In the fast-paced property market, an optimised sales process can be the difference between a closed deal and a missed opportunity. Unfortunately, many property companies are stuck with disjointed, manual processes, leading to lost leads, inefficiencies, and, ultimately, lost revenue.
In this blog, we’ll explore the key challenges property companies face in managing their sales processes and how Fuelius’ bespoke HubSpot solutions can help create a streamlined, automated process that drives higher lead conversion and minimises manual effort.
The Challenge: Manual, Inconsistent Sales Processes
Many property companies operate with a fragmented sales process. Leads come in from a variety of sources, and the steps that follow are often chaotic. Sales reps work with spreadsheets, manually assign leads, and flip between different systems, all of which increase the chances of human error, missed responses, and even paperwork inaccuracies.
The lack of a standardised, automated system means sales reps and agents aren’t able to respond quickly, leaving valuable leads unattended for too long. In a market where prospects are often ready to act quickly, this results in no-shows, lost opportunities, and a huge loss of revenue.
The Solution: A Fully Automated Sales Process with HubSpot
At Fuelius, we specialise in creating bespoke HubSpot systems that fully automate your sales process, taking leads from the moment they enter your system, right the way through to closing, with minimal human involvement. Here’s how we do it:
- Automatic Lead Assignment, Without the Guesswork
With HubSpot, we eliminate the need for manual lead assignment, which can be inconsistent and time-consuming. Using round-robin lead rotation and custom logic, we ensure that every lead is assigned to the right sales rep or agent, based on predefined criteria such as:
-Building or plot
-Geography
-Rep availability (taking into account annual leave or scheduled time off)
This happens instantaneously, without any effort from the team. By automating this process, we ensure no lead falls through the cracks, and every enquiry gets the attention it needs, right when it’s needed. - Instant, Personalised Responses and Meeting Booking
Once a lead is assigned, the prospect can receive an immediate, personalised email response, thanks to HubSpot’s built-in email integration with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. What sets this apart from typical auto-responders is the ability to include live diary access in the email, allowing the prospect to:
- Directly book a slot for a call, video meeting (Zoom/Teams), or a face-to-face property viewing with the sales manager or lettings agent.
-Receive automated reminders via SMS or email to reduce no-shows.
This level of personalisation ensures that your leads can act quickly and schedule a meeting without needing to go back and forth, ultimately speeding up the sales process.
- Seamless Access to Property Information
One of the major pain points in the sales process is inaccurate or missing property information. Prospects often receive incomplete or outdated details, leading to confusion and lost trust.
With HubSpot, you can store all relevant documents in one place, including:
- Floor plans
- Brochures
- Pricing and inventory
- Legal documents
We can also integrate with your existing document management systems, ensuring that all communication with prospects includes up-to-date, accurate information, reducing the chances of mistakes.
- Fully Integrated Property Management Systems
At Fuelius, we don’t just rely on HubSpot’s CRM. We’ve built proprietary integrations with Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket, as well as other property management systems. This means that whether you’re pulling in property data or managing your entire sales pipeline, everything is done within one central system.
Our extensive expertise in building these integrations allows us to create custom workflows that work seamlessly with your existing systems, further streamlining your sales process.
Additional Automation to Streamline the Process
- Automated KYC and Credit Checks
A critical step in the sales process is ensuring that tenants or buyers pass KYC (Know Your Customer) and credit reference checks. With HubSpot and our API integrations with KYC partners, we can automate these checks without human involvement. Depending on the result:
- A positive result will move the prospect forward in the sales pipeline.
- A negative result can trigger an automatic rejection or redirect the prospect to a guarantor journey.
This not only reduces manual efforts but ensures that decisions are made quickly, allowing the sales process to progress without delay.
- Automated Payment Links and Task Assignments
When applicable, our system can automatically send out payment links to prospects for holding deposits or other payments. If payment isn’t made within a set timeframe, reminders are triggered. If payment isn’t received after a longer period, the system can automatically reject the tenant, freeing up resources for other prospects.
Additionally, tasks such as follow-up reminders, document requests, or next steps are automatically added to the sales rep’s calendar, ensuring that no steps are missed and the sales process moves smoothly from one stage to the next.
The Final Stage: Tenant Onboarding
Once a deal is closed, the process doesn’t stop there. With a fully integrated HubSpot system, you can create a tenant onboarding pipeline, ensuring that every customer is taken from contracts to keys in a standardised, seamless way. This reduces the likelihood of complaints, improves the tenant’s experience, and allows your team to deliver a consistently high level of service.
The Results: Faster, More Efficient Sales Processes
By implementing a fully automated sales process with HubSpot, property companies can expect:
- More deals closed: Faster response times and automated lead nurturing mean fewer lost leads.
- Access to better data: All communications and interactions are tracked and stored in one place.
- Fewer void properties: Faster lead processing and follow-ups help fill vacant properties quicker.
- Higher ROI: With a streamlined process, you’ll be able to convert more leads with less manual effort, increasing profitability.
Conclusion: Streamline Your Sales Process Today
