You've created your sales process, now here's the tool to help you implement it!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We started out on HubSpot's Marketing Hub, as most people do. Then as we grew, our sales process became more complex, and less efficient. Eventually we decided to do a complete audit of our entire sales process with all stakeholders, which resulted in a very well mapped out process that all could agree would work better. Essential to making that function properly and keep everyone on the same page was getting everyone to use HubSpot's Sales Hub. We were already putting all of our contacts into HubSpot's CRM, so HubSpot Sales Hub was the next logical step. We were able to implement our process and improve how effective it was by training everyone on how to use the HubSpot Sales Hub tools, made much easier by custom email templates they just need to customize, assistance in finding highly qualified leads with company info provided by AI, and getting great reporting on deal progress. I feel like everything is finally in one place, and the team communicates much better now as a result. This was a solid investment.

Pros

  • email templates that our team members can customize rather than starting from scratch.
  • Deals are easy to set up and all contact / interactions are recorded in one place, so everyone can see if a lead is engaged or not.
  • The new Breeze tool helps put AI to use to identify new prospects that fit our best client profile, prospects we might not have even been aware of previously.

Cons

  • The deal pipeline can take some time to set up until you feel you've really gotten it right.
  • Contact limits are tough to manage, we're always hitting our limit and then the cost increases.
  • As more functionality is added, the platform is growing in complexity and is harder to get the hang of.

Return on Investment

  • We've grown our business a solid 35% since implementing HubSpot Sales Hub, but that was only after significant investment in training everyone and getting full buy-in.
  • Overall turnover in our sales position has dropped significantly now that there is one uniform tool for them to use.

Easy to use and so many great features!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use HubSpot Sales Hub in combination with HubSpot Marketing Hub as our main CRM for our customers and leads. For starters, we have HubSpot Sales Hub tied to our social media ads, our live chat, google ads, forms, etc so all of our lead information will be auto added into HubSpot Sales Hub. We can then use HubSpot Sales Hub sales hub to send emails, keep track of where leads are coming from, see the email open rate, schedule calls with the customers, add notes, see what they are interested in, create workflows, and so much more.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Easy to keep track of lead information
  • Easy to schedule meetings/ calls with leads/ customers
  • Easy to run reports
  • Easy to create workflows
  • Easy to import contacts
  • Live chat is fast to respond

Cons

  • The sequences are confusing to use
  • Sometimes the live chat just sends an article instead of directly helping you
  • When it comes to actual sales numbers, not the best. But is great for seeing things like email open rate

Return on Investment

  • This has helped us to knock out about 30% of our dead database by easily removing unsubscribers, low interaction, bad emails, etc.
  • We have significantly improved our open rate of emails by seeing what subject lines perform better than others with A/B testing.
  • We have significantly improved our sales by seeing what types of emails perform better than others with A/B testing.
