Part 3. How to Leverage Fundz Data in HubSpot

HubSpot allows you to easily view and filter records. Combined with Fundz data, this allows for powerful prospecting opportunities.

For example, you can add the properties "recent funding amount" and "recent funding date" as columns in a saved company view. Then, you can sort the data, so the most recent fundings always appear at the top of this view. Once you click into the company record, you will also see if Fundz was able to add related contacts.

In addition, depending on your HubSpot subscription, you can creat automated workflows based on these properties.

For example, if you are using the HubSpot Marketing Professional or Enterprise edition, you can create a workflow which sends out automated email to executives at companies once the property "recent funding amount" has a known value. You can learn more about HubSpot workflows here.
