Learn how to connect your Microsoft Dynamics CRM With HubSpot

HubSpot provides a large cache of application integrations with partner platforms, but of course, they haven’t yet created an internal combination that you are looking for.

For the many users of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, this is the case. Luckily, Scribe Software offers a solution that makes the integration of HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics CRM possible.

Integrating an automated marketing system like HubSpot, with an advanced CRM system like Microsoft Dynamics CRM, expedites the process of data flowing from the marketing team to the sales team.

The idea is to get more done faster without the need for emails, calls, or face-to-face interactions. For businesses dependent on the alignment of marketing and sales teams, the integration of these two platforms is invaluable.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM With HubSpot Systems Overview

HubSpot is a marketing automation system with a strong focus on inbound marketing. The company was founded in 2006 and has quickly become an industry leader.

HubSpot allows users to: create customized landing pages, keep track of leads, create sophisticated automated email campaigns, view visual analytic data of visitors, leads, conversions and much more.

For many mid to enterprise-level businesses, HubSpot is the go-to marketing automation service.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a platform built around the idea of smarter customer engagement. One size doesn’t fit all and with intelligent CRM software, customers can be led more efficiently through their unique buying journey.

Customers need to feel understood and Microsoft Dynamics gives insight into patterns of actions that let businesses know when to make a move and what move to make.

By streamlining the conversion process, Microsoft Dynamics benefits the customer, the marketing team, the sales team, and ultimately the entire business.

Scribe offers data integration services for ERP, CRM, and marketing automation systems.

These services include but are not limited to Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, Netsuite, HubSpot, SugarCRM, and Marketo. Scribe allows these systems to be used to their full potential by collecting, analyzing and sharing information as they sync data across an entire organization.

Why You Should Care about HubSpot?

Your company will be able to distribute data through virtually any marketing automation solution, ERP system, and CRM systems. This partitioning of data allows everyone to see the most up-to-date information regardless of which application their department is running.
You can gather data from leads using HubSpot. For example, synchronized data into Microsoft CRM; consequently, the actions an individual took, as well as their contact information is now accessible by both sales and marketing teams in real-time. Time resources and human error of manually data entry into multiple systems will be completely avoided as contacts are automatically synced between platforms.
Gain the ability to develop internal procedures using intelligent customer data so that employees can work with greater efficiency.
Quickly sync sales history: last purchase date, service type, and contract type. With marketing automation, you add the required knowledge to show prospects what they need when they need it. The combined channels and systems come together to create customized content tailored to a particular buyer persona.
Closed-loop reporting helps users understand a business’s best and worst lead sources. It lets the marketing team know what pages, what content, and what messages helped influence a viewer to finally convert. A system that is not closed-loop only looks at the prospect’s point of entry, like which blog post they happened across first.
