First of all, we really believe we have to use the best option available, always, regardless of anything. We are not married to Mautic, we are married to the best practices to use technology to evolve sales
We really like Hubspot, we have been using the following Hubspot modules:
– CRM
– Chat
– Calendar Meeting
– Facebook Leads Integration
I think it is really good to keep the information as much gathered as we could.
Hubspot has a Starter plan for U$25/month that's worthwhile.
The Hubspot cons are:
– For big contact lists, like for more than 10k contacts, the marketing platform easily crosses $1,000/monthly
– We can't create nurturing/drip campaign on Sales starter plan on Hubspot, it needs to be the Marketing plan which starts at $800 for 1,000 contacts.
– Advanced campaigns, for example, to send email/SMS if the contact accesses the requested page or does open an email, etc
– Dedicated IP. Hubspot starter plan offers email marketing but it's shared IP, for a dedicated one you need to pay $500/monthly which we can get for $25/month on Amazon SES.
Our Marketing Stack:
CRM, CHAT, CALENDAR MEETING, FACEBOOK LEADS INTEGRATION
– Husbpot starter plan for 3,000 contacts, we pay $25 + $20 additional for 2,000 contacts and we can still use the CRM post sales, for Support and Customer Success.
