KING OF POPS

HubSpot Optimization & Franchisee Bidding Process

CRM Optimization|November 2025 – ongoing

The Challenge

King of Pops returned as a client after their initial website migration, this time needing broader HubSpot optimization as their Cartrepreneur franchise program scaled. The key operational challenge was the franchisee deal bidding process:

What We Did

Platform Optimization

Performed a comprehensive review and optimization of King of Pops' HubSpot instance, addressing accumulated technical debt and aligning the platform with current operational needs.

New Franchisee Bidding Process

Designed and implemented a new bidding process from the ground up:

  • Pipeline Unification: All deals — both retail and prepaid — now flow through a single, unified bidding process while still being properly tagged by type
  • Bidding Window Enforcement: Workflow rules lock deals during the 4-hour bidding period, preventing anyone from claiming or signing a deal until the window closes
  • Process Transparency: The new system provides clear visibility into deal status, bidding history, and assignment — reducing confusion and ensuring fairness across the franchise network

RESULTS

Outcome

The franchise team gained a streamlined, rules-enforced deal process that replaced the previous ad-hoc system. The unified bidding approach eliminated confusion, prevented premature deal claims, and provided the operational foundation for continued franchise growth. This engagement also set the stage for Phase 3 — the migration to Sanity/Cloudflare with custom AI.
