Integrations your business needs to have

No matter what business you’re in, streamlining processes is a sure way to boost your productivity and increase revenue. And, fortunately for you, there are thousands of integrations and applications that can help you do just that. But we know choosing the right integration can be tricky, so we’ve put together a list of integrations we think every business should have to optimise their business processes.

Lead generation

Adding an instant communication tool (like SMS) to your lead generation funnel helps you turn leads into paying customers more quickly. With the right integration in place, you can manage your leads and automate notifications from a single interface. And better yet, if you’ve got SMS in the mix, you will be notified the moment there is a new lead, wasting no time in the conversion process.

If you’re looking to generate more leads, try out LeadsBridge. It’s a powerful tool focusing on bridging gaps between your advertising platforms and sales funnels.

Sales enablement

One of the most effective ways to empower your sales force is to use a Customer Relationship Management software, otherwise known as a CRM. These tools collect and display all customer data in one place, giving you a 360-degree view of your customer. When your CRM is integrated with your chosen communication platform, all interactions between your team and the customer are consolidated and recorded in the Customer Activity Log. And with added features like lead scoring and deal flow management, your teams will be closing deals in no time.

HubSpot's CRM platform has all the tools and integrations you need for marketing, sales, content management, and customer service.

Triggered SMS messages help you to automate the engagement with your customers at various stages in their user journey, giving them a great customer experience so they keep coming back. Quickly and easily SMS-enable any of these engagement tools for a more robust solution.
