With any sales team, no matter the size of the team or the organization, having a CRM system is crucial to success and transparent reporting. But, like everything, change is hard — and if your team is used to working from offline CRM platforms, they’ll need to be empowered with knowledge and understanding to work with online CRM platforms.
Luckily, HubSpot CRM has plenty of tools and classes to make sure you and your team are up and running on this platform in no time. (And in case you’re wondering, we’re a huge proponent of using the platform for a whole range of great reasons.)
We’ve curated a list of the five best must-watch training videos that will turn your sales team into experts in HubSpot CRM. Being skilled in the platform means you and your team can leverage its power to the max, streamlining the sales process and reporting with accurate data. Read on to discover how you and your team can get easily trained on the most important aspects of HubSpot CRM:
1. Learn the Ropes
Congratulations — you’ve just joined HubSpot CRM. What should you focus on first? The course Mastering the Basics of Sales Hub Starter is the perfect course to get your sales team off on the right foot.
While this training session clocks in at an hour — and we understand that’s a time commitment, it’s a worthy lesson in the basics. We recommend it frequently to our clients, who tend to agree.
This session will teach you and your team the functionality of HubSpot Sales Hub and review the essentials you need to successfully bring prospects through your sales funnel. By the time it’s over, your team will have the information they need to get started with confidence.
You’ll learn how to:
- Manage and customize your properties to give your team the best possible experience. Properties enable you to determine the type of information you want to collect from prospects. The approach allows your sales team to form connections with potential customers and avoid mishaps, such as calling the prospect by the wrong name.
- Implement your sales process into HubSpot CRM. The best part of getting started with HubSpot is you can make HubSpot fit your needs, not the other way around. Don’t worry about writing new materials for your sales process — just learn how to adjust HubSpot to meet those needs.
- Utilize key tools that let your sales team get back to what they are good at — selling — and free them up from time-wasting, unnecessary tasks.
- Create reports that give your team transparency into the pipeline and others’ activities, and make it easier to pull numbers when you’re in crunch time.
