Hi I’m trying to sort out my company’s hubspot, here is the scenario, I hope someone can help or point me somewhere: They have the Marketing subscription. 10 users Using it since 2016 About 30k records Is there a best practice way to adapt or refine current database so that the business development team could use it in a more integrated way with the marketing data. E.g. tags created by marketing team which the BD team can use for leads, using Properties effectively etc. I realise this is quite a broad question, I guess I’m looking for examples where the data collected by marketing activities can be tagged and searchable for the BD team to find opportunities. Hope I’ve made sense! Thanks in advance. ---
