Case Study

Every lead captured and tracked in HubSpot, from first inquiry to payout

Capital Car Finance, a UK car finance broker, tracked deals in spreadsheets and used only part of its HubSpot. We rebuilt HubSpot from first inquiry to payout and moved deal and commission reporting into it. Since then we have added stable lead capture, two AI agents and ad data on every deal.

The situation

Capital Car Finance helps customers across the UK find car finance. Leads come from paid ads and a quote calculator on its website. The team worked in HubSpot Sales Hub Enterprise, but the setup did not match how they sell.

  • Lead intake was complex and broke easily, so some inquiries never reached a salesperson
  • Inquiries and real opportunities sat on one record, so it was hard to see what to work on next
  • Each salesperson used different email sequences
  • Deals, revenue and commissions were tracked in a spreadsheet, so every report took manual work

How we approached it

1
Scope and workshop
A scoping document from the client’s brief, then a workshop with the sales team to agree pipeline stages, rules and required fields. November 2025.
2
Build in a sandbox
Lead and deal pipelines, round-robin assignment, email sequences and dealer records, built in a HubSpot sandbox while the team kept working in the live portal. Two weeks.
3
Training and hypercare
Live training, a recorded walkthrough and a tutorials dashboard, then two weeks of hypercare with weekly team reviews. December 2025.
4
AI agents
A WhatsApp agent for new leads and a voice agent for leads marked uncontactable, both connected to HubSpot. January 2026.
5
Stable lead capture
An automation reads finance application emails and creates the contact in HubSpot, so a calculator timeout no longer loses applications. February 2026.
6
Ongoing improvements
A simpler deal pipeline, automatic cleanup of stale leads and deals, and ad data on every lead and deal. May to July 2026.

What we built.

  • Leads and deals apart

    Every inquiry is a lead with an owner assigned by round robin. Sending the quote email turns it into a deal, so the team sees what to work on next.

  • Stages that move on their own

    Logging a call, sending a template or receiving a full application moves the record forward. Leads and deals with no activity close themselves out.

  • Reporting in HubSpot

    Deal value and commission details are required before a deal is won, so revenue and commission reports come from HubSpot.

  • Stable lead capture

    Finance applications reach HubSpot through an email automation, outside the quote calculator.

  • WhatsApp and voice AI agents

    We connected the client’s two AI agents to HubSpot. The WhatsApp agent answers new leads, and the voice agent calls leads marked uncontactable within UK business hours. Both write a summary into HubSpot and create a task for the lead’s owner.

  • Ad data on every deal

    Ad source and campaign details move from the contact to the lead and the deal, so ad spend can be compared with paid-out deals.

In the client's words.
