Hubspot is getting way too expensive for my small business and they don’t care at all that they are pricing loyal customers out. What’s a more affordable alternative?

What do you primarily use it for?

Some of the most popular choices are Salesforce, Zoho, and SugarCRM, which all provide a range of features that can help small business owners manage and optimize their customer relationships. Each platform offers different levels of complexity and price points, so it's important to do some research to find out what would be the best fit for your company.

In my company we just switched to Zoho and so far we like it a lot, but I don't know if it is cheaper than Hubspot.

Depending on your needs, you may want to look into software like Ontraport, Infusionsoft, or ActiveCampaign for email marketing and analytics. They typically offer similar features at a fraction of the cost of Hubspot, so it's worth exploring your options

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed. However, he seems to be someone who turns around every other hour to ask ‘Is it done’? I am usually pretty good at managing expectations but having a hard time conveying how unreasonable he is being. Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily
