Investment & next steps
08 / 09
We will implement new functionality incrementally, ensuring a smooth transition. Our focus is on integrating HubSpot with your existing Cognizant data and current workflows, avoiding any disruption to your sales team's daily activities. We will build a robust foundation for future growth.
A dedicated senior consultant from Forbidden will oversee your implementation, acting as your primary point of contact. This ensures consistent guidance and strategic alignment, addressing your concerns about previous onboarding experiences and avoiding fragmented support.
We will establish clear processes and disciplines within HubSpot, building on your current sales motions. This approach ensures your team gains immediate value, moving from reactive to predictive sales, and provides the structure needed to scale from three to ten sales reps efficiently.
By centralising your sales and marketing data, HubSpot becomes your Single Source of Truth. This will provide clear attribution for your marketing efforts, helping you understand what works and what doesn't, and informing future investment decisions without needing a large marketing team.

What happens after 12 months?
We will hold your monthly subscription pricing from the first phase until you cancel. If you later resume beyond this, it would revert to our rate card pricing. Following the initial 12-month term, the Bronze Protection Plan automatically continues on a rolling monthly basis at £190 + VAT per month, unless cancelled in accordance with the agreement terms.
