We set up HubSpot or Zoho CRM around how your team actually sells: clean pipelines, automatic lead routing and nurturing that runs without manual reminders.
03Pipeline stages mean different things to different people
What's included
A CRM your team will actually trust.
Scoped to what you need. Most projects use some of these, not all of them. We agree the scope after a short discovery call.
01
CRM setup & configuration
Objects, properties, pipelines and permissions set up around your process. Each deal and lifecycle stage gets clear entry criteria, custom fields are limited to the ones your team actually uses, and user roles decide who sees and edits which records.
02
Lead routing
Assignment rules by territory, source, product or round-robin. Every new lead gets an owner as soon as it arrives, a fallback owner when no rule matches, and an alert by email or team chat so it never waits in a shared inbox.
03
Lead scoring
Fit and engagement criteria that flag sales-ready leads. Fit covers company size, role, region or industry; engagement covers pages viewed, emails opened and forms submitted. The threshold is agreed with sales, so a high score means the same thing to everyone.
04
Nurture workflows
Email sequences for leads that are not ready to buy yet, planned by lifecycle stage or interest. Exit rules stop the sequence the moment a lead replies or books a meeting, so nobody receives a nurture email after they have already spoken to sales.
05
Tasks & follow-up SLAs
Follow-up tasks and reminders created automatically. You set the target response time, the CRM creates a task with a due date for the owner, and overdue leads are escalated to a manager instead of quietly going cold.
06
Sales handoff
Qualification criteria and context passed along with every lead. The rep sees the source, pages visited, form answers and score on one record, so the first conversation starts from what the lead has already told you.
Who it’s for
—B2B and SaaS teams where inbound leads wait for an owner, and nobody can say how long the first reply takes
—Sales teams moving off spreadsheets or a CRM nobody trusts, where every pipeline review starts with questions about the numbers
—Service businesses that need follow-up to happen without reminders, from the first inquiry to the booked appointment
—Founders who bought a CRM license but never finished setting it up
—Marketing teams that generate leads but can’t see what happened to them after the handoff to sales

How it works
Rules decide, so people don’t have to.
01
CaptureEvery inbound lead lands in the CRM with its source intact. Web forms, ads, chat, events and imports all write to the same record instead of separate lists.
02
RouteRules assign an owner and set the lifecycle stage. Leads that match no rule go to a round-robin queue, so nothing waits for someone to decide.
03
Follow upTasks, alerts and nurture sequences start automatically, and stop as soon as the lead replies or books a meeting.

How we deliver it
Four stages, with a clear output at each one.
01Discover
We review your current CRM or spreadsheets, talk to the people who handle leads and trace where a lead goes after it arrives. You get a process map of every source, owner and stage, and the points where leads stall today.
OUTPUT · Process map
02Design
The process map becomes a CRM blueprint: pipelines and stage definitions, required fields, routing and scoring rules, and the nurture logic. You review and approve it before anything is built, while changes are still cheap.
OUTPUT · CRM blueprint
03Implement
We configure the CRM, import and clean existing records, connect your forms and build the workflows. Every rule is tested with sample leads, then the people who use the CRM get a walkthrough and written documentation.
OUTPUT · Configured CRM
04Optimize
Once real leads have moved through the pipeline, we review response times, stage conversion and leads that went cold, then adjust rules and sequences from that data. Monthly support plans are available to keep improving it.

Works best with
One layer is useful. Connected layers compound.
A CRM is only as good as the data flowing into it and the tracking measuring what comes out. Integrations bring every lead in with its context, clean data rules keep the records usable, and conversion tracking shows which sources turn into pipeline rather than just form fills.
The CRM implementation process runs from discovery to design, configuration, data import, training and review. Your sales process and lead sources are mapped first; then pipelines, fields and routing rules are designed and approved, the CRM is configured and connected to your forms, existing data is imported and checked, and the team is trained before go-live. Nevion Labs implements HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Salesforce, Pipedrive and GoHighLevel this way.
CRM implementation cost depends on the number of pipelines, automations, integrations and records to migrate, plus the CRM’s own licence fees. At Nevion Labs, CRM and marketing automation projects start from $1,200 USD, or ₹60,000 for India-based clients. That covers CRM configuration with one pipeline, lead routing with owner alerts, one nurture sequence and training. After a free 20-minute discovery call we send a fixed quote.
Most CRM and marketing automation projects take two to eight weeks. A single pipeline with routing rules and one nurture sequence sits at the shorter end, while several pipelines, a data migration or multiple integrations take longer. The timeline also depends on how quickly access and feedback arrive, and it is set out in the fixed quote before work starts.
Lead scoring is a way of ranking leads by how likely they are to buy, using points for who they are and what they do. Fit points come from details such as role, company size or industry; engagement points come from actions such as visiting the pricing page or requesting a demo. When a lead passes an agreed score, the CRM alerts sales instead of keeping it in nurture.
Automate lead assignment by setting routing rules in the CRM that give every new lead an owner based on agreed criteria. Common rules use territory, industry, product interest, lead score or a round-robin rotation across the team. Each assignment should create a task and alert the owner, with a fallback queue for leads that match no rule, so nothing sits unassigned.
Move from spreadsheets to a CRM by cleaning the data first, then mapping each column to a CRM field and importing in batches you can check. Remove duplicates, standardise formats such as phone numbers and country names, and decide owners and stages before the import. We also migrate from one CRM to another, checking that owners, stages and history arrive correctly before switching over.
CRM implementations usually fail because the team does not use the system, not because the software is wrong. Common causes are a setup that does not match how people actually sell, too many required fields, messy imported data, no clear lead ownership and too little training. Starting from your real process, keeping the setup simple and documenting it for the team avoids most of these problems.
You need a HubSpot or Zoho CRM consultant when the setup involves more than storing contacts, such as lead routing, scoring, automation, integrations or a data migration, and nobody in-house has done it before. A consultant shortens the trial and error and documents the result. We work with HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Salesforce, Pipedrive and GoHighLevel for teams in India and the US.
Yes, HubSpot offers a free CRM for storing contacts, companies and deals, and its paid plans add more automation, reporting and users. Many small teams start on the free version and upgrade when they need workflows such as automated lead routing and nurture sequences. Plan limits change, so check HubSpot’s current pricing; we set up HubSpot on whichever plan fits what you need to automate.
A sales team uses the CRM when it saves them time and matches how they already sell. Keep required fields to a minimum, automate data entry such as lead creation and task reminders, and build views that show each person their own leads and next actions. Every Nevion Labs project ends with a walkthrough for the people who use the CRM daily and written documentation of the setup.
