4 upsides when using HubSpot for B2B
We have gathered 4 of the greatest upsides of HubSpot based on our own experience as a HubSpot partner. And we’re happy to help you get started. We handle both design, migration, setup, operation, and updates, so you’re off to a good start.
#1 – HubSpot is free
Most free versions of CRM systems offer very limited features, but this isn’t the case with HubSpot. Of course, there are limitations, but you get what you need in the free version, and it’s easy to work with.
If you feel like expanding, you can buy Sales Pro and Marketing Pro and take your work to the next level. Among other things, you get access to tools for lead generation and lead scoring, so your salespeople can concentrate on the hottest leads.

#2 – Opportunity to scale
You can always start with the free version of HubSpot, and when you’re ready, the solution grows with your business. HubSpot offers Hubs for sales, marketing, customer service and more.
The integrated solution offer a lot of possibilities. That means, that all departments can benefit from the system – even when they become larger and more complex. So, you can start small and test HubSpot, without it costing you a penny. If you see the benefits on the bottom line, you can scale and get more tools to strengthen both marketing, sales, and customer service.
However, be aware of who you’re using as a HubSpot partner, as complexity increases with scaling.
#3 – Tracking communication
Tracking communication with potential customers can quickly become a hassle if done manually. HubSpot gets around this by enableing sales reps to send emails directly from the platform. That way, correspondence is stored together with the leads contact information, so that you can easily see what has been communicated with the potential lead. If necessary, you can even record your phone calls.
This feature is not only a great help for the individual sales rep. It’s also an invaluable feature, when a new employee takes over from a former employee, as all information is stored in one place.
#4 – User-friendly and intuitive
HubSpots CRM system is really user-friendly and intuitive. This means, that you’ll, most likely, be able to use it with a short and simple introduction – and through training in the system you can take full advantage of all the benefits.
We always recommend to ally yourself with a certified HubSpot Partner, when you first start out with HubSpot. That way you get the most out of the investment and you ensure efficient work processes from the beginning.
