How To Bulk-Standardize Industries for Contacts and Companies In HubSpot

Post by Raihan145 »

You dive into your CRM, only to find a mess of industry entries: "Technology," "Tech," “Software,” "Information Technology," and a dozen more variations. While these all represent the same sector, their differing formats create significant headaches. This is the reality for many HubSpot teams dealing with non-standardized industry classifications, and it’s a much bigger issue than it seems on the surface.

When industry classifications aren’t standardized, personalization stockholder database becomes a nightmare. Tailoring communications to specific sectors is key to effective marketing and sales strategies. However, with so many variations, ensuring that your messaging reaches the right companies in the right way is nearly impossible. Non-standardized industries lead to inconsistent and impersonal customer interactions, reducing engagement and potentially losing valuable leads.

Effective segmentation also relies on clean, standardized data. When industries vary wildly, creating targeted segments becomes an uphill battle. Your carefully crafted segments lose their precision, and the effectiveness of your campaigns diminishes. Instead of hitting the bullseye, you’re throwing darts blindfolded, hoping something sticks.

Accurate reporting is the backbone of strategic planning and performance measurement. Non-standardized industries wreak havoc on reports, leading to inconsistent data that can misguide your strategies.

With unstandardized industries for both HubSpot contacts and companies, many critical tasks across your organization become more difficult.
