It feels like summer is well on the way, and to brighten your mood even more we’ve done a roundup of all HubSpot’s latest new features and updates and what they mean for users. Let’s dive in.
Multi-Hub Updates
Inbound Calling & HubSpot Provided Phone Numbers
This update allows HubSpot users to centralise all phone conversation records in one place. You can now forward inbound calls to your phone and use the same number for outbound calls. The update also allows you to set up call transcription and coaching, allowing you to more easily review calls and look at factors like script and length to improve results. The update is available to Sales and Service Hub Starter customers with a HubSpot-provided US, UK, or Canadian phone number. Find out more here.
Call Transcription & Coaching, Playbooks Coming to Sales and Service Hub Pro
Sales and Service reps can now view call recordings and transcripts directly in the CRM. Combine with coaching and playbooks features, this makes it easier than ever to get an insightful look at your sales and service interactions to make improvements and optimise customer interactions.
With playbooks, you can also create interactive content cards to display in contact, company, deal, and ticket records — standardising notes and saving time when speaking to prospects and customers.
