How HubSpot AI Helps SMEs Save Time and Generate More Leads

​AI is transforming how businesses work, and HubSpot is right at the centre of it. In our latest webinar, we showed how the new AI features inside HubSpot can help you save time, follow up more effectively and generate a steady flow of leads.

From smarter prospecting to instant content creation, these tools are designed to make life easier for business owners and managers who are already juggling multiple responsibilities.

The Challenges Many Business Owners Face

You might be in the office or on site early in the morning, dealing with emails, staff questions and a few key clients. Sales might feel unpredictable because too much depends on a handful of accounts. Marketing might be something you know you should be doing, but it has not delivered the return you hoped for in the past. Time for follow-up is limited. The exit strategy for the future feels uncertain without a steady pipeline.

If so, you’re not alone - this is the reality for many owners and directors, and it is why tools like HubSpot AI are so valuable.

5 Quick Wins To Try HubSpot AI Right Away

1. Ask Breeze each morning, “Show me the ten warmest contacts I should call”, then use the AI-drafted email follow-up.
2. Build a list of contacts who have opened an email in the last 30 days but have had no activity in the past 60 days, and send a re-engagement email.
3. Turn your top five FAQs into Customer Agent answers to reduce repetitive support questions.
4. Switch on the Prospecting Agent in review first mode and let it suggest personalised outreach messages to accounts you may have overlooked.
5. Use AI to refine copy and generate images directly in HubSpot so marketing campaigns can launch in hours rather than weeks.

Do You Need The Professional or Enterprise Version Of HubSpot To Use Their AI Features?

Not necessarily. Many of the AI features are available on Starter. Advanced agents and automation are included in Pro and Enterprise. HubSpot uses monthly AI credits for some actions, while everyday content tools often do not require them. A good approach is to start small, measure the time saved and the extra leads generated and then scale up when it is clearly paying back.
