Welcome to the realm of seamless connections, where technology weaves its magic to revolutionize the way we work! In today’s hyper-digital world, the right connections, particularly between software platforms, can supercharge productivity and redefine efficiency. A compelling testament to this power of connection is the dynamic duo of HubSpot CRM and DealHub. These two tech titans, when linked, can transform your sales processes, enhancing customer relationships and ultimately driving revenue growth. So, buckle up and join us as we delve into the marvel of this tech alliance and how it’s redefining the art of selling.

The power of connected technology

In a landscape where our lives are intricately woven into the fabric of technology, the concept of “connection” has taken on a whole new dimension. Think about it: your smartphone syncs seamlessly with your smartwatch, your car connects to your calendar, and even your fridge can remind you to buy milk. This very essence of connection is also revolutionizing the world of business software. We’re no longer talking about isolated tools but about integrated solutions that sing in harmony to amplify productivity and redefine how we operate.

Business software should offer just as seamless a connection as you have between your watch and phone. When companies weave together different technological solutions, like CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote), they can optimize the way they operate and create a seamless buyer’s journey for customers.

Connecting technologies from a business perspective means:

Amplified efficiency. Imagine your sales, marketing, and customer success teams sharing data, insights, and updates effortlessly. No more silos, no more duplicated efforts – just a fluid exchange of information that propels your business forward.

Unleashed Productivity. Automation streamlines routine tasks, flags essential events, and even nudges sales representatives when it’s time to follow up. With the grunt work taken care of, sales can spend time on more high-value activities – such as building client relationships.

Enhanced collaboration. In a world where remote work and virtual teams are the norm, connected technologies bridge geographical gaps. Your colleagues can collaborate seamlessly on projects, share real-time updates, and brainstorm ideas as if they were in the same room.

Data-driven insights. When your CRM talks to your analytics platform and your CPQ and billing platform feeds into your forecasting tools, you gain a panoramic view of your business’s health. This data-driven perspective enables you to make informed decisions, spot trends, and confidently pivot your strategy.

Agile adaptation. Business landscapes evolve rapidly, and flexibility is essential. When your technologies are connected, adapting to change becomes a breeze. Whether it’s shifting market trends, regulatory adjustments, or sudden industry disruptions, your interconnected systems can pivot and adjust without causing chaos.

Scalable growth. As your business grows, so do its complexities. Connected technologies lay the foundation for scaling. Whether expanding into new markets, launching additional product lines, or onboarding more customers, your integrated systems can handle the increased load gracefully.

The power of integration: CRM and CPQ

Integrating your CRM and CPQ can be a particularly effective game-changer from a sales perspective. In fact, combining the two and being able to see a more holistic view of your marketing and sales efforts can be a catalyst for sales success. A CPQ CRM integration provides:

Harnessing integration for elevated business operations

1. Enhanced sales efficiency

Picture this: your sales team can seamlessly access customer data, track interactions, and manage quotes, all within a single interface. No more toggling between different platforms or drowning in a sea of tabs or long email threads. It’s like having your entire sales toolkit neatly organized at your fingertips.

2. Real-time pricing and product information

Gone are the days of scouring spreadsheets or playing phone tag with your product team. With CRM and CPQ integration, you’ll have real-time pricing and product availability insights to ensure sales representatives can whip up accurate quotes on the fly.

3. Consistency in quotes

Integration ensures that the numbers and terms on your quotes align perfectly with your customer’s history and your business’s policies.

4. Increased sales effectiveness

Streamlined processes mean your sales superstars can spend more time doing what they do best – selling! Less manual admin work equals more time building relationships and closing deals.

5. Cross-sell and upsell opportunities

When your CRM and CPQ join forces, they become the ultimate tag team for spotting cross-selling and upselling opportunities. Sales representatives can use the insights to propose other options that speak to a client’s needs and solve their problems while ensuring the company generates more revenue.

6. Automated workflows

Tedious manual data entry isn’t enjoyable for anyone. There’s also a higher likelihood of human error. Integration removes the gruntwork and inaccuracy of manual inputs by automating workflows, ensuring every lead gets a follow-up, and no task is left unfinished.

7. Improved sales forecasting

Take the guesswork out of forecasting! With data flowing seamlessly between CRM and CPQ, your ability to predict the future becomes sharper, giving you a clearer view of what lies ahead.

8. Enhanced customer experience

Imagine delivering a level of personalization to your customers that makes them feel like you “get it.” Integrating CRM and CPQ allows sales to see the full scope of client interactions with your product or service – including past purchases – to enable your sales representatives to tailor quotes and offer meaningful solutions to their pain points.

9. Data insights and analytics

Numbers tell stories, and integration provides a rich buffet of data insights. By merging CRM and CPQ, you’ll know what’s working, what’s not, and where the untapped opportunities lie.

10. Simplified reporting and compliance

Bid farewell to the days of struggling through spreadsheets to generate reports. Integration simplifies the reporting process, ensuring you’re always compliant and in the know.

The power of optimization: HubSpot CRM + DealHub

Now, let’s zoom in on the main act: the powerhouse partnership of HubSpot CRM and DealHub. This isn’t just about integration but optimization at its finest.

The power of optimization: HubSpot CRM + DealHub

  • Responsive problem-solving. With a holistic view of customer data, your team can quickly identify pain points and provide solutions.

Unlock revenue opportunities:

  • Upsell and cross-sell. Access to real-time product and pricing information allows your sales team to quickly identify cross-selling and upselling opportunities.
  • Perform data-driven decision-making. Teams can analyze which quotes are converting, which products are gaining traction, and which customer base segments are most profitable to fine-tune sales tactics.
  • Build efficient sales forecasting. The integration provides a clear view of your pipeline to anticipate future revenue and make informed business decisions.

A DealHub + HubSpot CRM case study: Edgio

Want to see the power of optimization in action? Look no further than Edgio’s Case Study, which showcases how a HubSpot CRM + DealHub work together seamlessly.

Today’s B2B sales teams are contending with an ever-growing number of stakeholders (11 on average, according to Gartner), a larger and more sophisticated tech stack, and often, highly complex pricing and product configurations. The end result? A sales process that’s lengthier and more difficult to navigate than ever before.

A tremendous need exists to streamline business processes – according to Siftery, top companies use an average of 37 different tools or platforms to run their day-to-day operations. And over 80% of business operations leaders say data integration is critical to ongoing operations.

This is where CRM integrations come into the picture. They’re an important tool for sales organizations that are looking to leverage automation and other technological capabilities to improve collaboration, accelerate time to revenue, increase sales productivity, and eliminate time-consuming, error-prone manual processes.

The value of HubSpot CRM integrations

HubSpot is one of the most popular CRM solutions for sales and marketing teams, and like other leading CRMs, it’s able to connect with hundreds of different third-party software applications – thus expanding its usability and versatility as a central business tool.

More and more sales teams are choosing software that easily integrates with their HubSpot CRM so they can improve productivity, streamline operations and communications, ensure data hygiene within their CRM, and reduce administrative overhead. This also enables them to gain the most value out of their existing CRM investment.

With more than 400 HubSpot integrations available on their App Marketplace, we’ve compiled a list of 11 popular sales tools so you can easily identify some tried-and-true solutions that will help you achieve a more frictionless sales experience. So without further ado, here they are in alphabetical order…

1. Chili Piper

Chili Piper is a Meeting Lifecycle Automation platform that helps revenue teams connect with buyers faster and convert more revenue. It works with HubSpot Forms by collecting and moving booking data in real time and syncing meeting data with the contact’s information, while automatically updating your HubSpot CRM.

Some key benefits of this integration include:

  • Increasing conversion of inbound leads
  • Eliminating lead-routing spreadsheets
  • Eliminating manual data entry

If you’re looking to configure lead routing and improve scheduling functionality to convert inbound leads into qualified meetings, this is a worthwhile integration for your organization.

2. DealHub

DealHub offers a unified platform for price quotes, contracts and subscription management. Among other things, sales teams can use DealHub’s CPQ integration with HubSpot to generate price quotes and proposals. Having this quote tool in HubSpot makes it easy for sales reps to sell according to a predetermined sales strategy (using an intuitive sales playbook), send sales proposals in record time, and carry out a smooth and quick sales process.

DealHub’s configure-price-quote functionality also enables anyone – from sales reps to account managers to customer success managers – to easily generate renewal, upsell and cross-sell opportunities from within HubSpot CRM. This ensures a more frictionless sales process, and ensures data is kept accurate and up-to-date in a single location, easily accessible across the organization.

Some key benefits of integrating DealHub CPQ with HubSpot CRM:

  • Accelerate selling with an intuitive guided-selling playbook
  • Easily configure complex price quotes
  • Generate accurate and professional proposals in seconds
  • Ensure compliance and remove bottlenecks with automated approval workflows

Iterating DocuSign with HubSpot CRM enables you to:

Despite the number of sales technologies out there – or perhaps as a result of it – the B2B sales process has become more complex than ever. Research indicates that today’s sales process takes roughly 22% longer than it did five years ago, and only 53% of sales reps are meeting or exceeding their quota. 

So how did we get to this point? One of the key factors behind a high-friction sales process is the complexity of pricing and product requirements. B2B deals are often composed of a multitude of products, services, and dependencies. And when teams are relying on tools that don’t communicate with one another, it becomes difficult for sales teams to do their job effectively and close deals smoothly. Such tools include things like their CRM, price and product books, Configure Price Quote software (CPQ), and more.

Your operations team may be doing a diligent job of managing and maintaining your Hubspot CRM. But there are certain sales processes that can be added, improved or automated within your HubSpot experience in order to reduce the administrative burden and better manage pricing and quoting processes.

By integrating a CPQ (Configure Price Quote) tool with your Hubspot CRM, your sales organization will improve efficiency and experience a more frictionless sales process. In this article, we address common points of friction experienced by sales teams, and reveal four ways DealHub’s HubSpot CPQ solution enables you to deliver one fluid sales motion

Common points of friction in the B2B sales process

According to one survey, 47% of sales reps do not report selling as their main activity during their workweek. With that number being so high, it’s important to understand what’s holding them back from spending more time actively selling. 

Some of the most common friction points faced by sales teams on a regular basis include:

1. Taking a long time to respond to customers. Sales reps should be able to generate proposals quickly and efficiently to respond to customer requests and needs. This helps to ensure there’s no loss in sales momentum and the opportunity for your buyer to go with the competition. 

2. Inefficient back-and-forth communication draw out the negotiation process and creates opportunities for miscommunication – which can prove costly. For example, it can be a tedious process for sales reps to follow-up with lengthy and complex email threads.

3. Tools that do not communicate with one other, which forces sales reps to shift between tools throughout the course of their work. This kind of context-switching reduces efficiency and productivity, and is a barrier to obtaining holistic sales insights.

4. Lengthy approval cycles on both the buyer and seller side. This can be a major source of friction for deals that are high in value, scope or complexity.

5. Lack of a strategic framework around pricing, products, and other sales processes, which makes it even more difficult for sales reps to sell.

Why HubSpot users experience sales friction

HubSpot is a robust CRM for sales professionals, but you may want tools that are purpose-built for certain functions. When these tools don’t communicate seamlessly with your CRM it causes issues and wastes time. By choosing the right tools and leveraging automation in your sales process, sales reps can save up to 5 hours every week

You can have the best of both worlds and get the most of your HubSpot investment. And by improving and automating certain processes you can provide your sales team with a frictionless sales process. 

How DealHub’s HubSpot CPQ solution enables frictionless selling

Integrating a CPQ tool with your HubSpot CRM helps organizations to continue using the tools they love while enhancing their capabilities so sales reps can become more efficient. We’ve put together four important DealHub HubSpot CPQ capabilities to help you achieve a frictionless selling process. 

4 ways DealHub CPQ enables frictionless selling with HubSpot CPQ solution

1. A sales playbook to guide reps through the quoting process 

Sales leaders can add guided questions using rule-based logic to ensure sales reps are making the best selling decisions possible, which helps to reduce administrative oversight. In addition, guided selling ensures consistency, speed, and fewer errors. Because sales reps must follow pricing strategies set by sales leaders they cannot discount customers out of predefined margins. 

2. Document generation to deliver sales proposals in less time

With DealHub, sales reps can generate specific documents in minutes. This includes pricing quotes, business proposals, order forms, contracts, and agreements (MSA, EULA, NDA, Terms, Privacy, etc.). Documents can be generated and populated based on pre-built templates, dynamic content, CRM-based integrated data, and information inputted during the guided-selling process.

DealHub automates the document generation process so sales reps can save time and effort, avoid costly errors, and send personalized and professionally branded documents in just a few clicks. This also has the benefit of standardizing documentation across their entire sales organization.

3. CRM synchronization to eliminate repetitive manual tasks

Sales teams spend a lot of time with manual data entry, such as coping over deal information, and product and pricing information. Not only is this time-consuming, but it helps sales reps avoid costly errors and inaccuracies that can slow deals down. Having real-time sync between your DealHub CPQ and HubSpot CRM ensures your CRM remains a single source of truth, with accurate and up-to-date information that is readily available to anyone within the organization.  

Research from our 2021 Benchmark Report for Revenue Leaders shows that sales teams using DealHub CPQ can create accurate quotes in just eight minutes. Additionally, 52% of SMB companies and 32% of enterprise organizations are able to send a proposal in less than 30 minutes when using DealHub’s CPQ.

4. Automated approval workflows to accelerate deal-closing

Approval is another key stage of the sales process where deals often get bogged down. With automated approval workflows, you can accelerate approvals, eliminate unnecessary back-and-forth communication, and shorten time to revenue.

How does it work? For each deal, you can easily configure a customized workflow that establishes who needs to provide approval, in what order, and at what stage of the deal. Approvals can happen in parallel, and documents will automatically be re-sent for approval if any revisions are made. This way, sales reps can achieve simultaneous approvals from different parties, automatically reroute approvals as necessary, and dramatically accelerate the deal-closing process.

Deliver one fluid sales motion with DealHub CPQ and HubSpot CRM

HubSpot is a popular CRM and for good reason. Sales teams use it to store customer data, track buyer engagement and interactions, and manage deal information. Their powerful CRM software allows sales teams to gain deeper insights into potential leads, buyers, and key stakeholders and automate manual tasks so sales reps can focus on what they do best: selling. 

Unfortunately, there are key parts of the sales process that can’t be effectively conducted through a CRM alone. Pricing is a key part of the sales process, and most companies need a modern CPQ (configure price quote) solution to configure product or service offerings, establish pricing rules and discounting guidelines, generate error-free quotes, and create professional proposals that are personalized to customers’ needs.

With a powerful CPQ software solution, businesses can streamline their sales process and reduce time-consuming administrative tasks for sales and operations teams. 

In this article, we discuss how integrating DealHub CPQ with your Hubspot CRM enhances your HubSpot experience and helps sales teams close deals faster, improves productivity, and streamlines the sales process. We also provide some guidelines and considerations on when your company should consider implementing CPQ software. 

A CPQ in HubSpot helps make the most out of your HubSpot investment

You’ve already invested a lot into your HubSpot CRM, and DealHub helps you get even more out of it by integrating your HubSpot CRM with DealHub’s CPQ solution

DealHub is the #1-rated CPQ and it can be deployed in a matter of weeks – whereas other CPQ solutions take 9-12 months to implement and have a 35% failure rate. And thanks to our no-code configuration environment, you can configure and maintain pricing models without any additional developer resources.

Benefits of connecting DealHub CPQ with your Hubspot CRM

DealHub CPQ streamlines the selling process and also reduces administrative oversight. Some of the benefits you will experience from implementing and adopting DealHub’s CPQ software include: 

Accelerate the speed at which deals are closed

With a CPQ, sales teams can improve response time and how quickly they produce proposals. DealHub’s 2021 Benchmark Report concluded that 52% of SMBs that have adopted a CPQ are able to send proposals within 30 minutes while 90% of enterprise organizations are able to send out personalized proposals in less than four hours.

Generate personalized and error-free quotes quickly and efficiently 

Automatically synced with your CRM, DealHub makes it easy for sales reps to create professional quotes in a matter of minutes. No need for complicated calculations, sales reps can input changes in quantity or discounts with changes immediately reflected in both systems. 

Automate lengthy manual tasks and key parts of the sales process

With automated workflow approvals, sales reps can move quickly through the deal process without endless back-and-forth communication. Sales leaders can set pricing and discounting thresholds that are either automatically approved or rerouted for manual review.

Enforce pricing strategies and best practices with guided selling

Pricing and sales strategies only need to be set once in the sales playbook. After they’re inputted, DealHub’s CPQ will take reps through guided questions about the deal to assist them in creating accurate quotes that ensure reps are in-line with organizational pricing strategies and best practices. 

Bring all of your sales tools together into one centralized platform 

Sales reps often find themselves juggling between tools that do not connect with each other, wasting valuable time and creating the opportunity for errors. DealHub is a unified CPQ, CLM (contract management), and Subscription Management platform that allows reps to handle deals efficiently from quote to close. 

Requires no coding and is quick to implement and easy to maintain

DealHub’s no-code CPQ doesn’t require any backend configuration changes. With the right permissions, sales leaders can make modifications to your product library, making it easy to maintain.

When to consider a CPQ for your HubSpot CRM

With a CPQ, you are committing to a new tech solution and making changes to the way your team and other departments work. How do you know when you’ve reached a point when you need to invest in a CPQ to improve sales rep performance and processes? Typically it is a matter of deal and product complexity and quantity, and the need to scale up your sales operations. Below are four indications that the time has come to implement and adopt DealHub CPQ with your HubSpot CRM.

1. Accelerate the quoting process

With a CPQ you can reduce the amount of time it takes sales reps to respond to customers with accurate pricing and generate standardized and professional quotes and proposals. Guided selling eliminates time-consuming administrative tasks, ensures that no inappropriate discounting decisions are being made by sales reps and that they’re following best practices for quote creation set by the leadership.

2. Configure pricing and products with accuracy

Eliminate quoting errors and inaccuracies, whether due to a sales rep mistake or pricing that is out-of-date. In addition, all quotes and deal data are synced to your HubSpot CRM creating a single source of truth regarding products and pricing for your sales team.

3. Manage subscriptions and automate renewals

DealHub makes it easy to automate time-consuming manual tasks. For example, configure pricing strategies to make it easy for sales reps to manage renewals and expansions. 

4. Speed up approval processes

Approvals are a significant barrier to deals. It is often the case that details need to be sent back and forth, which can delay communication and slow down the sales process. This can be solved with advanced quote approval workflows that ensure adherence to the sales strategy, pricing guidelines, and legal policies.
