Can HubSpot work as a CRM for a yacht brokerage? Yes—but the CRM needs to be configured around the way yacht brokers actually sell.
A large Pacific Northwest yacht brokerage partnered with Optimize 3.0 to replace SugarCRM with a marine-specific HubSpot CRM. The project included migrating legacy CRM and Mailchimp data, creating separate buyer and seller pipelines, automating broker assignments, integrating YachtWorld inquiries, and creating custom boat records inside HubSpot.
The result was a centralized CRM connecting yacht inventory, prospects, brokers, deals and marketing activity while giving management better visibility into the sales pipeline.

HubSpot is not an inexpensive investment. Depending on the level you choose, the inbound marketing platform can cost up to $2,400 a month (soon to be $3,200 for Enterprise). Those costs increase depending on the number of contacts you add to your portal. In addition, there's a mandatory onboarding training that costs $3,000. As these costs add up, you’ll have to ask yourself the logical question: is HubSpot worth the investment?

Have you ever contemplated what it would take to independently aggregate the most important elements of an inbound marketing campaign onto a Wordpress site? It’s likely that small to medium businesses do this research and come out with two fairly common objections to the Hubspot software solution:
“I can do all of this on Wordpress for free”
Or
“I’m not moving my site onto the Hubspot CMS”

Inbound marketing is growing like a weed. Many B2B companies are catching on to the benefits. And from a pure conceptual standpoint there’s no better way to gain new visits and leads to your website. But from my vantage point, all is not necessarily well in inbound land as it relates to training and time commitment relative to success. Here’s what I often hear from companies:
