Main features and tools of HubSpot Sales Hub

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

HubSpot Sales Hub's CRM component consolidates all customer information in one place.

Moreover, it gives you simplified access to your needed data, such as purchase histories or communication preferences. This makes it easier for you to personalize your customer interactions. Exchanges are better tracked, enabling you to adapt precisely to your customers' expectations.

For example, suppose a potential customer visits the same product page on your website several times. The CRM automatically updates the customer's profile to reflect this activity. Alerted by a notification, your sales staff then have the opportunity to offer a demonstration.

Integration with other HubSpot modules , like the Marketing Hub, enables team coordination. If a marketing campaign generates leads, the CRM captures them and assigns them to salespeople. This creates a bridge between lead generation and sales follow-up.

Sales automation

You can automate repetitive tasks like sending follow-up emails or updating lead statuses. 

For example, if a prospect downloads a guide from your site, the system can automatically send a series of personalized emails. This approach keeps the prospect engaged and increases the chances of conversion.

Sales sequences in HubSpot Sales Hub

Sales sequences in HubSpot Sales Hub are a series of automated emails and scheduled tasks intended to be sent at specific intervals. The aim is to engage and progress prospects through the sales pipeline in an organized way. 

How sales sequences work:

• Follow-up automation: You can create sequences that automatically send a series of personalized emails to your prospects over a given period. This ensures they receive regular communications, helping to keep them engaged.
• Scheduled tasks: In addition to emails, sequences can automatically create tasks for the salesperson, such as making a phone call or preparing a personalized proposal. These tasks appear in the salesperson's calendar at the appropriate time.
• Personalization: emails and tasks can be customized for each prospect. HubSpot lets you use personalization tokens (e.g. prospect name, company name, etc.) to make communications more personal and relevant.
• Tracking and optimization: HubSpot provides detailed analyses of sequence performance, such as email open rates, click-through rates, and prospects' progress through the pipeline. This enables sales teams to adjust their strategies and perfect their sequences for better results.

Why use sales sequences?

Sales sequences make it easier to organize follow-ups with prospects, making the process smoother without overloading sales teams with repetitive tasks.

They ensure that each prospect receives the right attention at the right time, freeing up salespeople's time to focus on the exchanges that require a personalized approach.

Advanced deal management

Deals management in HubSpot Sales Hub helps you track and organize your sales opportunities.

Imagine detecting a new sales opportunity. The system provides the "Deal" functionality. It allows you to categorize your deals according to their stage in the sales pipeline, such as :

• Prospecting: Identification and active search for potential new customers.
• Qualification: In-depth evaluation of the potential and interest of identified prospects.
• Sending proposals: Preparing and sending personalized offers to qualified prospects.
• Negotiation: Discussion and adjustment of offer terms with prospects.
• Closed Won: Successful sale completion, marking the prospect's conversion into a customer.
• Closed Lost: Marking of deals that did not result in a sale for various reasons, such as the prospect's insufficient budget, a postponed decision, or preference for a competitor.

Tracking emails and sales activity

Email tracking shows when your prospects open an email, click on a link, or download an attachment. This helps to identify their interest and commitment.

Similarly, recording all interactions with contacts, including calls, meetings and notes, builds a detailed history for each customer relationship. This file, accessible by the whole team, guarantees continuity and personalization of customer service.

In the event of a prospect opening an email but not making the expected click.

The system automatically alerts the sales rep concerned, who can follow up with more targeted information, optimizing the chances of engagement.

HubSpot Sale Hub reports and data analysis

These features help users assess their communications' reach and measure the campaigns' impact.

Customized dashboards provide each team with a detailed perspective on their success indicators.

These tools highlight trends and behaviours by examining data obtained from contact interactions. With this data, teams can make strategic adjustments.

For example, when performance falls short of expectations, HubSpot Sales Hub automatically alerts teams. Following this alert, they adjust their sales strategies to ensure that future actions align with defined objectives.
