Expert-Vetted on Upwork (top 1%) and a HubSpot Platinum Partner. Most HubSpot builds look clean and get ignored. The CRM is beautiful, the team doesn't open it, and leadership doesn't trust the numbers. That's the problem I fix. I connect HubSpot to the systems that actually run your business, and build AI agents that sit on top. I'm a fit when there's a real problem to solve: an ERP that won't talk to HubSpot, data nobody trusts, inbound your team can't keep up with, or a previous partner who left it worse than they found it. If you need a basic setup with no process problem underneath, I'll tell you that on the first message and point you somewhere better. // What actually happened on real projects Cooney Brothers runs Eclipse ERP. Their migration had stalled for a year under a partner who claimed they'd integrated with Eclipse before. We took it over and finished the data integration in 2 months, over the holidays. Their words: "ProfitPad dove head-first into our antiquated ERP and found creative ways to capture hard-to-get-at data." EvaluAgent came to us with a deal flow problem. We redesigned the pipeline, added automation and ownership guardrails, and cut their sales cycle by 30%. They hired us again before the first project closed. ENTR had no GTM infrastructure. We mapped their full sales process, integrated Apollo, and automated HubSpot end-to-end. $2M+ in pipeline within weeks of go-live. Asaar Medical needed a full CRM build. Their last agency quoted 60 to 90 days. We did it in 3 weeks. Their words: "By far the best team out there." Fairbank Equipment needed Eclipse connected to HubSpot end to end, quote and order data flowing both ways. Shipped clean. // Why most implementations fail HubSpot is not a software problem. It's a process problem with a software layer on top. Skip discovery, go straight to configuration, and you get a system that looks right but doesn't match how your team actually sells. Nobody uses it. Nothing changes. We do structured discovery before we touch anything. We find where deals actually drop, and map what leadership thinks is happening against what the data shows. Most clients learn in week one that the problem they hired us to solve isn't the real problem. Then we build. And before we hand anything off, we run HubSpot as if we're your reps. We test every workflow the way a rep would use it, find the friction, and fix it before it becomes yours. Most agencies never do this. It's exactly why adoption fails. // How it works Fixed fee. Phased delivery. One dedicated certified consultant from kickoff to handoff, not a team, not a junior. Full documentation at the end so your team owns the system and doesn't need us to run it. Projects typically run $5K to $25K depending on scope and HubSpot tier. ERP integrations and multi-system builds price separately. Send me a message with what you're trying to fix. I'll tell you within 24 hours if we're the right fit. If we're not, I'll tell you that too. --- HubSpot CRM expert HubSpot RevOps HubSpot audit HubSpot cleanup HubSpot onboarding HubSpot automation CRM setup HubSpot workflows HubSpot for startups SaaS RevOps Revenue Operations HubSpot dashboards HubSpot migration HubSpot lifecycle stages HubSpot sales pipeline HubSpot sales HubSpot optimization HubSpot revamp HubSpot setup

I take a direct approach to stalled growth, weak retention, and the hidden friction that makes businesses harder to scale than they should be. If growth has slowed or stalled, the problem is rarely effort. More often, it is weak funnels, mismatched positioning, unclear offers, underperforming follow-up, poor handoffs, CRM drag, or too much activity with too little commercial return. I help growth-focused companies find what is actually slowing momentum, then fix the right things first. You will get a clear view of what is working, what is not, and what needs attention now. For clients who want a sharp starting point, I offer a Revenue Leak Snapshot: a focused review of one offer, funnel path, customer journey, or follow-up system to uncover missed conversions, weak handoffs, and the highest-value next moves. Most clients start here. You get a clear breakdown of where performance is breaking and what to fix first, not a long report that sits untouched. In addition I can step in as your Fractional CMO and senior client strategy consultant. I have 15+ years of experience across SaaS, logistics, ecommerce, nonprofit, fintech, and other growth-focused businesses. My work sits across revenue growth, retention, lifecycle marketing, CRM, marketing operations, and AI where it actually improves speed, clarity, and execution. I build the systems underneath growth: cleaner processes, stronger funnels, sharper follow-up, and, where useful, AI-supported workflows that improve productivity without adding noise. Sometimes the issue is weak positioning attracting the wrong leads. Sometimes retention slips because the follow-up and customer journey are underbuilt. Sometimes the CRM and automation stack is underused, overcomplicated, or quietly working against the team. And sometimes it is simpler: too many moving parts, not enough clarity, and no one fixing the actual source of the drag. I don’t mistake activity for strategy. I build the structure underneath growth so the business is not forever improvising its way through the same problems. Recent results: • 333% increase in qualified leads for a SaaS company • 47% revenue lift for a B2B firm • 40% increase in leads • 24% improvement in conversion following a strategic repositioning initiative I’ve worked deeply with HubSpot, Pardot, Marketo, Eloqua, and SharpSpring — from platform selection through implementation, training, and execution. Clients value that I can see the strategic picture and still get into the operational detail when needed. One described me as having “a foot in both the marketing and technology camps.” Another noted my “laser focus on delivering customer value.” I work best with companies that want clarity, traction, and less performative nonsense. When growth has become muddled, execution is not matching ambition, or the business has outgrown guesswork, I help make growth make sense again.

Hi, I’m Luke, a fundraising professional with 10+ years of helping nonprofits grow their revenue, build real donor relationships, and run fundraising programs that actually work. I currently serve as the Head of Individual Giving at the Vancouver Art Gallery, where I lead major gift strategy, donor experience, and revenue growth across individual supporters. Before that, I worked with a range of nonprofits in the arts, environmental, and social sectors, both in-house and as a consultant. My specialty is stepping into an organization, assessing what needs attention first, and putting practical fundraising systems in place. I can help with strategy, donor engagement, and the hands-on work needed to bring in funding, no fluff, no buzzwords for the sake of it. What I do well: Major Gifts & Donor Strategy Building and managing relationships with high-value donors and moving them toward greater giving. Campaign & Annual Giving Programs From digital fundraising to year-end appeals and donor journeys, I create campaigns that resonate and deliver. Donor Communications Clear, compelling messaging for proposals, cases for support, impact updates, and stewardship, written for humans, not robots. Pipeline & CRM Optimization Organizing donor portfolios, reporting progress, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Whether you need someone to lead strategy, boost your major gifts program, or build better systems, I aim to make fundraising feel simpler and more effective, not overwhelming. If you’re looking for a partner who understands donors, cares about good storytelling, and can help you reach ambitious revenue goals, I’d love to chat. Let’s build something meaningful together. Luke
