Website Design
Affordable website design with a process that works for you.
HubSpot’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform keeps all of your contacts organized – and it’s free!
Not many people realize that HubSpot’s CRM is free! The CRM connects to your e-mail inbox, saving contact information and e-mails. You can set up dynamic lists to segment your audience.
HubSpot launched a new design for CRM records earlier this year that is more streamlined. It is now simpler to access all the content to create better customer interactions. There are more functionalities and the contact record loads faster. Additionally, HubSpot made the CRM easier to eliminate duplicate contacts and companies with a custom tool that uses machine learning to streamline and merge lists as needed.

HubSpot updated its app marketplace
Connect your existing systems with ease with integrations that make doing business easy, such as SurveyMonkey, Eventbrite, Wistia and Zendesk. The marketplace also makes it easier to find apps by prioritizing the most important details for businesses, such as demo videos, subscription information, and pricing. Apps also can be sorted by relevance for different types of users.
HubSpot takes personalization to the next level with knowledge-based content editor and self-service
Take your customer support to a new level with HubSpot’s Service Hub Knowledge Base tools — a library of how-to articles that help customers help themselves. These tools allow you to customize articles based on HubSpot’s lists so that you can share different messages with specific audiences. Your existing knowledge base can be imported into the Service Hub, no need to rebuild if you switch your platform.
HubSpot is an all-in-one place for social media
Within the free ads tool, you can create and manage up to $1,000 ad spend/month across two connected ad accounts. HubSpot’s free ads tool helps you easily get set up, compare your performance on one network to another, sync leads directly from the networks into HubSpot, and see exactly which contacts are interacting with your ads. And because it’s tied directly to the HubSpot CRM, you’re able to launch ad campaigns taking into account how each campaign fits into the overall experience that you’ve created for your customers.
A new native lead ad feature can be used with Facebook for new advertisers to create ads within the HubSpot interface. The HubSpot social tool now offers Facebook social post boosting, so users can promote a Facebook post that is doing well organically. This feature is now in beta for enterprise and marketing hub professional users.
HubSpot’s dashboard reporting gets to the root of your marketing
With customized social media dashboards, you can discover which Facebook posts are driving the most traffic to your website. With sales, you can discover how many leads from marketing have resulted in customers. E-mail the reports to anyone on your team.
Why is this important?
Attribution reporting helps marketers understand every point in a buyer’s journey — from discovering your brand to the purchase. HubSpot has made such advanced improvements in their attribution reporting that marketing presentations can attribute actions, such as blogging and email, to more than just views and engagements.
Reports reflect more tangible information related to the bottom line — including how many deals were generated from which ad campaigns or how an email campaign generated thousands of dollars in revenue.
HubSpot’s Chatbot allows customers to schedule meeting with ease
HubSpot’s chatbot connects with your calendar to schedule appointments according to your custom office hours. You also have the ability to live chat with users on your website. All of this connects to your CRM, saving important contact information and sending automatic reminders about appointments.
HubSpot recently unveiled free email marketing and advertising tools
Email marketing and advertising tools are part of HubSpot’s free marketing tools. These tools allow marketing using the HubSpot platform the ability to capture leads and turn them into loyal customers.
With this new free feature, marketers can provide customers with a personalized experience. Here are some of the free tool available:

The HubSpot mobile app business card scanner makes networking easy
HubSpot’s automated workflows have no limits
For instance, if your sales team scans a business card at a conference, an automated e-mail can be sent within the hour, the next day or whenever you want with an appointment request. If someone signs up to download your “How-To” ebook, an automated email can be sent to the user with the download and if the user hasn’t downloaded the ebook in a couple days, another e-mail can be sent offering them help. Perhaps several leads have gone cold, send them an automated e-mail with free information.
The workflows help save time with other business operations as well. If a contact meets certain criteria, automatically segment them into a list for more targeted marketing. If a prospect fills out a lead-generating form, automatically assign tasks to your sales staff to call them. If a customer fills out a service request, send text alerts to your phone so you know the minute there is an issue.
CRM applications can help increase sales by up to 29%
