Well, that experiment took off, because professional salespeople need to be fast and efficient in adding, enriching, and connecting with contacts, so in 2016, HubSpot kicked it up a notch and made what we now know as HubSpot Sales as both a free and a paid version. ## HubSpot Sales Comes In a Few Flavors The free version is legit, as I outlined above. HubSpot then offers a "Starter Customer Platform" for just $15/mo and it might be all you need for months or even years as an SMB. You get lightweight editions of Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, Service Hub, Content Hub, Operations Hub, and even Commerce Hub. I'm not exaggerating when I say many solopreneurs, consultants, speakers, authors, and coaches may ONLY need this $15/mo plan—and maybe some ancillary 3rd party tools—to start, run, and grow a thriving business. As I said before, HubSpot is smart with their ascension model: Free, Not-too-pricey, Pricey, OUCH!!! But as a user and partner since 2014, I must confess that HubSpot offers... - The best user experience across the board - The best training and certifications, both free and with your subscription - The best 24/7 phone support   [![See Why I Recommend This $15 CRM to Everyone...](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/443614/interactive-122574935953.png)](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJoOxOMsbZXs7sPcytJyTJ9Uk16vpg%2By2gOSdaJWzARDdfQ1Yy7osl%2FOS4xeYYV8Ns7njdLAxf0%2BrhD0wO6v9r%2B8CWw0czschh3XH54tYz69HCuU%2FmSkxDEDMFZoPWLRJgj%2BYF0lZH9b2FRKPL2sR30ub7oyhoviMGTcLbb%2BIqjNONqp%2B62NXwCv6UwI%2Bhb%2BQihHHOywKviLrgfOKwFB6s%3D&webInteractiveContentId=122574935953&portalId=443614)   If you have already outgrown these capabilities and/or you know you will sooner rather than later, then you'll need to check out Sales Hub Professional ($90/mo/user) or Sales Hub Enterprise ($150/mo/user), both of which come with an annual contract, whereas Free and Starter are month-to-month. ## Why Choose The Free HubSpot Sales HubSpot's Free CRM gives sales professionals everything you need to become an inbound sales-creating machine!  As it was with Sidekick, so it is with HubSpot Sales, i.e., you get all of the same email productivity features with their Chrome extension: - Email Open & Click Tracking - Email Scheduling - Contact Profiles, and more. HubSpot has also sweetened the pot with some sniffs of the best features of HubSpot Sales Professional to the mix. **HubSpot Sales Professional** has the magic to supercharge each stage of your sales process, including: - Email Templates - Documents - Calling - Meetings, and - Prospects are just some of the useful tools that make up HubSpot Sales Professional. ## What does this mean for you? Mo' better sales!! As a lifelong salesman who has used many CRMs such as Onyx, Siebel, Salesforce, Ontraport, Nimble, Keap, and HubSpot, I can tell you with total confidence that HubSpot and their Sales add-on make me more efficient. The entire HubSpot platform is fast, stable, and intuitive. Their support is best-of-class. The tool is truly free. The $15 upgrade is feature-rich. Now go sell something.   [![See Why I Recommend This $15 CRM to Everyone...](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/443614/interactive-122574935953.png)](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJoOxOMsbZXs7sPcytJyTJ9Uk16vpg%2By2gOSdaJWzARDdfQ1Yy7osl%2FOS4xeYYV8Ns7njdLAxf0%2BrhD0wO6v9r%2B8CWw0czschh3XH54tYz69HCuU%2FmSkxDEDMFZoPWLRJgj%2BYF0lZH9b2FRKPL2sR30ub7oyhoviMGTcLbb%2BIqjNONqp%2B62NXwCv6UwI%2Bhb%2BQihHHOywKviLrgfOKwFB6s%3D&webInteractiveContentId=122574935953&portalId=443614) [custom AI solution development](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/topic/custom-ai-solution-development), [Sales Training](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/topic/sales-training), [ROI of AI](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/topic/roi-of-ai) ## Related posts [![](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog-files/365%20Ways%20To%20Double%20Sales%2010%20wes_schaeffer_the_sales_whisperer.jpg?height=200&name=365%20Ways%20To%20Double%20Sales%2010%20wes_schaeffer_the_sales_whisperer.jpg)](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/365-ways-to-double-your-sales-11) [custom AI solution development](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/topic/custom-ai-solution-development), [Sales Training](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/topic/sales-training), [ROI of AI](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/topic/roi-of-ai) ## [365 Ways To Double Your Sales - 11](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/365-ways-to-double-your-sales-11) ![Picture of Wes Schaeffer](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Wes%20Schaeffer%2c%20The%20Sales%20Whisperer%20black%20white.png?width=50&name=Wes%20Schaeffer%2c%20The%20Sales%20Whisperer%20black%20white.png) [Wes Schaeffer](https://thesaleswhisperer.com/blog/author/wes-schaeffer) Jun 13, 2025 Once your prospect agrees to invite you to his place of work the real work begins.
