Mailchimp's top tier is $350 per month for 10k contacts. Why should a Sales Pro customer choose to add MHP for advanced email marketing instead of integrating Mailchimp and spending $350 vs $1,390?

The Mailchimp integration is limited and would not creat a single source of truth. Sales reps would not have insight into how their leads/customers engaged with marketing emails and marketing would not have the ability to tailor marketing emails based on sales/CRM activities.

Although the company only needs email marketing now, their needs could evolve over time for marketing. HubSpot can handle those future needs without needing to add additional point solutions.

  • The prospect/client’s agenda for the meeting and his or her expectations of the sales professional before and during the meeting.
  • The sales professional’s agenda for the meeting, and his or her expectations of the prospect before and during the meeting.

Explain the difference between HubSpot Payments and HubSpot Quotes & provide a use case for both.

HubSpot payments allows for the collection of credit card or ACH payment + checkout links for repeatable sales. Unlike a quote, which is designed specifically for the buyers, a HubSpot payments link can be used repeatedly and have checkout options for the buyer.

Quotes are better for more detailed offers and provide more customization, but they are not interactive link payment links. Quotes have the option for eSignature & payment with HubSpot or Stripe.

Explain why Salesforce's Professional Sales Cloud isn't $75 per user even though their pricing page says so. 

The $75 per user price is very misleading because in addition to that cost, there are many costs for additional modules. HubSpot does not sell per module and has very view add-ons. Many Salesforce customers sign up thinking its just $75 per user and find out they need to pay much more for needed modules whereas HubSpot includeded those features in the per user cost.
