HubSpot CRM: Grow better 4+

Hubspot allows me to streamline my prospect to sales process through their fully customizable deals kanban dashboard. Hubspot allows we to caputre leads by easy connecting to websites and providing links to drive traffic through. I appreciate the simplicity of having contact profiles and business profile that automatically update company info based on domain their name. Their free to pay for more features model helps me to scale my business as I grow. The only thing I would like to see if they would allow any service from other plans to be available a la carte because I would love sequencing as an add-on rather than upgrading to professional plan to get it. Overall worth it, 5 star for effectiveness and productivity.

The app is great for letting me know when my emails are opened, which is the main reason I chose to use it. I love that I can see when someone reads my email and that I can sort my contacts by who opened emails most recently and who I’ve last made contact with, etc. however, the app on the phone is driving me crazy. Every time I open one of my own tracked emails or someone in the thread opens the email the app will send me a notification every 2 seconds that the email was opened, and it won’t stop bombarding my phone with the notifications until I exit the email (which is after I finish replying) and then have a hundred notifications. It also counts towards the 200 notifications you are allowed to receive for free, using all those up for already reported information. Although HubSpot will surely make a fix for it, I had to mention it or else they might not ever see it!

I stumbled upon HubSpot because I was in desperate need of a CRM since my company CRM, Sherpa Compass, is a horrible, slow moving, forever crashing disaster. I went on ahead and used their free CRM and I am thoroughly impressed! I have become a lifelong user as long as they continue to provide this heck of a value. The CRM is easy to use, you can sync it with your email account and know when someone opens your emails, I love their app which has a business card scanner ( I do wish though that it would save a picture of the business card as an attachment to the contact or something) and you can integrate it with multiple tools to allow you to run your business, ideally, from one spot! I highly recommend HubSpot!
