A Single Point of Truth

Unify Your Systems

With automated workflows and custom integrations spanning solutions like Salesforce, Airtable, ChatGPT, Meta, and ecommerce, HubSpot enables businesses like Dobson Fiber to unify data, eliminate silos, and drive operational efficiency. By consolidating key systems into one cohesive platform, teams gain clearer visibility, faster execution, and more informed decision-making. This centralized approach not only improves internal alignment but also enhances the customer experience at every stage of the journey.

The Foundation: A Connected CRM and a Team Ready to Use It

The earlier phase of Dobson Fiber's work with Second Mile centered on HubSpot Marketing Professional. Separate marketing, sales, and customer service systems had created data silos, incomplete customer profiles, duplicated effort, and inconsistent messaging.

Second Mile integrated Salesforce and ecommerce with HubSpot to centralize customer data, then built automated workflows for timely, personalized lead nurturing. A custom data structure supported Dobson's reporting needs. Extensive team training and detailed standard operating procedures helped the team use the platform effectively.

That initial rollout reported 100% team adoption and a 37.5% reduction in disparate software systems and technical debt. The later Enterprise and Content Hub work described below built on that foundation as Dobson expanded into new markets.

Challenge

Dobson Fiber's rapid market expansion exposed critical bottlenecks threatening revenue and customer experience. Their customer data lived across disconnected systems: an ecommerce system, Salesforce for zones, and ServiceNow for service tracking. Each held different customer information versions, creating fragmented views that made informed decisions impossible.

Manual lifecycle processes required weekly CSV uploads and hand-built reports to move contacts from presale to active status. This consumed critical resources and created failure points where customers could fall through cracks during the crucial 10-14 day installation waiting period.

The company's first presale program lacked supporting infrastructure. Without systematic customer nurturing during installation waits, buyers experienced remorse or sought alternatives. Meta advertising costs hovered near $0.90 per click, with one rival ISP triggering 4,500 bot lookups in a weekend, skewing analytics. Prospects received only single email/SMS communications—no nurture sequences or re-engagement logic.

Solution

Second Mile positioned HubSpot Marketing Hub Enterprise and Content Hub website as the central nervous system, creating sophisticated API integrations handling Dobson Fiber's complex technology stack while ensuring real-time data synchronization. This was achieved through a strategic Road Map - outlining all customer touchpoints and included deep discovery around the website user experience.

Core Integration Framework:

• Uni-directional sync between HubSpot APIs and Dobson's ecommerce platform for order status and customer data in near real-time

• Salesforce ↔ HubSpot integration synchronizes zone IDs and service area data

• Custom "Passings" object holds address-level serviceability, eliminating spreadsheet lookups

• Redesigned HubSpot CMS website powered by Sprocket Rocket's Professional theme for easy content updates, a seamless user experience, and powerful user behavior insights

Advanced Automation:

• Programmatic workflows integrate with Abstract API for real-time email/phone validation

• Automated presale-to-customer transitions ensure no one falls through cracks

Seven AI Touchpoints:

1. ChatGPT-4 creates video scripts, SMS variants, and personalized email copy

2. HubSpot AI Image Generator produces on-brand visuals for campaigns

3. Email Subject Line & Preview AI auto-tests variations maximizing opens

4. Hedra AI Video transforms scripts into talking-head content averaging $0.06 CPC

5. ATAB Loop (Airtable + Zapier + GPT-4) converts reviews into social proof content

6. Operations Hub AI Data Quality detects and fixes malformed contacts before workflow entry

7. HubSpot AI Reporting auto-summarizes dashboards and complex automations
