In episode #71 of Karman Digital's PodSpot podcast, Jon Pittham, Founder of Karman Digital, is joined by Darren Scott, Intermediary Insight and Performance Consultant at Accord Mortgages, to explore how the lender is transforming its use of HubSpot from contact management into commercial intelligence. Drawing on Accord's HubSpot journey since 2019, Darren shares how connecting sales, marketing and service data has helped the business better understand broker behaviour, identify opportunities and deliver more personalised engagement. They also discuss the challenges of CRM adoption and data governance within a regulated organisation, why valuable commercial intelligence often comes from asking better questions, and how AI could change the way sales teams access and act on information.
