Reason why I love HubSpot so much more than Salesforce. I love HubSpot so much more than Salesforce. As a salesperson, somebody worked in tech, is that HubSpot actually helped me do my job. Salesforce takes time away from you. It's a data dump. You're just supposed to fill out all these fields so that higher ups can see. It doesn't actually help you sell. It's not actually a tool, it's a database. As a salesperson, right, when you're filling out all these fields, trying to pull prospect reports, but then you can't really do your, like, dialing flow out of there. It's like literally just like taking time out of your day to keep you from selling. HubSpot. First time logged in, I was off to the races. Using an iPhone. I realized I could start making email sequences out of there. I could put people in a drip, I could see data about when they were engaging with my stuff, when they were clicking on my links. I was getting notifications. Using a sales engagement platform. If you don't know what a sales engagement platform is, companies buy sales engagement platforms because Salesforce sucks. The top two, sales loft and outreach. It's like, hey, here's a tool that will help sales people, sync the data back to your CRM. I used sales off and outreach before, and I was, I jumped right in. And I was, I was off to the races. Nothing can hold me back. I was so much more productive with dialing, emailing. Like my output, like outreach and contacting people skyrocketed because I wasn't using a dinosaur system. If you're in the spot where you can't leave Salesforce, it's just too deep, so entwined. Like, at least go look at Sales Loft. Outreach. It's lagging behind. It's lagging behind. But if you have the opportunity to move to HubSpot and set up, I'm pro. You'll, you'll love it. Your sales people will love it. They'll be like, whoa, we can actually do stuff now. We don't have to manage all on a separate spreadsheet or smart sheet or notepad because it takes so long to use a system. That's all I'm gonna say. You'll see it. You see it.
