Managing investor relationships efficiently is critical for real estate firms and wealth advisors. Without a seamless connection between your marketing and investor management platforms, your team wastes valuable time on manual data entry and risks losing out on potential opportunities.

At GK3, we specialize in solving these challenges for firms like yours by integrating HubSpot with Juniper Square. This integration not only eliminates inefficiencies but also ensures a seamless experience for your investors.

In this blog, you'll learn why this integration is so powerful, the benefits it brings to your firm, and how GK3 helps clients set it up for long-term success.

Why Integrate Juniper Square with HubSpot?

To understand why this integration is a game-changer, it’s important to understand the unique roles HubSpot and Juniper Square play in managing investor relationships:

• HubSpot: An all-in-one digital marketing and CRM platform. It helps you attract leads through digital ads, social media, and email campaigns, and nurture them until they’re ready to invest.
• Juniper Square: A platform specifically designed to manage your investment partnerships. It serves as the central hub for tracking investors, managing ongoing relationships, and ensuring a seamless investor experience.

In essence:

• HubSpot promotes your fund to potential investors.
• Juniper Square manages those who are ready to invest or have already invested.

Without an integration, your team would need to manually transfer contact information from HubSpot to Juniper Square. This manual process is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. By integrating the two platforms, investors can move seamlessly from HubSpot to Juniper Square when they’re ready, freeing up your team to focus on higher-value tasks.

The Benefits of Integrating Juniper Square and HubSpot

Integrating these two platforms offers several key advantages:

1. Save Time and Eliminate Manual Work
   • Automate the transfer of contacts between platforms, reducing the risk of errors and freeing your team to focus on strategic activities.
2. Improve Investor Experience
   • Ensure timely and accurate communication by syncing critical data between platforms.
3. Enhanced Reporting and Insights
   • Track the full investor journey—from initial marketing engagement in HubSpot to ongoing relationship management in Juniper Square.
4. Customizable Workflows
   • Tailor the integration to fit your firm’s unique processes, ensuring seamless operations at every stage.

How Does the Integration Work?

At a high level, the integration involves setting up automations that sync contacts from HubSpot to Juniper Square based on specific criteria.

Here’s how it works:

1. Set Trigger Criteria in HubSpot
   • Contacts are transferred to Juniper Square when they meet certain conditions. For example, this could be when their lifecycle stage in HubSpot changes to “Opportunity” (actively in conversations with sales) or “Customer” (actively invested in your fund).
2. Automate Data Mapping
   • Map fields between the two platforms to ensure critical data—such as contact details, investment amounts, and communication history—flows accurately.
3. Sync Contacts Automatically
   • Once a contact meets the trigger criteria, they’re automatically transferred to Juniper Square, ensuring no manual work is needed.

By tailoring these workflows to your specific needs, you can ensure the integration aligns with your business processes.

Step-by-Step: How GK3 Configures the Integration

At GK3, we’ve helped firms like CAI Investments set up the Juniper Square and HubSpot integration successfully. Here’s the step-by-step process we follow:

1. Add the HubSpot Integration in Juniper Square

• Go to Admin Settings > Integrations > HubSpot in Juniper Square to begin the process.
• Sign into your HubSpot account to connect the two platforms.

2. Review and Configure Field Mappings

• Map default fields like Contact Owner ID and HubSpot Score to their corresponding fields in Juniper Square.
• Manually map any custom fields that don’t sync automatically to ensure a smooth data flow.

3. Create HubSpot Automation to Facilitate the Sync

• A property called Juniper Square Sync Enabled is automatically created in HubSpot. When this property is marked for a contact, that contact will sync with Juniper Square.

4. Build and Test a Workflow in HubSpot

• Use HubSpot’s workflow builder to automate the process:
  • Trigger: Lifecycle stage changes to “Opportunity” or “Customer.”
  • Action: Mark the Juniper Square Sync Enabled property as true.
• Test the workflow with a sample contact to ensure everything syncs correctly.

5. Turn On the Workflow

• Once the test is successful, activate the workflow to begin automating your investor management process.
