Background
CoverForce is a B2B InsurTech platform based in New York that provides quote-and-bind API connections for commercial insurance.
Challenges
CoverForce was experiencing significant growing pains as they scaled their platform:
- Their biggest challenge was the complete lack of visibility into customer interactions throughout the entire customer lifecycle. Without a centralized CRM system, valuable opportunities for service, sales approaches, and revenue generation were being lost daily.
- The sales team was spending hours manually submitting the same prospect information to multiple systems, creating bottlenecks that slowed down their ability to serve the growing demand from insurance agencies and carriers. Additionally, their marketing efforts lacked automation, even though the majority of their customer interactions were happening digitally.
This created a domino effect of problems - leads went cold while waiting for responses, follow-ups happened sporadically, and valuable prospects slipped through the cracks during their lengthy B2B sales process.
Solutions
Our HubSpot Expert team designed a three-part implementation strategy to transform CoverForce's revenue operations and create a unified customer experience:
Part 1: Foundation & Infrastructure Setup
- Established proper data architecture with custom properties for their unique business model.
- Embedded HubSpot tracking codes across their Webflow website to capture visitor behavior and lead sources.
- Created custom buyer personas based on their three key segments: insurance agencies, PEOs, and enterprise carriers.
- Built a complete theme and branding system that aligned with their professional InsurTech positioning.
