1. What is HubSpot Sales Hub?

HubSpot Sales Hub is a CRM software that supports all phases of the sales process:

- Helps your salespeople close more deals

- Develops customer relationships

- Manages the lead pipeline more effectively

- All on a highly user-friendly cloud-based SaaS platform.

- Part of the HubSpot CRM Suite

Sales Hub is even more powerful in combination with Marketing and Service Hub, which are included in the HubSpot CRM Suite. HubSpot is a publicly traded software company founded in 2005, with over 7,100 employees and 184,000 customers worldwide.

HubSpot is built with an underlying CRM and four main modules, which can be purchased separately or together. The six modules are:

Marketing Hub

Sales Hub

Content Hub

Service Hub

Operations Hub

Commerce Hub

A CRM your salespeople will love

HubSpot puts great effort into developing products that are so easy to use that they actually get used—without compromising functionality. For sales departments, friction is one of the major enemies—often in the form of working in several different systems, trying to make them work together as best as possible. With Sales Hub, all tools and data are combined in one platform, allowing you to free up time to sell.

2. Alternatives to Sales Hub

There are countless CRM solutions on the market, and the options you have will depend on your requirements for functionality. However, the platforms we encounter most in the market are Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and SuperOffice CRM.

3. What types of businesses is Sales Hub suited for?

HubSpot Sales Hub is suitable for businesses that want a modern CRM platform that supports the entire sales process efficiently. If your CRM system is mostly used as a directory for contacts but lacks insight into the digital behavior of contacts and all communication between you and the contact, you should explore HubSpot Sales Hub.

With the powerful upgrade of Sales Hub Enterprise in 2020, HubSpot has become a platform that will simplify and streamline the salesperson's daily work, whether you work in an SMB (small and medium-sized businesses) or in the sales organization of a large company. HubSpot is a platform you can grow with.

4.Popular Features in Sales Hub

Start conversations with your prospects

Activity Logging: Call or email the customer directly from HubSpot. Everything is logged in the CRM, allowing you or your colleagues in sales, customer service, or finance to review the conversation history.

Email Tracking: Get notified the moment your customer opens your email, enabling you to tailor your follow-up timing.

Email Templates: Save time by creating templates of your most effective emails. Make quick adjustments and hit send!

Develop strong relationships with your customers

Meeting Scheduling: Allow customers to choose a meeting time through an online calendar synced with your Office 365 or Google Calendar. Simply share a link, which you can also include in your email signature.

Sales Automation: Automate the sales process without losing your personal touch. Create a series of personalized emails and follow-up tasks to maintain control throughout the sales process and across all sales interactions.

Live Chat: Chat with prospects when they visit your website. Based on their needs, industry, location, or other criteria, conversations can be routed to available team members or automatically assigned.

Gain full control of your pipeline

Playbooks: A salesperson must be ready for all kinds of questions, and it's not always possible to remember everything. With Sales Hub, you can equip salespeople with conversation guides and battle cards. This enables you to control the sales process and standardize the handling of various stages. The sales organization becomes company-driven, not salesperson-driven, shifting from relying on talent to a systematic approach that allows for better scaling and growth.

Quotes: Create beautiful, organized quotes in seconds.

Analytics and Reporting: With all data in one place, you can visualize the entire sales process, identify areas for improvement, and optimize them. Generate reports that show KPIs at the individual, departmental, and company levels. For instance, track the number of new deals closed each month, segmented by existing vs. new customers, by sales department, by salesperson, and more.

Access CRM from both mobile and desktop

CRM Mobile App: Access all contacts, deals, and follow-up tasks directly on your mobile device.

Full Pipeline Control: Add new deals with a single click, assign tasks, and track progress on your dashboard.

Account-Based Marketing (ABM): Build deeper relationships and convert key accounts into customers. ABM includes tools that facilitate effective collaboration between sales and marketing teams.
