Glad to see you think CRM’s are an important aspect of a healthy business. If you don’t mind me asking, why did you choose vendor X? What’s working well? What’s not? Allow me to explain how HubSpot is different.

Q

We don’t have the capacity to implement the product?

A

I hear you, and I want HubSpot to add value, not take it away. What are your current day-to-day responsibilities of your job? I’d love to explain how HubSpot, if implemented, can alleviate some of those problems.

Q

Your product is too complicated.

A

What features are confusing to you? Remember, our customer service team guides you with implementation and provides round the clock support.

17
Q

Your product doesn’t have X feature, and we need it.

A

Have you checked our [conjoining product]? It’s a good fit with ours and can be used alongside HubSpot to solve for X.

18
Q

We’re happy the way things are.

A

That’s great! Can you tell me how you’re currently solving for X?

19

Your product doesn’t work with our current tools.

A

Which tools are you currently using? What do those tools help you accomplish?

20
Q

Your product sounds great, but I’m too swamped right now to handle implementation?

A

I understand. It typically takes our customers 2 months to get fully set up and running. Our customer success team holds your hand in showing you how to use HubSpot and will work with you to set things up to take some heavy lifting off of you. How many minutes a day do you spend on X problem?

21
Q

I’m busy right now.

A

Is it a good busy or a bad busy? I don’t want to take up too much of your time. Can we have a quick chat about your marketing/sales strategy and how HubSpot may help?

22
Q

Just send me some information.

A

I’d be happy to send you some materials, but I want to make sure that they’re relevant to you. What are you interested in learning about?

23
Q

How did you get my information?

A

I came across your website in my research and believe that HubSpot would be a great fit for you.

24
Q

I’m not responsible for making these decisions.

A

Thanks for letting me know you’re not the right person to discuss this with. Who on your team handles these types of decisions? Can you introduce me to them?
