Steps

1. Discover available properties

Before querying data, understand what fields exist:

hubspot__get_properties(objectType: "deals")
hubspot__get_properties(objectType: "companies")
hubspot__get_properties(objectType: "contacts")

Identify key properties for analysis:

• Deals: dealstage, amount, closedate, createdate, pipeline, dealtype, hs_analytics_source
• Companies: industry, numberofemployees, annualrevenue, city, state, country, type
• Contacts: jobtitle, hs_persona, lifecyclestage, hs_analytics_source

Note any custom properties that look ICP-relevant (e.g., custom industry fields, company tier, segment tags).

2. Analyze closed-won deals

Search for closed-won deals to establish the revenue baseline:

hubspot__search_crm_objects(
  objectType: "deals",
  filterGroups: [{"filters": [{"propertyName": "dealstage", "operator": "EQ", "value": "closedwon"}]}],
  properties: ["dealname", "amount", "closedate", "createdate", "pipeline", "dealtype", "hs_analytics_source"],
  sorts: [{"propertyName": "closedate", "direction": "DESCENDING"}],
  limit: 200
)

Check the

total

count — paginate if needed to capture full dataset.

Calculate:

• Total closed-won deals and total revenue
• Average deal size (mean and median)
• Deal size distribution: bucket into tiers (e.g., <$5K, $5-25K, $25-100K, $100K+)
• Average sales cycle length: days from createdate to closedate
• Sales cycle by deal size tier
• Win rate by pipeline (if multiple pipelines exist)
• Lead source breakdown: which sources produce closed-won deals

Also search closed-lost for comparison:

hubspot__search_crm_objects(
  objectType: "deals",
  filterGroups: [{"filters": [{"propertyName": "dealstage", "operator": "EQ", "value": "closedlost"}]}],
  properties: ["dealname", "amount", "closedate", "createdate", "pipeline", "hs_analytics_source"],
  limit: 200
)

Compare closed-won vs closed-lost to identify discriminating patterns.

3. Analyze winning companies

Fetch companies associated with closed-won deals. Use

get_crm_objects

with deal IDs to get associations, then batch-fetch the associated companies:

hubspot__get_crm_objects(
  objectType: "companies",
  objectIds: [<associated company IDs>],
  properties: ["name", "industry", "numberofemployees", "annualrevenue", "city", "state", "country", "type", "domain"]
)

Build firmographic profile:

• Industry breakdown: rank industries by deal count and total revenue
• Company size distribution: by employee count bands (1-50, 51-200, 201-1000, 1000+)
• Revenue range: annual revenue bands of winning companies
• Geography: country, state/region concentration
• Company type: customer, partner, prospect categorization

Flag:

• Industries that appear in >20% of closed-won deals (core ICP)
• Company size sweet spots (highest win rate bands)
• Geographic clusters

4. Analyze buyer personas

Fetch contacts associated with closed-won deals, then batch-fetch:

hubspot__get_crm_objects(
  objectType: "contacts",
  objectIds: [<associated contact IDs>],
  properties: ["jobtitle", "hs_persona", "lifecyclestage", "hs_analytics_source", "email", "firstname", "lastname"]
)

Build buyer persona profile:

• Job title clustering: group similar titles (e.g., "VP Marketing", "Head of Marketing", "Marketing Director" = Marketing Leadership)
• Seniority distribution: C-level, VP, Director, Manager, Individual Contributor
• Functional area: Marketing, Sales, Product, Engineering, Finance, Operations
• Number of contacts per deal: single-threaded vs multi-threaded deals
• Lead source by persona: how different personas find you

Flag:

• Dominant buyer persona (>30% of closed-won contacts)
• Multi-threaded deals that win at higher rates
• Personas that correlate with larger deal sizes

5. Cross-dimensional analysis

Combine insights across deals, companies, and contacts:

• Best segment: Industry + Company Size + Persona that produces highest win rate
• Highest-value segment: combination that produces largest average deal size
• Fastest-closing segment: combination with shortest sales cycle
• Lead source efficiency: which sources produce best-fit leads (not just most leads)
• Anti-ICP patterns: segments with low win rates or high loss rates

6. Output ICP definition
