Sales reps will find this tool extremely helpful in their selling process. Below are some tips and tricks for your reps:

The simple fact that a prospect filled out the Website Grader form means they are thinking about their website's performance and primed for outreach.
Their scores on each category can help you highlight an area that CMS (and your expertise) can help them improve, and enable you to proactively reach out to catch their attention.
If you're already actively working a prospect, but struggling to move them along, you can fill in their site yourself and show them the results and convince them to change.
Best practice: screenshot their score and send a follow up email with their grade directly in it.

Service and Customer reps will find this tool extremely helpful in their retention, advising, and cross-sell process. Below are some tips and tricks for your reps:

If a customer shows low adoption and usage of the HubSpot tools, you can show them where they're missing the mark and advise them where to focus their attention based on their scores.
If a customer is using Marketing Hub or any other HubSpot products, but has yet to buy into CMS, you can run their site through the grader to show them the value of switching (cross-sell).
Increase the need for your services. Even if they're not ready to switch, their low grades could open the conversation for your services to help them.
Best practice: screenshot their score and send a follow up email with their grade directly in it.
Follow up: send them the Academy lesson on 'optimizing and improving your website'
