Implementation stages

Stages are the major steps in the HubSpot implementation, essential for its success.
To finish a given project phase, all associated milestones and tasks must be completed.

Milestones

Significant events within a project that mark the completion of key tasks and are always correlated with specific results or deliverables.

 

Tasks

Specific activities that must be completed to achieve a milestone. 

 

01. Planning

The Planning Stage builds a shared understanding of objectives between us and you, and sets the framework for smooth execution. It reduces risks, clarifies expectations, and ensures all your team members are prepared for delivery.

02. Discovery

The Discovery Stage focuses on building a deep understanding of your current business processes, challenges, and requirements. This ensures that HubSpot is not only technically implemented but also strategically aligned with business objectives. By analyzing "as-is" processes and designing the "to-be" model, we create a clear roadmap for HubSpot configuration that delivers measurable value.

Change can be intimidating, and it takes time—for you and your team. Your sales reps, marketers, and customer care agents won't master HubSpot overnight.

That's why we stick around until you're truly ready to take over, not just until the contract ends. This "hypercare" phase is your window to ask questions, tweak the setup, and smooth out any rough edges.

Included

HyperCare

The first two weeks are critical—that's when your team starts using the system and asks questions specific to your setup.

HyperCare gives you direct access to our team when answers and adjustments matter most. We help you drive user adoption, build user confidence, and fine-tune your portal for a smooth transition after go-live. 

What’s included?

  • Clarification Requests (standard priority)
  • Q&A sessions and quick training refreshers
  • Usage checks and documentation
  • Small improvements to polish the setup

What’s not covered

  • Everything beyond maintaining the components deployed during the implementation
Included

The 6Minded Guarantee

We stand by everything we build. The 6Minded Guarantee ensures any solution, workflow, or automation we implement in your HubSpot portal works as originally intended—for the full duration of your active HubSpot license.

During this time, we maintain ongoing access to your HubSpot portal to verify and resolve issues quickly. Applies only to unmodified 6Minded-built solutions.

What’s included?

  • Solutions implemented directly by 6Minded, as originally scoped
  • Full bug fixing and issue resolution at no additional cost
  • Fixes do not consume your support hours or retainer time

What’s not covered

  • Client-side edits (e.g., modified workflows, deleted objects)
  • License downgrades (e.g., Enterprise → Pro)
  • Changes introduced by HubSpot or third parties

Additional support plans.

FAQ

All you need to know before starting your HubSpot project with 6Minded.

What stops this project from going over budget or over the timeline? What happens if the scope changes halfway through?
What happens if we're not happy with the implementation? Is there a guarantee, or do we just eat the cost?
How disruptive is the implementation to our day-to-day operations while it's happening?
If Discovery reveals the scope is bigger than expected, do we get the option to phase it instead of paying more upfront?
If we don't buy a support plan after HyperCare, are we on our own for everything, or does the Guarantee still protect us?
How is this framework different from what other HubSpot partners offer? Isn't "planning, discovery, setup, training, go-live" just standard project management?
What's the most common thing that goes wrong with this framework, and how do you catch it early?
Who on our side needs to sit in the room and who can just review documents?
What happens if the stakeholder we need isn't available during a workshop? Does the whole timeline slip?
Who decides what counts as "done" for a milestone, us or you?
What if our team gives conflicting input during the Business Process Workshops?
What happens if the "Initial MVP Demo" doesn't match what we actually asked for?
How do you know training actually worked and people aren't just sitting through sessions?
Are we going to end up with AI tools our team doesn't understand or trust enough to actually use?
