We set up every email so that 20% goes out with version A, 20% goes out with version B, and then it will on its own decide the winner and send the remaining 60% to whichever one is the winner.
Head of Growth at VinciWorks
From my personal experience, just having one or two people working on HubSpot Marketing Hub compared to other organizations I've been in that have multiple people definitely provides ROI.

We do not need to manually update tasks since automations are configured to trigger and update the status automatically when specific conditions are met, thus saving both time and money on configurations.

The conversion rates, too, are better; they used to be lower, but they are now up by 30 to 35%.

Featured Reviews

Lead Content Marketing Strategist at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Has supported marketing and sales alignment while leaving room for better customization options
I have recommendations for making it easier to customize. I used to work in a tech company, so it's very easy to do that in-house, and our team did that. It's not easy to customize for a regular user though. In the world of generative AI where it's easy for you to connect different tools, APIs, etc., HubSpot Marketing Hub still requires some customization. For example, if you want to make sure it's connected with a custom CRM or some other CRM, there is some fair bit of modification that's required. Some main differences in my experience between HubSpot Marketing Hub and Salesforce are that Salesforce is a bit un-user-friendly. I have to be fair, I haven't used Salesforce too much, but I think HubSpot Marketing Hub is much more user-friendly.

Structured lead tracking has improved sales visibility and now drives higher conversion rates
The best features LeadSquared offers include the lead activity; the activities we are doing such as sales CRM and the dashboard stand out most for me. I would say this is a good one. The dashboard feature provides valuable insights; whenever any salesperson is calling any lead, they understand in a better way. We see how many times they call, the talk time, and the exact duration they have spoken. We can recognize if they have updated the notes or not, what needs to be done, and if it's a hot, warm, or cold lead. So this information is clearly visible in the dashboard. This dashboard feature is essential because we can create reports; we can pull reports that are also good and can be shared with the team. It may seem small, but it's effective for me. LeadSquared has positively impacted my organization; my company has been using LeadSquared for quite a long time, but I just started using it about one and a half years ago. It is good and definitely gives me positive results. Earlier, we used to do CRM with Google Sheets, but now we integrate LeadSquared, and it is really good. We can understand what the lead stages are and which leads we need to call, all in one place. I really appreciate LeadSquared.
