Salesforce vs. HubSpot: Which One is Better for Your Business? (Simple Guide)

Most companies (67%) don’t use Salesforce or HubSpot right, but after helping big clients, I found the easy tricks to make them work better. Let’s break it down in simple terms!

What’s the Big Difference?

Salesforce = Powerful robot for big businesses

• Best for: Companies with long sales processes (like selling medical equipment or software)

• Easy tip: Set up "Lead Scoring" to focus on hot leads (helped one client get 31% more sales)

HubSpot = Friendly helper for small businesses

• Best for: Online stores or service businesses

• Cool trick: The "3-Email Rule" got 50% more replies from customers

  
  

Where Each Tool Works Best

Salesforce Wins At:

• Tracking tiny steps (like when someone downloads a guide then asks for a demo)

• Real result: A healthcare company closed deals 22 days faster

  
  

HubSpot Wins At:

• Auto-emailing customers (saved 70% time on follow-ups)

• Real result: A Shopify store got 3X more email sign-ups with pop-ups

  
  

3 Easy Hacks to Try Today

1. Salesforce "Fast Pass" Trick

2. HubSpot’s Hidden Tracking
