Growth strategies

AI Playbook

Blink's AI Playbook is an operating model tailored for your company that defines how artificial intelligence — and HubSpot's AI agents in particular — are integrated into the everyday work of marketing, sales, and customer service. Systematically, measurably, and with the whole organization engaged.

AI now offers concrete opportunities for growth: for example, HubSpot reports an 1,850% increase in leads generated from AI channels and a 13% improvement in deal win rates with AI-assisted selling.

Results like these can only be achieved when technology, processes, and people move in the same direction and at the same pace. Make sure of this with the help of the AI Playbook.

The key drivers of accelerated growth are your company's growth strategy, HubSpot's AI tools, AI agents, AI optimization, and change management.

Mapping and Priorities
We identify which stages of your company's processes and buyer journeys AI can generate the most value in.
Building the AI Operating Model
We build a plan: which tools and agents are selected for different use cases, what timeline we'll follow, and how the organization is brought along in the change
Implementation and Metrics
We create a 90-day implementation plan and a phased set of metrics — first we ensure smooth adoption, then we start tracking and improving results.

Processes first, then technologies

Technology alone does not guarantee the success of an AI initiative. If the organization isn't ready, processes haven't been thought through, and results are expected before usage has even taken off, there's little point expecting results.

The AI Playbook always starts with a question: which work stages are slow, costly, or unclear? After that, we look at how AI can speed up processes, reduce costs, and/or bring more clarity to the work.

"Don't start with AI. Start with the work. Find the workflow that's slow, expensive, or brittle. Find the team that is most ready. Run the experiment, measure it honestly, then commit to what the data shows."

Leveraging AI across the entire customer journey

The AI Playbook goes through the entire customer journey step by step and identifies the points where HubSpot's AI agents deliver the most value for your specific company. The playbook also defines how the organization is brought along in the change.

AI isn't a tool — it's an organizational change

Change must be managed systematically. HubSpot built its AI transformation in three stages. The same logic works for your company too, regardless of size. What's essential is that the change is carried forward systematically.

Get in touch

Stage 1

AI Expertise

The team learns to use AI in everyday work. Leadership leads by example. The culture allows for experimentation and failure. The barrier to entry is lowered.

Metric at this stage: adoption rate, not yet results.

Stage 2

Team-level change

We identify the teams where AI generates value fastest and most. Implementation is initially prioritized for these teams.

Metric at this stage: process-specific results and time savings.

Stage 3

Organization-wide AI

AI is part of the company's structures and processes — not a tool for individual people. Agents operate as part of workflows, and information is available to the entire organization.

Metric at this stage: business growth figures.

1850% growth in leads from AI channels
13% better win rate in AI-assisted sales
60% of support requests resolved without human involvement

Prioritization

You know exactly where AI investments should be directed — and you do it in the right order.
Realistic metrics

During the first 90 days, you measure adoption and usage. Once the foundation is solid, results follow.
Leveraging HubSpot

You leverage HubSpot's built-in AI capabilities — no extra integrations or new tools required.
Bringing the organization along in the change

The AI Playbook is also a change management tool. Leadership, marketing, sales, and customer service understand why we're acting — and how.

Analysis of processes and HubSpot account
We map out the current state of HubSpot: what's already in use, what's missing, and where the biggest pain points along the buyer journey are. The process analysis is described in more detail above.
Buyer Journey and AI
We go through each buyer persona and identify the points along the buyer journey where AI agents can attract, convert, or delight more effectively than the current way of working.
AI operating model and agent selection
We build a concrete plan: which HubSpot AI agents will be implemented, in what order, and what they require in terms of data and processes.
Organizational Readiness and Change Plan

We define what stage of AI transformation your company is currently at and what the next step requires from leadership, teams, and everyday routines. Who is responsible for what, how implementation is supported, and how information helps overcome any resistance to change.
90-Day Implementation Plan and Metrics
We create an action plan with timelines and responsibilities. During the first 90 days, metrics focus on adoption and usage rate. Other metrics are activated once the foundation is in place.

The AI Playbook is the right choice when…

....your company already has HubSpot in use or is about to adopt it, and you want to ensure that AI is implemented systematically — not as isolated experiments and not technology-first. The AI Playbook is also a natural continuation or deepening of Blink's Playbook.

The AI Playbook is especially well suited for companies where leadership has recognized the potential of AI but a clear plan is missing — or where individual experiments haven't produced the desired results.
