Here's a round-up of the most important new features released by HubSpot. This time we're looking at the new HubSpot Website CMS with plenty more features than WordPress and Conversations for Customer Service.
As always you can listen by watching this video or read on...
New HubSpot Website Content Management System (CMS)
HubSpot CMS is the only Content Management System (CMS) that combines the power of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) into one integrated platform. It can be purchased as a standalone product, or with any other HubSpot product such as Marketing and Sales.
What we say
What FANTASTIC news that we now have access to a stand-alone CMS. WordPress has a large share of the website CMS market, BUT, to get all the features that HubSpot offers you need a LOT of separate systems working around your Wordpress website = difficult to manage, increased security risks, no way to know a genuine ROI from your sales and marketing activity. This is a great article on what it would cost to build a HubSpot alternative.
When you see the HubSpot CMS feature list you'll know why it's now the best CMS to use for your next website:

Conversations to help your customer service team
Personalised conversations at scale. Better relationships. With live chat, team email, and an easy-to-use chatbot builder, HubSpot gives you the messaging tools and context to have personalised conversations with prospects and customers at scale — for free!
What we say
HubSpot has called this new feature Conversations because it's all about making it easy for your customer service person or team to manage communication with each contact and that means everything in one place from email, phone, and website live chat. It's free and it's part of the also free HubSpot CRM.
If you have centralised emails such as support@ or sales@ then this is for you. You connect the email address so that HubSpot CRM can send and receive emails.
And, it includes a free bot builder so you can setup automated live chat to help qualify new leads, answer common questions, and setup calls for your sales team.
