Overview

The Crossbeam 360 Dashboard gives your team a visual summary of ecosystem activity by consolidating Crossbeam data inside HubSpot. Whether you're tracking partner-sourced opportunities or monitoring key segments, this dashboard enables smarter, data-informed decisions without leaving your CRM.

Before you begin, decide what you want to track.

  • What partner-influenced metrics are most important to us?

  • Who is this dashboard for sales leaders, CSMs, partner managers?

  • Do we want to track by Population, overlap, source, or sync status?

❗️Important

Dashboards in HubSpot are built on reports. Ensure the Crossbeam reports you want to include are already created and contain relevant data you need.
