Coaching, not implementation — we guide, their team builds and owns what gets built.
Engagement begins on lead scoring.
Three foundations locked in the same month — the fit model, the Salesforce integration architecture, and the lead-stage vocabulary agreed with the SDR team.
A second coaching track opens on buyer intent. A company-level buyer-intent score is built and goes live.
A full review of the score and its supporting segments delivered; the weekly review is running in production and their team is tuning the score itself.
They could see interest, but had no agreed way to read it. The question of what level to even score at — the account, the product, the signal — had been open since February, and while it stayed open no scoring work could settle. Different parts of the organisation were building toward different answers at the same time.
Marketing and the SDR team did not share a vocabulary. The lead stages in use had been designed for a different working pattern than the one the SDR team actually ran, so a lead changing stage did not reliably mean the same thing to the person who sent it and the person who received it.
And the sellers do not work where the scoring does. The SDR team lives in Salesforce, not HubSpot. Anything built on the marketing side risked being real, correct and completely invisible to the people whose job it was to act on it.
The scoring question stopped being open. A decision that had sat unresolved since February became a working answer running on real products, which unblocked every piece of work that had been waiting behind it.
Signals now have a path to the people who act on them. Designing the Salesforce route deliberately — rather than assuming the sellers would come to the marketing tool — is the difference between a score that informs a decision and a score nobody sees.
And the work moved inside their team. The score is theirs to run: their own people operate the weekly review, and have gone in and reconfigured scoring rules between sessions without us — capping a repeating signal so it counts once in a window rather than accumulating from repetition. That is the outcome the coaching shape was chosen for.
Jack Henry’s marketing team could see buying signals but had no agreed way to score them or get them in front of sellers who work in Salesforce — so we settled the scoring model, the lead-stage vocabulary and the Salesforce path, and their own team now runs the score weekly and tunes it themselves.
