You've adopted the HubSpot CRM. You now know tons of information about your leads: when they entered your pipeline, how often they've visited your website, if they've opened your emails, clicked on links within them, responded to them, and lots more. But when it comes time to call or text these leads, what most people do with all of this information is.....nothing. Instead, they call a lead on Thursday at 9am and hope they happen to pick up the phone. We're going to teach you how to turn HubSpot into the Ultimate Sales Machine and take advantage of all that information and finally use it effectively to connect with more prospects at times when they actually want to talk to you, and with messages that they are apt to actually read.
