HubSpot's limitations

HubSpot isn't made for event venue sales

HubSpot excels at generalist CRM for typical B2B sales cycles. But it lacks the features specific to event venues, forcing you to use multiple tools or expensive customization to fill the gaps.

  • No native availability and space management - you can't see which spaces are free on which dates
  • No event proposal creation - you need separate tools for quotes and proposals
  • No BEOs or operational coordination - event execution requires additional systems
  • Requires expensive customization to adapt - custom objects, workflows, and integrations add up quickly

Why this venue left HubSpot for Joinways

Context

An event space used HubSpot for CRM but had to juggle Excel for availability, Word for proposals, and email for coordination. The fragmentation was causing errors and wasting time.

Migration

Switched to Joinways to have CRM, proposals, and coordination in one tool. Migrated contacts and history, trained the team on the new workflow.

Result

End of multiple disconnected tools. Significant time savings - the team estimates 10 hours per week. Better visibility into activity and pipeline. Fewer errors from manual data transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Joinways as powerful as HubSpot for general CRM features?
For general CRM features like marketing automation and complex sales sequences, HubSpot is more complete. But for event sales specifically, Joinways is better suited because it integrates industry features HubSpot doesn't have natively.
Can I keep HubSpot for marketing and use Joinways for event sales?
It's possible but generally not necessary. Joinways covers the complete event sales cycle. For advanced marketing automation, integration is possible. Most venues find Joinways sufficient for their needs.
Is migration from HubSpot to Joinways complicated?
No. We import your contacts and history. Migration typically takes 2-3 weeks with our support. The biggest change is workflow - Joinways works differently because it's designed for events.
Does Joinways cost less than HubSpot for venue management?
Generally yes, especially compared to HubSpot Sales Hub Pro/Enterprise which you'd need for serious sales functionality. Plus you don't need additional tools for proposals and coordination, which adds up quickly.
Can I try Joinways before migrating from HubSpot?
Yes. Our trial period lets you evaluate if Joinways meets your needs before making a decision. You can run both systems in parallel during the evaluation to compare workflows.
