Mutual Success Plan — Ashford Platforms
CS Owner: Marcus · AE: Sarah · Contract start: June 1, 2026 · ACV: $95K
What Success Looks Like
In D.R.’s words from the kickoff call:
“By the end of Q3 I want our new SDRs ramping in 3 weeks instead of 8. Right now they’re spending the first month just building lists manually — that’s the thing I need fixed most. If the data layer is there when they start, the ramp problem goes away.”

Open Questions
- Which HubSpot instance is the primary — Ashford has two workspaces mentioned on the call. D.R. to clarify.
- Will procurement need to countersign the DPA? D.R. said “probably not” but couldn’t confirm.
Risks to Watch
- SDR onboarding cohort starts June 17 — connector must be live by June 14 or the milestone slips.
- D.R. mentioned the IT team at Ashford “can be slow to respond.” Flag if HubSpot connector call doesn’t get scheduled by June 9.

Hi David and Michael,
Following today’s kickoff call, I’ve put together our Mutual Success Plan in our shared Slack channel — it captures what success looks like by Q3, the 90-day milestones we agreed on, and every commitment on both sides with dates. [Link to Canvas]
First action from my side: HubSpot connector documentation by June 7. From your side: the IT contact for the setup call by June 5.
Looking forward to the 30-day review on July 1.
Marcus
