Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot CRM

For the last 6 months we have been using Hubspot to track deals from pre-bid all the way through the project wrap and even after - it's great that we can link companies and contacts to bids because when we have a repeat customer reach out for help with a project, we can see right in their contact card that we've worked on projects with them before. I love the pipelines feature in deals too, because our company has multiple channels of income managed by separate departments - organizationally it really simplifies things. The last thing I'll mention is tasks, sometimes all you need is a simple reminder to follow up with someone and hubspot makes it really easy, once again!
  • Deal tracking: all info you need is in one place and even integrates with other platforms you may be using, such as QuickBooks, panda docs, monday.com, and Apollo.io. You can view contracts, external documents, associated contacts and companies, and all relevant deal info right in one spot. If you click on any of those associated contacts or companies, you'll be able to see any associated deals in one spot as well.
  • Pipelines, my company, sells post-production finishing services such as color grading and sound effects editing. We also rent office space. We have two different people taking care of each of these streams of revenue, and keeping them in two separate pipelines in HubSpot ensures that these employees only have to look at information relevant to them.
  • The other day, I spoke to our wonderful customer service rep, Lexie, about this. Hubspot, the way we use it, is pretty much perfect and meets all of our needs. The only thing that would be the icing on the cake would be a prospecting tool like Apollo.io uses. It seems like Hubspot and Apollo are super similar. However, we really don't like Apollo. The ease of use and customer support that Hubspot provides is just not there. Hubspot doesn't have the same intensive prospecting tool that Apollo does, though, so alas, we're stuck. If Hubspot kicks off a prospecting tool, I've expressed interest to Lexie in testing something like that.
  • Consolidated CRM efforts (no more spreadsheets, calendars, etc, in 17 different places).
It is the best!
I don't think I've experienced server issues once in the past six months that I've used Hubspot, whereas I experienced ongoing server issues with all of the above. Also, each of those products does something a little different. Hubspot kind of combines the functionality of all of those into one spot, and that's the most convenient thing.

Yes

Did implementation of HubSpot CRM go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy HubSpot CRM again?

Yes

Hubspot CRM comes in handy for us because we're a company that spits out a lot of bids and doesn't always have the time to develop relationships. The amount of detail we're able to keep track of in the contact cards really helps us remember the important stuff about different contacts and companies we've worked with. One thing I find myself changing a lot is that a contact's first name will be their email instead of their actual first and last name.
