Content marketing becomes more powerful when combined with a contact database that’s rich with prospective customers’ preferences, demographics and other data. Sending the right content at the right time to the right person is the strategy of inbound marketing. So how can companies make that process more data-driven and automated?
Seismic’s AI-powered platform surfaces hyper-relevant content you can use to connect with prospects, and when combined with the HubSpot CRM, reduces time spent on sales activities and research.
Sales organisations that use CRMs see increased sales, revenue and productivity when used effectively and regularly. And they’re even more advantageous to teams with CRMs and integrations across both sales and marketing.
Here’s how B2B organisations, sales teams, marketing teams and sales enablement teams in industries like tech, financial services and manufacturing can use the Seismic Integration with HubSpot to close deals up to 60% faster.
Benefits of using AI-powered sales enablement tools with the HubSpot CRM
AI is designed to help improve automated processes, anticipate needs, solve challenges and save overall time and effort. For rapidly growing companies, there comes a point where systems need to scale up to accommodate the quantity of data they are processing.
Finding AI-powered sales enablement tools like Seismic leaves sales and marketing teams to think, “Why weren’t we doing this before?”
How AI-Powered sales enablement tools benefit sales and marketing teams
Seismic recommends content based on HubSpot data such as where the buyer is in the sales cycle, which products they use, industry data and competitor information. When the content recommendations can be reviewed, sent, tracked and followed up all right in HubSpot, it reduces clicks and manual time spent searching for the perfect conversation starter.
Here are a few ways that Seismic can help sales and marketing teams automate and scale their workflows.
Boost sales team efficiency
With data-powered content recommendations right in the CRM, sellers have all the tools they need to conduct prospect research and outreach right in HubSpot, saving them time.
Accelerate sales pipelines
Using Seismic and HubSpot, sales reps can quickly verify that it’s relevant and send it to the prospect, then track engagement in real time. Sellers can store content and then access it in HubSpot when it’s the right time for the prospect to receive it. When content is hyper-personalised and sent at the right time in the buyer’s journey, it increases buyer and prospect engagement.
Increase marketing and enablement effectiveness
With a singular location for sales content, marketing teams can provide new content that aligns with the overall company strategy, and update it over time without having to chase down every sales representative individually. Reporting dashboards make it easier to understand how content is performing and optimise content strategy and creation to align with sales teams’ needs.
