Let’s start by taking a look at what HubSpot is. HubSpot is a ‘business growth management platform’, or more straightforwardly, a Customer/Contact Relationship Management tool (CRM) that not only manages your contacts, but also your sales, pipeline, digital marketing and lead nurture too.
It is made up of multiple tools and ‘hubs’ that can be bought separately or together. Just to muddy the waters a little here, there are also freemium options that you can download and use out of the box. These are excellent, but your choice will depend on what you need for your business.
Different Services of HubSpot:
HubSpot offers a suite of tools called “Hubs,” each catering to a specific area of your business:
CRM Hub: Your Customer Data Command Center
CRM Hub is like your giant address book for all your customers. It keeps track of everything you’ve done with them, so you can remember their names and past interactions.
Marketing Hub: Attract, Nurture, Convert
Want more people to visit your e-commerce website (or your business website)? The Marketing Hub helps you create cool flyers (like online ads), build a sweet website, and send messages to get more customers.
Sales Hub: Sales Efficiency on Autopilot
Sales Hub helps your sales team close deals faster. Imagine it like a super organizer for keeping track of who wants to buy your lemonade (or your product/service) and how much progress you’ve made.
Service Hub: Happy Customers, Happy Business
Keeping customers happy is key! Service Hub gives your team tools to answer questions quickly, fix problems smoothly, and make sure everyone feels like a valued customer.
CMS Hub: Content is Everything
Building a website can be tricky, but CMS Hub makes it easy. Think of it like a website building kit with drag-and-drop tools, so you can create a cool website without needing any coding skills!
Operations Hub: Automate the Business
Do you have boring chores you do over and over? Operations Hub helps automate those tasks, like sending birthday messages to customers, so you can focus on the fun stuff!
Commerce Hub: Sell Like a Pro
Ready to sell your products online? Commerce Hub helps you set up an online store so people can buy from you anywhere!
