The b2b saas tools stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK B2B SaaS — sales-led + product-led — HubSpot/Salesforce + custom onboarding + expansion automation.

01 · Sales pipeline + CRM

HubSpot or Salesforce, wired to the product.

Pipeline stages tied to product activity, lead scoring driven by usage signals not just form fills, hand-offs from BDR to AE without a re-introduction call. The CRM finally reflects what's happening in the product.

  • HubSpot or Salesforce setup
  • Product-activity sync
  • Usage-driven lead scoring
  • BDR → AE hand-off automation
02 · Product-led activation

Self-serve trial that converts to a sales conversation.

PLG sign-up funnel for the trial users, sales-assisted close for the qualified accounts. Activation milestones surfaced as MQL signals, drop-offs routed to a save-play queue. The product-qualified lead, fully instrumented.

  • PostHog activation tracking
  • PQL routing to sales
  • Reverse-trial automation
  • Self-serve to sales-assisted handoff
03 · Expansion + upsell tracking

Account expansion, signalled from the product.

Seat usage, feature adoption, plan-cap proximity — surfaced as expansion signals to the AE before the customer notices. Net-revenue retention climbs because the upsell call happens at the right moment.

  • Seat-usage tracking
  • Plan-cap proximity alerts
  • Feature-adoption signals
  • Expansion-play routing
04 · Customer success motions

Health scores that mean something.

Vitally or Catalyst-style health scoring driven by real product activity, success-plan templates per segment, save-plays auto-routed when signals turn red. The CSM team stops being a support escalation queue.

  • Vitally / Catalyst integration
  • Per-segment success plans
  • Health-score automation
  • Save-play queue routing
05 · Billing + procurement

Annual contracts, MSAs, and the procurement portal.

Stripe Billing or Chargebee for annual deals, NetSuite or Xero on the back end, AvidXchange-style procurement portal handling. The contract with the customer's procurement team, automated.

  • Stripe Billing or Chargebee
  • NetSuite or Xero sync
  • MSA + DPA workflows
  • Procurement portal handling
06 · BrainBase

Sales playbook + CS knowledge + product docs.

Battle cards, objection handling, deployment runbooks, product docs, customer FAQ — searchable from the CRM, the product, the support inbox. The GTM brain every new hire ramps on in week one.

  • Sales battle cards
  • CS deployment runbooks
  • Product documentation
  • AI-assisted retrieval
Sample engagement

The B2B SaaS that lifted NRR by 22 points.

Twelve staff. £1.8M ARR. HubSpot and the product running on separate planets.

A pre-Series-A B2B SaaS ran HubSpot for sales and PostHog for product but had no signal flowing between them. Three-week build: product-activity sync into HubSpot, PQL scoring driving BDR routing, expansion signals surfaced to AEs in real-time, Vitally health scores. Six months in: net-revenue retention climbed twenty-two points, expansion ARR up forty percent, sales cycle eleven days shorter.

How we measure: NRR measured quarterly across 142 active accounts, baseline drawn from trailing four quarters pre-build vs two quarters post-build; sales cycle = days from MQL to closed-won, weighted by ACV.
