I've been using Hubspot for some months now but I keep struggling to get a good dashboard to monitor my Propection outreach.
What I would like to monitor on a weekly basis is:
- how many people were sent a 1st email
- how many people were sent a 2nd email
- how many people did I call (1st call)
- how many people did I call for the 2nd time
- how many people were sent a video mail (vidyard)
- how many people are scheduling a demo
- how many people scheduled a demo
This I want to follow up on a weekly basis as a KPI. We put some targets, e.g. mail 50 new prospects/week, call 15 people/week, etc. See below dashboard:
There are no dashboards or analytics tools that cover this.
One option is to work with Deals and make multiple Deal stages. But this creates too many deals, deal stages and is not workable.
My current way of working is to make contact properties and set these manually to yes once I've sent a mail or made a call. This is work-intensive but I can manage it.
The problem is that the statistics are not correct. I set up my dashboards with below settings
But when I get - for example - a Task which is due today and the 'mail 1 sent' is set to Yes from last week; I get a +1 on this contact. So again, this week I get a 'mail 1 sent', since any update on the contact card (task, note, adding contact info, ...) counts as an activity.
I've checked this during Hubspot onboarding and also with the Support team of Hubspot but nobody seems to have a solution.
Does anybody here hava a solution?
I guess I'm not the only one monitoring outreach and specific effort monitoring concering prospecting?
I know there is an Acitivies dashboard (screenshot below) but this does not give detailed information or show me the difference between mail1/mail2/... etc.
I'd recommend looking at this from a different angle. If you're trying to answer these exact questions, unfortunately that will require a lot of custom properties and workflows. Some of it might not be possible.
However, if your outreach is to previously uncontacted contacts, you could leverage the below contact properties, as they'd starting counting at 0.
Number of times contacted: the total number of times the contact received a sales email, received a call, or had a chat conversation.
Date of last meeting booked in meetings tool: the date of the meeting that is booked the farthest out from the current date. For example, if a meeting is booked for December 1st, and another meeting is booked for December 7th, the property value will appear as December 7th.
Recent sales email open date: the date of the last time that the contact opened a sales email. This property does not update for emails that were sent to more than one contact.
Number of sales activities: the total number of sales activities (notes, calls, emails, meetings, tasks, or chats) logged for the contact.
Additionally, you could leverage the Lifecycle stage and Lead status properties to keep track of your progress. In combination with the above properties, you'd see how many contacts you were able to warm up / convert.
The types and success rate of emails that you're sending (Intro, Vidyard etc.) could be analyzed via templates.

Hi @NLagrou , As you yourself said that you have to craete the properties and then manual update it. This is the workaround I can suggest because what you want is not possbile with the reports. Reports gives you total activity done by a sales rep but not how many times you have made call or sent emails.
Hope this helps!
