Episode 04: The Best Apps to Clean Up Your HubSpot CRM (2025 Edition)

“Your CRM should be an asset — not a graveyard of duplicates, dead emails, and guesswork.”

🧼 Why You Need to Clean Your HubSpot CRM Regularly

Data decay is real — and fast. According to HubSpot, CRM data decays at a rate of 22.5% annually. That means nearly a quarter of your contacts could be outdated, duplicated, or flat-out incorrect within a year.

Cleaning your CRM isn’t just about hygiene — it’s about revenue. Clean data = better segmentation, higher engagement, and more closed deals.
