RedPandas×Convai
HubSpot scope for Convai · September 2026

Revive the HubSpot you already own.

Get Convai off spreadsheets and onto a connected pipeline in three months. Milestoned, so you see the value each month before we move on.

Prepared for Mike Banbrook, CEO · Convai
For the platform call with Rohan (CTO) and Beck Kraut (Marketing)
By Moby Siddique · RedPandas Digital
One decision, resolved

Option A — Revive HubSpot

12 months signed, 6 already paid. Site already built on HubSpot CMS. It needs configuring, not replacing.
Our recommendation

Option B — Salesforce bolt-on

The Innovia-style embed already stalled for Convai. Pipeline still runs on a desktop spreadsheet. More time, more spend, same wall.

Where Convai is today

You are paying for HubSpot and running the business on a spreadsheet.

1

No Convai pipeline, no line of sight

Convai deals ride inside Probe CX deals and disappear. No clean way to show traction.

Revenue visibility is a black box
2

No attribution or predictability

No way to tell if the $300k performance budget is working. No baselines, no cost per lead, no cost per acquisition.

Can't defend next year's spend
3

Forms aren't plugged in

Enquiries generate an email and land in a spreadsheet. No routing, no lifecycle, no autoresponders.

Double entry, dropped leads
Same root cause: nothing is connected.
What we are actually building

Three outcomes, not a list of features.

The surface problems are real. Underneath them sit the three things a working CRM gives a leadership team. This is what "fit for purpose" means for Convai.

"How do we get sales, marketing and CS working from one place?"

Seamless adoption

The team lives in the system, not visits it. Processes designed so there is no friction to using it.

"How do I know what is working before my next leadership meeting?"

Performance predictability

Baselines, source attribution and cost per lead behind the $300k, so spend is a decision and not a guess.

"How do we get more from the leads and customers we already have?"

Hidden revenue

Nurture, cross-sell and signal-based follow-up on pipeline that used to vanish. It comes quickly once the basics are set.

All of it points at one thing: unquestionable execution certainty.
The three-month runway

You approve once. You see a drop every month.

This is a modular onboarding, not a band-aid. Each month ends with something you can hold us to, and a gate you clear before we move on. Nothing gets built that your team can't use.

1
MONTH ONE · FOUNDATIONS & CAPTURE

Every enquiry captured, and the pipeline shape agreed.

We run the scoping sessions and map the customer journey, then design and agree the deal architecture: the product catalogue (Oration Voice, Chat and Insights, with one-off and monthly fees and CS tiers) and the pipeline shape, with Direct / Reseller / Probe BPO as labels. In parallel we get the tactical basics live: forms plugged into HubSpot, lead routing and lifecycle stages set, autoresponders on, and the Convai site journey fixed (contact-us versus book-a-demo).

Month-1 milestone
Every new enquiry captured, routed and acknowledged in HubSpot — no more email-and-hope, no more double entry. The pipeline shape is agreed on paper, ready to build, so you can take the confirmed shape to Rohan while your interim dashboard keeps running.
2
MONTH TWO · OFF SPREADSHEETS

Off the spreadsheet, onto a real pipeline.

We build the pipeline, migrate deals off the spreadsheet and take the product catalogue live. Then we stand up source attribution behind the $300k: symposium, roundtable, cold-call, direct, plus last-click for paid.

Month-2 milestone
A live pipeline-shape report for the ELT, off the spreadsheet and in HubSpot — the thing Rohan and the leadership meeting need. Beck can put a number and a source against the $300k, and defend the spend to ELT and the board.
3
MONTH THREE · TRUST THE DATA

Reporting the leadership team can lean on.

Month-on-month delta reporting and 90-day stagnation alerts, the contacts and roles architecture, per-product revenue scheduling, and NPS automation. We also confirm and, if in scope, bring Tridents onto a Convai seat to close the data and compliance gap.

Month-3 milestone
The month-on-month comparison senior management is fixated on, running on real snapshots instead of a spreadsheet's best guess.
Your wish list, mapped

Every one of your seven asks has a home.

Nothing on your list was an impossibility. Here is where each lands, and how we have prioritised it against your own steer on the call.

#AskWhenPriority
1 Product catalogue & pricingOration line items, one-off + transactional fees, CS tiers, contract terms. Months 1–2 Must-have
2 Direct vs reseller dealsChannel classification by label, reseller + end-customer link, code-name confidentiality. Month 1 Must-have
3 Parent-child with Probe BPOLink Convai deals to Probe master deals, keep Convai MRR isolated. Month 3 Nice-to-have
4 Pipeline & forecastingPipeline shape first, then weighted forecasts split by revenue type + attribution. Months 2–3 Must-have
5 Contacts & lifecycleAccount roles, cross-company links, job-change history, automated annual NPS. Month 3 Why you chose HubSpot
6 Per-product revenue schedulingValue, start date and term tracked per product line item. Month 3 Becomes essential
7 Delta & trend reporting30/90-day snapshots, MoM movement, 90-day stagnation alerts. Month 3 Most important
The boundary

In scope, and what we confirm together first.

We fix the boundary in the scoping sessions so nothing surprises anyone at month two. The right-hand column is periphery: real value, but we agree it in before it counts.

In scope

  • The seven asks above, phased across the runway
  • Forms, lead routing and lifecycle architecture
  • Source attribution behind the $300k
  • Pipeline, forecasting and executive dashboards
  • Customer journey map and stakeholder scoping
  • Change management for a lean team: you, Scott and Dan

Confirm in scoping

  • Tridents onto a Convai HubSpot seat — the compliance and PI gap is the hook
  • Microsite / Quilla proposal gating, with click tracked as a deal signal
  • Phenom and recruitment-CRM questions — a separate future piece
  • Anything that grows past "brilliant basics" into optimisation
How we work

Scope it properly, then move fast.

Two to three scoping sessions

With you, Scott and Tridents, and an overlap with Beck. We map perfect-world, then ring-fence what actually moves the needle in three months. In-scope and out-of-scope, agreed in writing.

Monthly gates

You approve the three months once. Each month ends with a drop and a gate. If a month does not land, we do not roll forward as if it did.

Same team, start to finish

Continuity with the people already delivering next door on Probe CX. No re-briefing, no agency fatigue. Change management pitched at a team of three, not thirty.

Commercial

One commitment, released against milestones.

A three-month engagement, billed monthly. Each release is tied to the drop clearing its gate, so investment tracks delivery.

MONTH 1 · FOUNDATIONS & CAPTURE
$15,000
Released on scoping, journey and enquiry capture live.
MONTH 2 · OFF SPREADSHEETS
$15,000
Released on the live pipeline and attribution.
MONTH 3 · TRUST THE DATA
$14,000
Released on delta reporting and the contacts build.

Total: $44,000 + GST, across three monthly milestones. Pricing amounts and cadence can be adjusted, as long as the project is fully paid within three months of kickoff. Scope confirmed in the first sessions. Periphery items are quoted separately if they come into scope, so the core price stays clean.

Next steps

What happens from here.

  1. Rohan gets his answer. Mike confirms to Rohan that HubSpot is the path and there are no red flags. Beck lines up the spend commitment alongside it.
  2. Scott walks the detail. While Mike is on leave, we take Scott through exactly what is included, module by module. He is empowered to push forward.
  3. Monday check-in. Beck and Mike regroup with Rohan on Monday. We hold the scoping-session slots ready.
  4. Target start: mid-October. Scoping on Mike's return, build straight after. Serious ground covered before year end, then resume in the new year.
