Hi,

It would be great for HubSpot to include a delay possibility before the first step of a sequence.

Of course you can use a workflow that delays and then enrolls in a workflow, but in this situation the Sales rep calls / e-mails manually, and then enrolls in a sequence for automatic follow up tasks, depending on the outcome.
