When HubSpot surveyed a handful of business leaders within our customer base, we discovered that most expect to see “somewhat slower” or “much slower” growth in the next year as a result of the global pandemic and economic climate.
Data from our more-than 70,000 global customer base supports business slowdown predictions. In the first few weeks of the crisis, we saw that while sales outreach has increased, response rates and deal volume dropped to new lows. Although sales email engagement has rebounded greatly to new highs in recent days, the large and noticeable dip demonstrates the uncertainty and evolving metrics that brands are seeing right now.
