Migrating to HubSpot in Ireland: From Spreadsheets or a Legacy CRM

How do Irish companies migrate to HubSpot? In five steps: audit the current data, map fields and pipelines, run a test import, migrate and check every record, then train the team. Most of the risk sits in data quality and mapping, not in the import itself.

This guide is for Irish companies moving from spreadsheets or a legacy CRM such as Salesforce, Pipedrive or Zoho.

Step 1: audit what you have

• Where does customer data live today: spreadsheets, an old CRM, mailboxes, accounting?
• Which fields are actually used?
• How many duplicates and incomplete records are there?

Step 2: design the target structure

Decide pipelines, deal stages, lifecycle stages and required properties before importing anything. For teams selling across Ireland, the UK, the EU and the US, plan pipelines per market and the currencies you need.

Step 3: map and test

Map every source field to a HubSpot property. Run a test import on a sample, check associations between contacts, companies and deals, and fix the mapping.

Step 4: migrate and verify

Migrate in a planned window. Then check counts, notes, activities and owners. UpValue, one of our healthcare clients, migrated 20,000 interactions this way.

Step 5: train and hand over

Role-based training and short written guides make sure the new CRM is actually used. Document every rule you created.

Common mistakes

• Importing everything, including data no one needs.
• Building pipelines after the import.
• Skipping the test import.
• No owner for data quality after launch.

Why some UK, Irish and Australian teams choose a specialist partner

• HubSpot only. Setup, migration, automation and integrations, without bundled advertising or design retainers.
• Own HubSpot apps. Piceci Services built Timezone Sync and Inventory & Warehouse for HubSpot, with public setup guides.
• ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified. Documented quality and information security processes.
• In-house development. Integrations and CRM cards are built by our own developers.
• Step-by-step pricing. Free audit, then one step at a time, with no mandatory annual retainer.
• Founder-led. Alessio Piceci leads each project directly.
