-- HubSpot Integrates with Salesforce.com Enabling Closed Loop Marketing--
News Facts
- Increasingly, the customer is taking control of the sales and marketing process, forcing marketers to rethink outbound or interruption based marketing techniques like cold calling, direct mail and email blasts.

Quote, attributable to Brian Halligan, CEO and Founder, HubSpot
"Marketing and sales are inexorably linked yet historically both functions have been unable to fully leverage their mutual abilities. HubSpot Professional allows marketing and sales to work in tandem resulting in a more efficient and more successful customer acquisition process. With closed loop marketing, both departments continually improve their activities leading to an ever improving lead conversion rate."
Quote, attributable to Art Gehring, Director of Marketing, Makana Solutions, Inc.
"In our first three months of using HubSpot, the number of visitors to our website increased 75 percent. So when HubSpot Professional became available, we jumped on board immediately. The implementation took under an hour, and we saw the lead intelligence right away. Based on the closed loop marketing analysis in HubSpot Professional, we are already starting to optimize our marketing and sales activities to help us acquire customers more efficiently."
