone. We do both, because the platform without the operating model fails predictably.
Do you work with Salesforce or HubSpot?
Both. We are platform-agnostic by design. Most engagements start with a platform-fit assessment: HubSpot suits scale-ups and SMB-to-mid-market motions; Salesforce suits complex enterprise and regulated industries. We help clients choose, implement, and operate the right platform — not sell them one.
How long does a typical CRM implementation take?
A focused HubSpot implementation for a scale-up runs 6 to 12 weeks. A mid-market Salesforce implementation runs 4 to 9 months depending on integrations, data migration, and process redesign. Enterprise rollouts extend further. We scope every engagement against a measurable revenue outcome, not a feature checklist.
What does a RevOps engagement include?
A RevOps engagement typically covers four areas: data architecture and governance, the end-to-end customer journey across marketing, sales, and success, metric and KPI design with shared definitions, and the automation and AI layer that turns the CRM into a system of action rather than a system of record.
Do you offer training as part of the engagement?
Yes. We are the authors of CRM Fundamentals: From Strategy to Execution, a complete professional curriculum. Every implementation includes role-based enablement for the teams who will use the system — because the failure mode of CRM is not technical, it is adoption.
Where are you based and who do you serve?
CRMLab is based in Europe and serves clients across Europe and North America. Our work spans scale-ups, mid-market, and enterprise. We deliver remotely with on-site presence for kickoff, design workshops, and go-live.
How is CRMLab different from a Salesforce or HubSpot partner agency?
Most platform partners are incentivized to sell more licenses and more configuration. We are incentivized to make your revenue operation work. We will recommend not implementing a feature, switching platforms, or simplifying a process whenever that is the right answer. The book we authored is a public statement of that philosophy.
