Every marketer will have used SurveyMonkey at some point or other, some regularly and some sporadically. HubSpot has integrated SurveyMonkey within its Connect feature, allowing you to bring surveys closer into your inbound marketing strategies.

This lets you gain deeper insights into your contacts, from segmenting contacts based on their responses and seamlessly passing their details onto your sales team, to managing content preferences so respondents only ever get the topics they want to see.
