Editor's Notes

  • #2 Sarah to give welcome. Hello and welcome, everyone! Happy Tuesday! Thank you for joining us for today’s webinar. My name is Sarah Reed and I’m the Director of Marketing at BrainSell. Today we will be exploring how to determine the value of different CRM platforms. And while cost is one area there are a number of other factors for consideration and prioritization to help you make the right choice for your company.  
  • #3 Sarah to walk through housekeeping But before we dive in, let’s take care of some housekeeping. If you have any questions during the presentation, please type them into the question box in your control panel. I’ll bring them up during the discussion and we’ll also save some time for questions at the end. Additionally this session is being recorded and we will share it with you via email. You can expect to see it in your inbox likely tomorrow morning.
  • #4 Now I'm going to turn it over to my colleagues Sonja and Kevin to introduce themselves and kick things off!
  • #5 Kevin
  • #6 Kevin
  • #7 Sarah will launch the poll Sonja, before we really dive in – I thought this would be a good opportunity to get to better understand of who are audience is today in order to better tailor the discussion. So folks, if you wouldn’t mind sharing if you are currently using CRM in your organization via the poll now, that would be fabulous.
  • #8 Sarah will launch the poll And...one more question... Okay, Sonja take it away!
  • #9 Sonja to speak to this slide CRM market is huge - $82B by 2025 (Grand View Research Inc) - it's at the heart of every growing business If you’re not already using CRM, you should be considering it because the odds are your competitors have already adopted it – in fact more than 90% of companies with more than 11 employees use CRM is some form (CRM Magazine) And the ROI is big – According to Nucleus Research, every $1 spent on CRM implementation returns as much as $8.71 in sales revenue. But with so many options, it can be hard to determine which platform is right for your business. Think about this -- There are more than 380 CRM systems listed on G2 crowd but only 19% are rated above 3 stars. 
  • #10 Kevin to speak to this slide Most CRM systems have similar feature sets, but that doesn’t mean that any CRM system will be right for you, and it certainly doesn’t mean that all CRM systems are the same.  It is up to you to prioritize which areas are the most valuable to you and evaluate your CRM options based on that.  Do not just prioritize these on your own – involve key stakeholders and users to identify your list.  Know the current state of your business Establish a budget Identify what you want to achieve with a new CRM system – what are your objectives What other platforms do you need it to integrate with What types of relationships and workflows are you trying to manage What kind of reporting capabilities do you need Deployment – cloud vs. On-prem Any industry-specific requirements needed Ease of use Flexibility and agility to scale with your business How upgrades and enhancements handled Social networking and mobile accessibility 
  • #11 Sonja – HubSpot Kevin – Salesforce Not a true apples to apple comparison. While there are simalarities between these two – there are a lot of differences
  • #12 Kevin to speak to Salesforce
  • #13 Sonja to speak to HUbSpot One resounding takeaway from HubSpot’s experience using Salesforce is that the CRM was really built for the development community. Salesforce is an incredibly powerful tool that can do and report on a massive amount of customized data points. However, the sophistication of the system makes it really hard to do little and administrative tasks. HubSpot, like many companies, had to hire consultants and full-time developers to manage the system and make the smallest of changes, like updating pipelines.  While Pardot is now part of their sales  cloud. It is seen as a sales enablement tool. Marketers now need paid for logins to simply access marketing tools. Hubspot, you can have as many marketers as you need access these tools with their own permissions at no added cost, among other value adds. A good analogy we like to use is Salesforce is a lot like Android. You can really customize each and every piece to your liking - if you know how. HubSpot is more like Apple. It has an intuitive UI that makes it easy for you to just get what you need to get done, done. 
  • #14 Sonja – HubSpot Kevin – Salesforce
  • #15 Sonja – HubSpot Kevin – Salesforce
  • #16 Kevin to speak to this slide
  • #17 Sonja to speak to this slide Sales enablement content – Arm your sales team with competitive battlecards, templates call scripts, positioning guides, and more
  • #18  Kevin – Salesforce
  • #19 Sonja – HubSpot On November 1st, the base price of Sales Hub Professional will increase to $500/month to make room for even more great features.
  • #20 Sonja to Bring it all back together.
  • #21 Sonja and Kevin  How easy is it to customize each of these platforms? How difficult is it to implement Hubspot vs. Salesforce? Will I need outside help?
  • #22 Sarah to wrap it up
