Connect your calendar to HubSpotThe Google Calendar two-way integration with HubSpot allows you to simultaneously log a meeting in your CRM, create a calendar event for that meeting, and send invites to meeting guests.

SurroundR connects your LinkedIn relationship data to HubSpot, syncing activity to contact records.While your team works in HubSpot, SurroundR shows directly on each record which teammates are already connected with that person.Most sales teams waste their warmest asset: existing relationships.Reps send cold connection requests to people a colleague already knows, prospects get approached by multiple reps from the same company, and warm introduction opportunities go unnoticed because nobody can see the team's combined network.The result is lower reply rates, damaged credibility, and slower pipeline.SurroundR solves this by making your team's network visible at the moment it matters — right inside your HubSpot profile, before you go to LinkedIn and hit "Connect."Instead of going in cold, reps route through the teammate who has the relationship and turn cold outreach into warm introductions.Install SurroundR if your team prospects on LinkedIn and you want:Reply rates that reflect warm outreach, not cold spray — leverage existing relationships instead of starting from zero.One company voice toward every prospect — no duplicate or conflicting outreach from multiple reps.SurroundR also includes Chirps, video messaging built for outbound: record short, personal videos for prospects so your outreach feels human — whether you're going in warm through a teammate's connection or opening a new conversation.
