We are a small-sized company (20 employees) with a budget and cash flow problem (too much money invested in a new technology that is finally selling). I'm thinking on Infusionsoft because it offers a lot of solutions for different legacy systems that we built/modified in-house such as online store, payment gateway, CRM, spreadsheets, and off course it will have the marketing automation feature. We are just using Sugar CRM with mailchimp and 1 sales person. The idea is that it will serve us to grow until we can afford better solution such as marketo or hubspot.
I have been working with HubSpot for almost 5 years. I've consulted with *hundreds* of companies in a very similar position to you.
In my experience, the man-hours it takes to manage multiple systems cobbled together far outweigh the dollars a system like HubSpot cost.
Further, there are countless inefficiencies that become factors when trying to synchronize databases, lead tracking, scoring, and effective lead nurturing.
I'd like to talk with you more about this before a poor decision is made. Shoot me a message and I'll waive my consultation rate for a quick call. I think we can find ways to make this work for your best interest long term.
