Why HubSpot Scares Leaders (And Why It Shouldn't)

What if the CRM you've been avoiding is actually... easy to use? 👀 (Yes, really!)
In this candid conversation, Vye's CEO Jen Lawrence and HubSpot Pro Jessica Crosby pull back the curtain on why so many leaders freeze when it comes to pulling the trigger on CRMs, and specifically HubSpot.
Unlike those bulky enterprise systems requiring an IT army to operate, HubSpot was built for humans. No technical architects needed. No custom coding required. Just intuitive navigation that gets you where you need to go without a treasure map of clicks.
Jessica reveals how even the most tech-resistant teams — including those still clinging to paper systems — quickly adapt to HubSpot's refreshingly straightforward approach. (Heck, you can use it the day you purchase it!)
While your competitors remain paralyzed by perfectionism and fear of making the wrong move, discover how forward-thinking companies broke through their hesitation and transformed their customer journeys overnight.
Stop fearing your tech stack and start leveraging it. This episode shows you exactly how to make that leap without falling into the traps that snare most businesses.
