Marketing Hub adds a full prospect-to-client layer on top of CherryWorks Pro — included in the Business plan, with no cross-contamination between marketing and billing records.
Track prospects and companies in their own tables, completely separate from billing clients. Tags, custom fields, activity timeline.
Broadcast to a segment, or run multi-step automated outreach. Stops the moment a prospect replies or is promoted to a client.
Marketing data lives in dedicated database tables — no foreign keys to your books, no cross-contamination between marketing and billing records.
