HubSpot’s New Features in Sales & Service Hub Professional
With HubSpot constantly working to improve their platform, the CRM company has just rolled out new features available for Sales and Service Hubs. Their latest work with these SaaS products focuses on increasing functionality of their Professional tier subscription.
So, what’s new for Sales Hub and Service Hub Professional, as of May 2022? Playbooks, call transcription & coaching, and inbound calling are all now available at the professional tier.
Playbooks
This tool will allow you to organize resource material easily through recipe-like templates, compiling information at any time without the need for separate files or too much space taken up within your account. This can also help stay organized on all your sales and service related protocols and best practice–perfect during those hectic weeks when there is always more coming down the pipeline but not enough hours in the day!
With playbooks, you can create a library of information that you can then easily share with your team, directly within the HubSpot CRM.

- Create up to 5 playbooks

Who Can Benefit from Sales and Service Hub?
HubSpot's sales software is designed to increase your team’s productivity. The service side of things also improves with more people working for you on the same account, so if that sounds like something up your alley, then be sure to upgrade!
Upgrading from Starter to Professional
Are you a current HubSpot user with a subscription for Sales and/or Service Hub Starter? How do you know when it’s time to upgrade from starter to professional?
Off the bat, you’ll see that the starter level of both Hubs allows for only 2 chairs a month on the account, whereas the professional tier will upgrade that number to 5 chairs. So, if your sales or service departments are growing, or you simply need more people from your team getting involved in these HubSpot products, upgrading to professional will allow you to increase the amount of users on your account.
Another reason to upgrade to the professional tier is for the amount of additional features that you’ll be able to utilize.
