Sales and Marketing Weren’t Speaking the Same Language
HR Cloud is a human resources software company that was using HubSpot as a marketing tool, and Salesforce for a sales tool. Ryan Ginsberg, Manager of Customer Support and Implementations, and his team were having a difficult time deriving insights that could inform the company’s sales and marketing strategy while using multiple disparate systems. The bottom line, their sales and marketing teams had fallen out of alignment. In addition, there was also a lack of visibility into their contact's website engagement. As a result, HR Cloud struggled to keep up with manually handling inbound leads, follow-ups, demos, contract negotiations, and other integral sales activities. Ultimately, this meant new potential customers were falling through the cracks.
HubSpot Makes a World of Difference as an All-in-One Solution
In terms of key criteria to switch to HubSpot, HR Cloud said, “it needed to be more affordable than Salesforce, it needed to offer the same functionality, and it needed to support our plans of developing an automated marketing machine. So far we have been tremendously successful with our move and wouldn't go back.” After migrating both marketing and sales to run on HubSpot, HR Cloud, “felt like it was unlike anything the company has used before as it has allowed our sales team to become more productive with their time.” They are now able to optimize their campaigns and easily track their performance along with effectively managing their leads.
Using HubSpot for both Marketing and Sales automation has helped HR Cloud increase their conversions to 51%. “We use automation from HubSpot to handle follow-up emails and tracking. If the lead clicks in an email triggered a task to call or send an email to the lead an ensure they book a demo. We get value every day from having a central place for all Website, Marketing, and Content. We have emails sent tracking total contacts created by day, and workflows help optimize our processes. For example, when a deal goes to closed-won, we create a ticket to send email notifications and tasks to accounting and our implementation team. Everything has been set up to support our growing business. HubSpot is the first thing I log into every morning to review deals, implementations, leads, and everything else for that matter. It's amazing!”
HR Cloud is now in the process of switching from Zendesk to HubSpot’s Service Hub to integrate their entire platform.
Ginsberg explains how HR Cloud has best benefited from using HubSpot in his own words
Ryan considers himself a true HubSpot Advocate, and has become the go-to person for any related questions around the office. When he doesn't have the answer, the HubSpot support team is there to help. “I have never loved a product more than HubSpot. I can do anything I want, in one place, and it never fails. Everything about the product is easy to use, intuitive, fast, and effective. Our company has aspirations to be like HubSpot in the HR space, said Ryan."
