How to boost sales rep productivity with HubSpot & Superhuman
How to boost sales rep productivity with HubSpot & Superhuman

Often the biggest improvement to a sales team's tech stack is a better integration, not a new tool. 

Sales leaders know that tool overload can drain rep productivity. HubSpot research found that one in four sales leaders say they maintain too many tools, and 45% of reps are overwhelmed by the number of tools in their stack. A simpler stack decreases context-switching, distractions, and monitoring, which can unlock impressive productivity gains. 

The cornerstones of the sales stack are email and a CRM, and the bar for an integration should be much higher than "doesn't break". Superhuman is blazingly fast email that saves teams over 10 million hours every single year. HubSpot CRM is an easy-to-use, free suite of powerful sales productivity tools. Together, they support sales reps to focus on what they do best β€” build relationships and sell, by bringing sales intelligence and deal collaboration directly into your inbox.

Sales teams save time and close more deals with Superhuman & HubSpot

Get full context without breaking focus

Superhuman shows HubSpot contacts, companies, and deals right inside your inbox. Simply hover over a recipient and the data will display in the sidebar.

The average salesperson spends 13 hours per week on email. Having critical deal information available at a glance saves time, reduces context-switching, and helps craft precise and personal outreach quickly. 

In Superhuman, reps can choose which HubSpot objects and properties are shown, and can add their own.

The customizable view lets reps focus on the deal data that matters most, without ever breaking their inbox workflow. The time saved can be devoted to relationships, follow-ups, and pipeline health.

"Superhuman is an essential sales tool for me. It helps my team reduce crossed wires, get back to clients on time, and stay focused.  With the HubSpot integration I can do my work in one place and reduce context switching."

Focus on the right deals at the right time

Reps report moving faster on the deals that matter most, thanks to HubSpot in their inbox and Superhuman's features for high-performing sales teams, such as Recent Opens and Superhuman AI.

Recent Opens shows a feed of who is opening your emails. Reps know when they’re top of mind, so they can follow up with perfect timing.

Superhuman AI is a powerful email assistant that can summarize whole conversations, draft replies in your own voice, and search 2-3x faster than the AI search in Gmail and Outlook.

With HubSpot and Superhuman working together, a rep's workflow might look like this:

  • Sees activity in Recent Opens. Notices that a prospect has opened a recap email sent 3 weeks ago.
  • Opens the conversation, checks HubSpot information in the side panel. Notices the deal is a high priority. 
  • Uses Ask AI to check if any teammates have recently corresponded with the prospect, or others at the target company.
  • Sends a personalized follow-up email, using Write with AI to prepare a full draft in their own voice from just a few phrases. 
  • Sets themselves a Reminder to follow-up in 2 days. 
  • Updates a "Next steps" custom HubSpot property 
  • Marks the conversation done, clearing it from their inbox

All within a few minutes, all without switching context, all while keeping HubSpot up-to-date and sharing visibility with their team. For a rep, acting with such responsiveness is key. As our own Head of Sales, Andrew Johnston, noted in his blueprint for sales success for product-led growth teams:

"The simplest and most effective thing you can do is lean in when the customer is leaning in. You need to meet interest with interest. You need to be as responsive, attentive, and proactive as you can."

High-performing sales teams using HubSpot and Superhuman save hours of busywork, bring sales intelligence and deal collaboration directly into the inbox, and focus on the deals that matter. 

"I send 50+ customer emails a day, and being able to stay in email and see all the HubSpot data in the Superhuman sidebar saves me 3-4 minutes on every email. I can’t imagine getting work done without it."
