Marketing Performance, in HubSpot CRM really helps us to know, if those leads that have entered our website will become sales opportunities, and in the Marketing Dashboard it will be precisely where we will be able to monitor and understand what is happening with our website with use single view. From this site, we will be able to know fully relevant information about sales, services and additionally the functionality of web analytics.On the other hand, we can model the sales process based on incremental states that allow us to place our potential clients in stages until successful deals are achieved, these states begin with the appointment, qualify to buy, scheduled presentation, and others. These ensure full visibility in the process.

Mindfire is good when using direct mail pieces. You are able to analyze the web and print pieces together. However, it doesn't allow for good scalability of campaigns. While the templates are decent, you do need some coding knowledge to make these campaigns web compliant.

Pros
HubSpot
  • Lack of organization: It allows us to keep all customer and lead information in one central location, reducing the risk of losing valuable data.
  • Inefficient lead management: It allows us to track and prioritize leads based on their level of engagement, making it easier to focus on the most promising opportunities.
  • Poor lead nurturing: It allows us to create targeted, personalized campaigns that nurture leads and move them through the sales funnel.

Cons
HubSpot
  • Social Media Integration - You can't search for hashtags, and there's a photo cap.
  • Mock Project - Just an idea: I took the Onboarding, and I think it could've been helpful to be given a prompt wit, with different elements required to set up a mock campaign. It can be hard at the moment to do it for yourself. I found that for my agency, I wasn't necessarily ready nor authorized to make decisions, but still learn best by doing. A mock campaign assignment would've been beneficial for someone like me. Although, I can see how not everyone would want that.
  • I found the workbook section/reference section for Onboarding to be confusing. If I clicked on a task it disappeared. I expected workable exercises, but it was mostly articles. I needed my Onboarding coach to show me how to use that, which is probably stupid, but I guess the UX wasn't as idiot-proof there for me.

  • The UI is dated and needs to be updated. The ability to delete elements after publishing and going back to edit mode. Better UX needs to be implemented.

To be honest there are some barriers due to which we are unable to use Hubspot at it's full potentials. The region that we work in has some restrictions that don't allow us to make calls or text which leaves us to just Email to the client.

HubSpot provides lots of access and information which you can use to manage your emails as per your requirement and it provides all the information required to manage. In other tools they don't provide all the information which need, few of the things are missing in every tool, but in HubSpot it provides all the data required to manage emails in a proper way.

Because when I needed help HubSpot responded immediately and provided me with the information I needed which enabled me to realize that HubSpot was even more customizable and easier to use than I thought! And I already thought HubSpot was very user friendly and easy to use, and then Support showed me how to manipulate the settings, columns and the appearance of the tool.

If you've had any prior experience with cloud based marketing automation or group communication tools, you can do the implementation without paid outside support. Though getting to a SLA (service level agreement) would be best achieved with the help of a third party who can facilitate

Salesforce is a very powerful CRM as well, a lot more expensive and has many capabilities. For our team, not necessary to have all those features at such a high cost. Hubspot provides everything we need at a much better pricepoint. Layout and ease of use is better with Hubspot.

Mindfire wasn't my choice. The only reason it is being used is because it correlated with direct mail.
