HubSpot is a customer relationship management (CRM) platform with a range of sales and marketing tools. In 2024, over 200,000 people use HubSpot to engage with their (potential) customers and get more sales. Hubspot also has a feature for sales emails, as well as sequences for contacts already in the CRM.<\/span><\/p>\n

But can you do cold email marketing with HubSpot? Let’s find out and add some alternatives you should consider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you send cold emails with HubSpot?<\/b><\/h2>\n\"Hubspot\"\n

No, cold emailing with HubSpot goes against their guidelines. According to<\/span> HubSpot’s Acceptable Use Policy<\/span><\/a>, reaching out to contacts who have not agreed to receive emails is forbidden. According to HubSpot, they forbid cold emails in order to protect your sender reputation and stop you from going to spam folders.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you email cold contacts with HubSpot once or twice and get caught, HubSpot will send you a warning. Repeated violations can get your HubSpot account suspended.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are my options for cold emailing with HubSpot?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There really are none. First, you could only send out emails to inbound sales leads or any leads that willingly opt in to receive communications from you. Of course, this means saying goodbye to cold emailing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second option is to use an email service provider that integrates with HubSpot and allows you to send cold emails outside of this platform. This means using one tool to send out cold emails and once the recipients start responding, sending those leads back to the CRM and adding them as contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can then use HubSpot to continue the conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

This approach can help you get more cold email success, bypass spam filters and not get banned from HubSpot for violating their cold email policy.<\/span><\/p>\n
