We’re using Hubspot Sales Hub Pro but hitting some snags. The 500 emails per day limit is a big one. Even upgrading to Enterprise might not cut it for our niche market of 15,000+ businesses. We wish they had a pay-per-extra-emails option.
Another pain point is the 50-contact cap for adding to sequences. It’s a real time-sink when we’re trying to reach thousands of CFOs.
Has anyone found ways to get around these? We’d rather not use a separate platform, as we want to keep everything in Hubspot. But if that’s our only choice, are there good third-party options that play nice with Hubspot?
Any tips or tricks would be super helpful. Thanks!
Having dealt with similar issues, I can suggest a few strategies. Consider leveraging Hubspot’s integration capabilities. We’ve successfully used Zapier to connect Hubspot with other email platforms, effectively bypassing the daily limit while maintaining our data in Hubspot.
For sequences, try breaking your large contact lists into smaller, more targeted groups. This not only helps with the 50-contact cap but also improves personalization and engagement rates.
Another option is to explore Hubspot’s partner ecosystem. There are several approved tools that extend Hubspot’s functionality without compromising data integrity.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of optimizing your current processes. We found that refining our targeting and messaging actually reduced our need for high-volume outreach while improving overall campaign performance.
hey there! i’ve been in the same boat. one trick we used was splitting our email lists and sending in batches over a few days. keeps you under the limit but still hits everyone.
for sequences, try hubspot’s workflows instead. no contact cap there. bit more work to set up but way more flexible.
if you really need more emails, look into using hubspot’s API with something like mailgun. bypasses limits but keeps data in hubspot.
I’ve faced similar challenges with Hubspot’s limitations. One workaround we found effective was to segment our contact list and stagger our email campaigns throughout the week. This helped us stay under the daily limit while still reaching our entire audience over time.
For sequences, we started using Hubspot’s workflows instead. They’re more flexible and don’t have the same contact cap. It requires a bit more setup, but it’s worth it for larger campaigns.
If you absolutely need to send more emails, consider using Hubspot’s API to integrate with a dedicated email service provider like Mailgun or SendGrid. This can bypass the email limits while keeping your data in Hubspot.
As for third-party options, we’ve had success with Outreach.io. It integrates well with Hubspot and offers more robust sequencing capabilities. Just be mindful of data syncing to avoid duplications.
Remember, while these workarounds can help, it’s crucial to balance volume with engagement. Sometimes, a more targeted approach can yield better results than mass outreach.
