The Challenge

Common sales pipeline automation challenges facing professional services businesses.

Partners managing business development informally with no shared visibility into the firm's pipeline

Proposals sent and then forgotten because fee-earning work takes priority over follow-up

Cross-sell opportunities missed because partners work in silos and do not know what other teams offer

No data on win rates by service line, making it impossible to set realistic growth targets

Implementation

How we implement sales pipeline automation for your professional services business.

Structure the Business Development Pipeline

Define pipeline stages for professional services: lead identified, initial meeting booked, needs assessment completed, proposal sent, negotiation, engagement letter signed. Map these to your CRM and ensure all partners and business development staff use the same process.

✓ Tools: HubSpot, LEAP, Make

Automate Proposal Follow-Up

Configure follow-up sequences triggered by proposal delivery. Schedule a partner call three days after proposal submission, send a check-in email at one week, and escalate to the managing partner if no response is received within two weeks.

✓ Tools: HubSpot, Make, Gmail

Pipeline Revenue Forecasting

Build forecasts using historical win rates by service line, deal size, and referral source. Generate weekly pipeline reports for management meetings showing expected new business revenue by quarter.

✓ Tools: Google Sheets, HubSpot, Make

Cross-Sell Opportunity Detection

Automatically identify cross-sell opportunities when existing clients are only using one service line. Trigger alerts to the relationship partner when a tax client might benefit from advisory services or when a conveyancing client needs estate planning.

✓ Tools: HubSpot, Slack, Make
