✓ HubspotI’m a huge advocate of Hubspot’s online booking software for small businesses as it’s so simple to use and it gives complete control over your schedule with an intuitive interface to ensure the most efficient use of time and transparency to prospective clients.Meetings booked online through the simple booking button (provided free of charge by Hubspot) sync directly with to your Gmail or Outlook calendar, so prospects can always see your most up-to-date availability and book a time that suits you both, which is a really nice touch.Letting our potential clients automatically schedule meetings with HubSpot’s meetings tool ultimately saves our team hours of time spent on unnecessary emails back and forth trying to schedule calls each month, freeing up time to allow us to focus on more crucial aspects of the day-to-day running of our business – I don’t know where we’d be without it!

✓ Hubspot
We utilize the Hubspot chatbot on our website www.anttix.com.
We selected the Hubspot chatbot last year due to the fact it is included free with our CRM. Not only does it integrate with our CRM which makes it awesome and easy to use. It also has a tracking code that enables the chat to track prospects that come to our website which we can easily convert into leads. The other reason we love the Hubspot chatbot is that our prospects and clients find the chat extremely easy to use and easy to communicate with us during business hours.

I also like that the Hubspot app on my phone allows me to message back and forth with the person in chat even if I am not in the office. Then when we are logged off or after hours the chat feature has a chatbot that will answer chat requests, gather information, and email that over to us. The chatbot function emails the conversation so we can answer our prospect or client within a timely fashion. Overall It has helped decrease our response time and allowed us to take our customer service and support to the next level.

✓ Hubspot
We are huge fans of the HubSpot chatbot. For us, what sets it apart from others is that it is tied to the CRM. Being able to make your chatbot work for whatever your need (knowledge base, qualifying leads, support, etc) while being able to tailor the experience to whoever is actually chatting with your bot is powerful. It’s resulted in many closed deals for ourselves and our clients. It’s also very nice that they have a free version that anyone can use to get started.

First, I’d like to debunk the myth that chatbots are “EITHER OR”—sorry Drift. Meaning, it’s not a chatbot OR a contact form. You can have both. Actually you should have both on your website.

People have different preferences. Phone, email, telephone, chat. It all has its place.

That being said, at STXNext we use a chatbot to drive more leads and engage with users while they are browsing our website. If it works for software agency, it could work wonders for B2C, where there’s no business development involved.

My recommendations are:

✓ Hubspot
Hubspot Bot – no brainer for Hubspot users. You’re getting chatbot out of the box.

It’s really basic but works great overall. You can create chat flows within minutes. The interface is very intuitive. One downside is customization—it’s very limited.

✓ ChatBot.com
If you’re serious about automation Chatbot.com will work great. It integrates with major messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger or Slack.

While it’s more complex in use, it offers a very powerful AI, amazing chat flow templates and robust customization.
