Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot CRM

We use HubSpot to manage and track our leads, as well as HubSpot's different marketing channels, to reach out and communicate to our potential customers effectively. We use automation and sequences and thorough tracking of where we are in the sales cycle. We also use HubSpot to track our sales reps' productivity throughout the day to make sure we are hitting the metrics needed to stay effective as a sales department. We just started to use HubSpot to track our sales numbers on a day-to-day basis to show leadership the numbers that are coming directly from the team.
  • keeps our lead on track for our sales cycle.
  • manages our employees productivity.
  • reminds us of what to do next without thinking.
  • Its probably just me but I get contacts and companies confused and for lead assignment, if I assign a contact, it wont assign the company.
  • Texting, I wish we could text through the CRM.
  • Positive all the way!
  • Before I came on board here and integrated HubSpot into our daily work, we did not follow up on leads, deals, past customers, etc.
  • We now can track out new agents performance.
I think the usability is great. I am able to train a new agent with zero experience in our process with HubSpot in a day or less. They can be proficient in using HubSpot quickly, the way I've designed it to work, in less than a week. I am able to load new leads, set calling campaigns, and start prospecting quickly. I've even had to call customer service for help, and they were super helpful.
The biggest and most notable reason for using HubSpot was price. We don't have a big budget so this was a viable option for us to use for our new and growing sales department. I had used HubSpot previously for a brief time and thought it was a good CRM but liked Salesforce better. Although, after using HubSpot and getting to know the ins and outs, I have changed my opinion and prefer HubSpot!

Do you think HubSpot CRM delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with HubSpot CRM's feature set?

Yes

Did HubSpot CRM live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of HubSpot CRM go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy HubSpot CRM again?

Yes

I love HubSpot! I think it's better than Salesforce, and it's priced so that our small business can afford to use a CRM with so many features. I used Salesforce at a previous company where I was leading a team, and I find that HubSpot is easier to use.

Cost. The price was our biggest factor in making a decision to buy a CRM.

HubSpot CRM Implementation

I am a very tech-savvy person, and I was able to figure this out pretty quickly without any formal training, which I have been able to share with our team.
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation - Customer support was really able to help while integrating this to our company.
  • Loading lead lists.
  • Assigning contacts.
  • Building a team.
