- HubSpot CRM technical expertise: a HubSpot customer support specialist will be familiar with the HubSpot CRM as well as many of the integrations that might be employed. No training will be required and they will know how to make the best use of all the CRM features.
- Provide better coverage: with a remote team your business will be able to offer HubSpot support services to your customers across multiple channels like live chat, social media, email, phone and others making it easier to get the help they need.
Roles and responsibilities of HubSpot Customer Service Specialist
The primary purpose of a HubSpot customer service agent is to handle customer issues as quickly and efficiently as possible in a professional manner. Customer support can begin well before a product is ever purchased such as responding to inquiries about a product or providing information on pricing and customer service basically never ends. The roles and responsibilities of the HubSpot CRM customer service specialist fall into 3 broad categories which are all related.
Customer Services
These are the services everybody thinks of when you talk about customer support. Responding to customer inquiries, resolving customer issues and complaints, taking orders, tracking deliveries and a variety of other tasks make up customer services. The specialist will communicate with customers across a variety of channels to resolve any issues to the customer’s satisfaction.
Customer Care
Customer care relates to how well customer support services are delivered. A HubSpot customer care specialist will not only resolve customer issues but do so in a manner that demonstrates your business truly cares about providing an outstanding customer service experience. Customers appreciate being appreciated. When agents’ interactions with your clients show that they care about resolving the issues they have, customers recognize and respond to this. Good customer care agents are attentive when listening to customers so they can determine exactly what the issue is and the customer’s expectations regarding the outcome, and then provide the best solution. Customer care is about taking the extra step to provide the best possible customer service experience
Customer Retention
Customer retention is about turning a 1-time buyer into a loyal customer for life. A HubSpot customer retention specialist does this by providing an exceptional customer experience. They can use the tracking and analysis features of the CRM to provide a more personalized experience. Eliciting customer feedback through surveys and other methods to identify areas for improvement, follow-up after a sale or customer issue, client onboarding and other methods are employed to provide a great customer experience that will keep customers coming back to your business.
Services a Dedicated HubSpot Support Team Can Provide
A dedicated remote HubSpot support team can provide your business with a wide variety of support services. Here are some of the major customer services a team of HubSpot specialists can provide.
Client Onboarding
The client onboarding process will vary depending on the company. A HubSpot client onboarding specialist can customize the onboarding process to suit the particular needs of your business. Some of the onboarding tasks that may be implemented include sending personalized emails to new clients, assisting clients with product setup, providing a walk-through and training for the product, checking in with clients from time to time, providing information about updates to the product and informing them of new products.
Order Management
HubSpot integrates with a wide variety of order management software like Katana, Zoey and many others depending on your specific needs. The HubSpot order management agent will be familiar with the available integrations and how to use them. From taking the initial order to the successful delivery of the product they will track the package and provide location updates to the customer on request. They can also arrange for product shipment and any other tasks associated with customer orders.
Inventory and Invoice Management
Inventory management and order invoice in HubSpot will require knowledge of HubSpot as well as the available inventory and invoice integrations.

Project Management
