Platform Management Retainer

Reporting & Performance Optimization

Reporting & Performance Optimization is a monthly RevOps retainer that keeps your HubSpot reporting trusted and used. We maintain dashboards, reconcile the numbers people dispute, evolve KPIs as the business changes, and retire reports nobody opens. For companies where every leadership meeting starts with an argument about whose number is right.

The problem this solves

Reporting rots in a specific way: dashboards multiply until nobody knows which one is official, a property change silently breaks three reports, marketing and sales present different numbers for the same funnel, and finance keeps its own spreadsheet because the CRM totals never reconcile. Eventually leadership stops asking the portal questions at all, and decisions revert to gut feel plus whoever argues loudest.

How we work

The first cycles establish a single version of the truth: an inventory of existing reports and dashboards, agreement on official KPI definitions, and a rebuilt core dashboard set that leadership, sales, marketing, and service actually open. Metrics get written definitions covering what counts, from which property, filtered how, so disputes end with a lookup instead of a debate.

The ongoing rhythm keeps it true. Monthly checks catch reports broken by portal changes, definitions drifting from usage, and new reporting needs coming from the business. Where numbers disagree with finance or another system, we run the reconciliation and either fix the report or document why the difference is legitimate.

As your questions mature, the reporting follows: new KPIs get proper definitions and views, vanity metrics get retired, and once a quarter we review with leadership whether the dashboards still answer the questions that matter this year, not the ones that mattered when the portal was built.

Deliverables

  • Report and dashboard inventory with an official core set
  • Written KPI definitions with owners
  • Monthly integrity checks and fixes after portal changes
  • Reconciliation against finance and source systems
  • Quarterly KPI review with leadership

What buyers ask before scoping.

Our numbers never match finance. Can you actually fix that?

In most cases yes, because the cause is usually different counting rules rather than broken data: bookings versus invoiced, different date anchors, currency handling. We align definitions where possible and document a reconciliation map where a difference is legitimate. The gaps that remain are policy choices, and we put those in front of you explicitly.

Is building new dashboards part of the retainer?

Yes, within the monthly hour band: new reports, new dashboards, and KPI additions are normal cycle work. A full analytics build-out, like an attribution overhaul or wiring HubSpot into a data warehouse, is a separate project. The retainer then maintains what the project ships.

What HubSpot tier do we need for good reporting?

The custom report builder and higher dashboard limits come with Professional tiers, and that is where most of this work happens. In the first cycle we map your reporting questions against what your current tier supports, and tell you specifically what an upgrade would unlock for your questions rather than in the abstract.
