Industrial Defender: Revenue Operations That Connect Marketing to Pipeline

The challenge

Marketing that generates leads is only half the job — the other half is a revenue system that can say which campaigns produced pipeline, what the ARR forecast looks like, and whether sales tooling actually gets used. Industrial Defender needed its Salesforce org and HubSpot instance to work as one connected system rather than two disconnected databases.

The approach

Great Harbor Digital operates as Industrial Defender's revenue operations team. In Salesforce, that means ARR forecasting flows and dashboards built by line item, opportunity attribution tied back to campaigns and events, and reporting that leadership actually uses — from sales quota achievement to closed-lost history. On the marketing side, GHD manages event campaign operations for the industry conferences that drive the OT security calendar, keeps lead queues clean, and rolls out sales tooling — including an outbound dialer integration and sequence enrollment directly from Salesforce — so reps work in one place.

The results

Pipeline, attribution, and forecasting now live in one connected system. Leadership sees ARR and quota dashboards grounded in clean opportunity data, marketing sees which campaigns and events produce real pipeline, and sales tools are adopted because they meet reps where they already work. It's the build-and-run model applied to revenue operations: not a one-time implementation, but a system that's continuously operated and improved.
