CASE STUDY
How Pinnacle Projects Succeed with GTM
Discover how Pinnacle Builders, Inc. transformed their design/build remodeling business in Boulder, Colorado.
The Challenge
1
Inconsistent Project Pipeline
Over-reliance on seasonal referrals and unpredictable word-of-mouth marketing created significant fluctuations in their high-value remodeling projects throughout the year.
2
Communication Gaps During Projects
Despite their quality craftsmanship, homeowners reported feeling uncertain about project timelines and milestones, impacting client satisfaction and future referral opportunities.
3
Limited Sales Pipeline Visibility
Without a systematic approach to tracking potential projects, the team frequently missed critical follow-up opportunities with qualified homeowners ready to invest in major renovations.
4
Inefficient Business Systems
Their reliance on basic spreadsheets and manual email tracking hindered their ability to manage complex remodeling projects and scale their premium design-build services.
The Solution
1
CRM Implementation and Customization
  • Go First implemented and customized HubSpot specifically for Pinnacle Builders' remodeling workflow, creating a seamless digital ecosystem for project management.
  • Strategic automated workflows were established to qualify leads, trigger timely follow-ups, and maintain consistent client engagement throughout the sales process.
2
Client Communication Enhancements
  • Personalized email sequences were crafted to guide homeowners through each milestone, from initial design consultation to final project walkthrough.

  • A structured sales pipeline was developed with clear stage definitions, empowering the team to convert more leads through systematic follow-up and engagement.
4
Data-Driven Marketing
  • Advanced HubSpot analytics were deployed to track and analyze website interactions, enabling the sales team to identify high-intent prospects and personalize their outreach.
  • Smart lead scoring was implemented to prioritize prospects based on specific behaviors - for instance, identifying serious bathroom remodeling prospects by monitoring content engagement and form submissions.
