About | Empowering Care Through Innovation

Care.com, launched in 2007, has grown to become the world’s largest online marketplace for family care services, including childcare, senior care, and special needs support. Its mission is to improve the lives of families and caregivers by connecting them in reliable and straightforward ways. While recognized predominantly in the consumer sector, Care.com aimed to expand its footprint in the B2B market, enhancing its offerings to small and medium businesses (SMBs).

Challenge | Scaling B2B Services Efficiently

Despite its consumer market success, Care.com faced significant hurdles in scaling its B2B services. The sales and marketing teams struggled with outdated tools that hindered effective engagement with prospects. The lack of real-time data and the inability to track interactions meant that sales reps could not act swiftly on leads, impacting sales efficiency and overall growth in the B2B domain.

Solution | Implementing HubSpot for Integrated Sales and Marketing

To overcome these challenges, Care.com adopted HubSpot’s integrated platforms, including the Sales Hub and Marketing Hub. This solution provided the sales team with real-time notifications about prospect activities, such as email opens and website visits, allowing for timely and relevant follow-ups. Simultaneously, the marketing team leveraged HubSpot to run cohesive campaigns and measure their impact effectively, ensuring both teams worked in tandem towards common goals.

Implementation | Enhancing Agility and Effectiveness

The implementation of HubSpot’s tools marked a significant transformation in how Care.com’s sales and marketing teams operated. With 24 sales reps using HubSpot Sales Notifications, the team became more agile, responding to potential prospects while the interaction was still fresh. This immediacy helped reduce the number of calls and messages needed to engage a lead, thereby speeding up the sales process and enhancing productivity.

Outcome | Higher Conversion Rates and Streamlined Operations

Post-implementation, Care.com witnessed a notable improvement in response rates and sales conversions. Sales reps could A/B test their email strategies using real-time feedback, allowing them to refine their approaches and enhance engagement effectiveness. Additionally, the integration of sales and marketing on a single platform fostered stronger alignment between the two teams, crucial for driving B2B sales.

Conclusion | A Synchronized Future for Sales and Marketing

With HubSpot’s comprehensive tools, Care.com has established a robust framework for its B2B operations, setting a new standard for efficiency and collaboration within the healthcare marketplace. The synergy between sales and marketing not only simplified internal processes but also positioned Care.com to achieve sustained growth and success in the competitive B2B sector. This strategic enhancement of their work cadence has laid the groundwork for ongoing advancements and continued leadership in global healthcare services.

“It’s so important to have synergies between sales and marketing because they’re so reliant on each other. Having a strong relationship is vital to any B2B entity. And it gets easier when you’re using one system like HubSpot's”
- Elizabeth Tutscheck, Director of Marketing, Care.com
