Hubspot

Hubspot's Sales Hub is a cloud-based CRM tool designed off the back of one of the best marketing tools out there. For a great all-in-one solution, users commonly experience slow ramp-up times due to a lack of guidance in their visually confusing interface.

Salesforce

Salesforce is a cloud-based CRM designed for large businesses. Despite the power and capabilities that stretch to all corners of an enterprise it lacks the agility, ease-of-use and price point growth-minded businesses desperately need when trying to scale.

Membrain

Membrain is a cloud-based Sales Enablement CRM designed for B2B companies focused on improving the performance of their sales team. Dedicated to reducing complexity and generating the right selling behaviors, Membrain makes it easy to sell better.

5 Reasons Membrain is the Best Hubspot or Salesforce Alternative

Easy to Use

Success in the complex B2B arena hinges on sales team compliance with the software.

With a lot of up front work to get started, most CRM's make it hard to get started. Unlike the competition, Membrain has low churn rates due to its unparalleled onboarding, customer service and intuitive interface.

While offering similar levels of features, many find Hubspot and Salesforce to be overwhelming and complex to set up and their customer support lacking.

Power That Gives Control

Hubspot’s sales software was built with a marketing focus, whereas Membrain’s focus is and always has been about increasing the efficiency of a sales process within complex sales.

This is why users save time and make smarter decisions with the intelligent connections between deals, contacts and companies that Membrain provides.

Nothing kills the ability to control a situation more than a lack of visibility. Membrain gives a lot of power to the sales manager with robust and intelligent analytics that make it easy to forecast accurately, while only Enterprise users get access to this feature within Hubspot. 

It’s also easy to hold your salespeople accountable with helpful alerts in Membrain that ensure prospects don’t fall through the cracks.

Flexible and Customizable

Agility in complex B2B sales is possible with software capable of adjusting to the unique qualities of each customer. 

An extensive set of custom fields and robust preview and click-to-edit capabilities in Membrain make access & modifications simple and fast while both Hubspot and Salesforce struggles to offer flexibility in adjusting information to exactly how you want to use it.

With a living process that responds to changing circumstances such as deal complexity or experience of the salesperson, Membrain makes complex sales nimble and fun.

Reclaim time and money, and update your processes and enablement on the fly as your team learns and grows.

Membrain's team is full of heart and dedicated to ensuring not just customer satisfaction, but customer success. If you're not winning, we're not winning.

Outlandishly Good Customer Service

When maintaining momentum with your team, nothing is as valuable as a team of skilled business professionals to answer your calls when problems arise. Membrain offers this level of phone support free of charge, whereas the customer support at Salesforce is renowned for being slow and ineffective

Instead of relying on email and chat support with Hubspot, sales managers who are focused on getting their team to the next level don’t have to worry about problems disrupting their focus with the collaborative problem solving offered by Membrain. 

 

Make It Stick

Getting your team into the zone instantly with intuitive processes and integrated guidance is what sets Membrain apart. With unique visual guidance Membrain highlights prospects and deals needing attention, which helps coaches focus the team on making progress.

Designed to help sales organizations master the art of complex sales, Membrain helps teams maintain momentum with sales empowerment tools, unlike both Hubspot and Salesforce, who requires multiple add-ons to achieve the same thing.  

Sales reps need the guidance of a master plan in order to consistently win deals and Membrain saves managers time with responsive playbooks that integrate seamlessly within a process.

A centralized content repository makes passing on best practices and wisdom a fluid and seamless experience. With Membrain, your unique training material pops up at the right time in a sales rep’s process, making it easy to execute on sales strategies. Hubspot makes it harder to make training stick without the ability to natively pull and share enablement.
