- I love Marketing Hub Starter because it's only $50 a month and it gives you so much flexibility to help clients. Especially those that might have been turned off to the Professional version because it was more expensive or the basic version because it was $250.
- Now, with that $50 a month I think we can get people in on that conversation, show them what's possible with a little bit of inbound marketing and then use that to help them grow results and then ultimately grow their usage of the tool.
- The barrier to entry is a lot lower, so you can allow them to see the picture of what's possible. If they want to move on to workflows, then sequences and build out some more, that functionalities are in HubSpot Professional (upsell opportunity). You can lead them down that path now having Marketing Hub Starter.
- Plus, once you get all the information into one system (you guys know this), it's harder to pull it back out and take it to a different system, so if you build this right it'll give you all the chance you need to show results and then take them to that next level.

- Market: for SMBs. Number of contacts and the pricing is beneficial for small SMBs.
- User-friendly and robust tool to do marketing the human way. Less headaches with easy to use drag-and-drop interfaces. Save time using disconnected tools.
- Convert your website traffic into prospects, and start creating a systematic approach RESULT DRIVEN.
- Grow with HubSpot while your company grows and add more tools from the platform: grow your business.
Prospects might come up with these challenges, that you'll need to be able to address:
- Integrating it into the current website. Even with little technical knowledge, they might see it as a roadblock. Especially because they often don't have a team to rely on.
- Syncing up the contact database (omnichannel).
- Time management (where is my time spent best on the platform?). Many only have five hours or so per week.
- Segmentation of existing database.
- Often relying a lot on social media (messengers), so might be interesting to sync those contacts with the HubSpot Free CRM.
