Hubspot, Salesforce, AirTable, SharpSpring, and PipeDrive - Which One Is the Best CRM?

As a freelancer, you have to manage your contacts yourself. You might not have the money to invest in a specialized piece of CRM software. One freelance programmer wanted to know if anyone in the freelancing community uses Hubspot or Salesforce. This person was doing local networking groups as well as cold calls. Importing contacts lists was getting to be inefficient for this person. This freelancer wanted to know what other people do in order to maintain an efficient contacts list as a CRM for themselves when they need to generate some new client outreach with the goal of getting jobs out of it. One person commented that they did not like HubSpot at first. They moved on, then came back to it after some time. The second time around, this person appreciated the functionality of HubSpot and was able to make good use out of the tool. There is a jump in the HubSpot pricing structure based on how much you want to get out of the tool. It takes some time to learn how to use HubSpot correctly, so you may need to dedicate a few days and immerse yourself into it. Another person stated that they use SalesForce. This is not a tool that is easy to learn how to use. The person noted that the learning curve is around 200 hours of time. If a person is not willing to commit this amount of time to learn how to use SalesForce on their own, then it is best to hire a consultant to help you learn how to make the most out of it. A few other people commented on other tools that they use for contact and cold calling purposes. One of them mentioned PipeDrive. Another mentioned that SharpSpring is more affordable than HubSpot. After this person tried SharpSpring, they moved on to AirTable and saved even more money. A few people were curious about these two options and wanted to know more about them. Some large companies use SalesForce, and freelancers may find it unaffordable unless they work with a lot of high-tier clients.
