SIDECAR

Brand Fuel

Updated Jun 11, 2026

Sidecar engagement status

The plan is approved and the work is underway. Sidecar is installing HubSpot Marketing Hub now, with Alysse already working in the platform, so marketing has a working lead engine by early August. The lead process and SDR playbook get finalized this month, and once Danny and Robert sign off, the Sales Hub build and the SDR search both kick off in July, with your new SDR starting around the beginning of September and fully ramped by the end of November.
