It's been sometime since the last time I sent such an update but that doesn't mean there haven't been any updates :)

On the contrary, since Q4 2023 we've been systematically changing hubsell to fit our customers' current and latent needs.

Changes are made ranging from business model to data processing and to the way LinkedIn outreach is done.

All of it for the better.

I will be resuming this update email so look forward to the June edition in July, but for now please read this update and let us know if you have feedback.

New blog post:

"AI prompts for outbound sales [to setup calls in 2024]"

Let me start by saying that AI won't replace sales people, but sales people using AI will replace sales people that don't. So what does that mean for you?

Well that means that you need to start using AI to augment yourself and get more out of your time, yesterday. Read more.

May 2024 was incredibly productive for us, so here are some exciting new features for you.

1. Sequences now support InMails

By popular demand and after having spoken with outbound experts we decided to add InMails as an action in the Sequences flow.

InMails

hubsell's plugin will send InMails and free messages to LIONs (LinkedIn open networkers - which won't use your InMail credits).

Tip: Use InMails with people that did not accept your connection request. Often times, they will go and accept your connection request after they accept your InMail.

2. Prompt testing 2.0

You spoke and we listened. The previous version of testing the prompt was more of an MVP than a full fledged feature.

We changed that.

Test-the-prompt

Now you can (as numbered in the image):

Change the subject line on the fly for each email email in the test phase.
Edit the content for action (email, connection request note, InMail and DMs).
We updated the contact cards to show more information along with their direct links.
THE BEST PART: you can now approve the email in the testing phase already by clicking "Save to Send".

NOTE: Click on "Back to instructions" to go back to editing the prompt.

3. AI content approval

This section of hubsell was lacking some "Quality of Life" features that several users voice independently.

We took notice and handles most if not all of the feedback in this update.

Approval

As shown in the image above:

You can change the subject line of a generated email.
You could always edit the body, but now the edit mode is always on. No need to click on the pencil icon :)
The contacts cards are updated to be much more informative (just like in the test the prompt phase).
You can delete 1 or all generated items (emails, LinkedIn DMs, Inmails) using the new Delete button.
You can Regenerate the content instantly (different from Delete in the sense that delete will simply delete the saved content and new content will be generated based on the schedule).
You can approve one or all (not much changed here but the little arrows added to Approve and Delete to provide the "All" option).

So there you have it. That is what we were able to achieve in May.

What's next 🚀 for June:

We are doubling down our efforts to improve hubsell's UI and your experience of it.

Result: less frustration, more profit for you.

Our main project for June is data.

We are simplifying the way data is processed and delivered to you.

We will enable data delivery at point 0 - which is currently 'Waiting/approval' phase. So when you click on "Auto add contacts" on the hubsell Plugin, that data will be added to your account and ready to be used in a Sequence.

(Think here, LinkedIn only Sequences because that data will have the following data points: First Name, Last Name, Title, Location, Company name and LinkedIn URL, LinkedIn Company Page URL).

We will enable collecting information of contact's posts.

And we will creating a more flexible credit consumption model.
