What is a CRM?
CRM is a customer relationship management software or SaaS (software‑as‑a‑service) that helps you:
Generate high quality leads
Convert more leads to customers faster
Deliver a delightful customer experience
Turn customers into your fans
Are all CRMs
the Same?
Most CRMs only serve your sales team, leaving the rest of your company to cobble together different technologies that are difficult or impossible to integrate in a way that provides you with a holistic view of your company and how it is operating.
That’s because most legacy CRM platform companies expanded their capabilities over time by acquiring other software companies and then tried to make them work together. In addition, many CRMs are difficult to learn, expensive, hard to use, and take a long time to get onboarded and fully functioning.
It’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
In fact, many CRM platforms can come with a “Cobble Tax” that includes:
- Siloed Tools that make it harder to align
- Clunky UX that makes it harder to adopt
- An Inflexible Stack that makes it harder to adapt
HubSpot
is Built Differently
HubSpot is different from other CRMs. It’s robust, easy-to-use, AI-powered CRM capabilities are built from the inside out, all with the same amazing user experience in mind.
It’s designed to equip your RevOps teams with the insights they need to drive performance and generate company growth.
HubSpot took all the critical elements of customer experience management – content, messaging, automation, reporting, and data – and handcrafted them into one unified code base with a single buyer’s experience at the center of it all.
It is crafted for Growth that includes:
- A Single Source of Truth that makes it easy to align
