Key Feature Call Out

Mobile Lead Management

In today’s hybrid and remote work environment, having full access to HubSpot’s tools on the go is more important than ever. That’s why I’m excited to share HubSpot’s latest update: the public beta for Mobile Lead Management.

At first, I was a bit skeptical about the Lead Object, but its ability to centralize all pre-sales activities has truly won me over. And now that Lead Management is available on mobile, I’m officially sold. Even if I’m still not crazy about the name “Lead Object,” the functionality speaks for itself.

This update is available to Sales Enterprise and Pro accounts.

What Is It?

HubSpot’s new Mobile Lead Management beta allows you to prospect and qualify leads directly from the HubSpot mobile app. This feature brings the power of lead management to your fingertips, ensuring you can stay productive no matter where you are. Whether you’re in the office or on the go, the new Lead Object helps you streamline processes, stay organized, and maintain focus on your pre-sales activities.

 

Why Does It Matter?

The Mobile Lead Management beta offers significant advantages for your workflow. Here’s how this beta and the Lead Object can benefit your team:

  • Streamlined Processes: The new lead object brings a unified approach to managing leads, making it easier to stay organized and focused.
  • Total Mobility: Prospect and qualify leads from anywhere, without compromising on functionality or effectiveness.
  • Improved Efficiency: Enhance your workflow by seamlessly transitioning between desktop and mobile, ensuring continuity and productivity.
