As the name implies, pinned notes for HubSpot CRM are just like your regular sticky notes which can be attached to a contact’s profile, providing insight into the sales process and keeping critical information concerning a prospect handy.
From a customer who's facing a pending support issue to the engaged lead who you're trying to build rapport with, pinned notes provide a place to display summary information to improve the connection between your prospects and your team.
Whether it’s a note to “remember to ask how his cousin’s wedding went”, or it’s just an update on a customer order, pinned notes help add that extra degree of personalization and bring you information right where you need it.
For an added punch, using the @ sign, you can tag your team members to a pinned note to get their take on a situation, suggest an action, or just crack a random joke.
With 3.38 billion active monthly users, there’s no doubt that your ideal prospects are on Facebook and Instagram on its photo sharing platform. With the huge community available on both social networks, Facebook and Instagram have proven to be ideal for reaching out to potential customers with offers.
And here’s where HubSpot comes in: HubSpot’s free CRM enables users to link Facebook/Instagram pages in order to create and launch lead capture ads right from the HubSpot dashboard.
In case you’re wondering what lead ads are, they’re simply ads that offer what your prospects would be interested in, requiring them to provide their contact information to learn more. Once a lead clicks on your ad, they’ll be directed to a form that’ll be automatically filled out with the contact details associated with their Facebook/Instagram account and requiring their consent to submit it.
Finally, HubSpot has an extensive knowledge base that’s designed to provide digital handholding from start until you launch your lead ad campaign.
