In the HubShots Framework, Stage 3 is focussed on automation in HubSpot. That is, automating as many processes as appropriate. The key word to note here is: appropriate. Many companies try to add completely new stuff using automation, before they’ve even automated their existing manual processes The trap they fall into is automating a bunch of processes that add little value (eg mass spamming) to...
In this post: HubSpot partners making bold claims about HubSpot versus Salesforce Business sophistication (not size) is the key Salesforce clarity HubSpot’s direction A reasonable response Footnotes (including HubSpot gaps) Bold claims I’ve been a little puzzled by some of the posts I’ve seen on LinkedIn, over the last year or so, by HubSpot Partners making comparisons between...
I love using HubSpot and I’d love to move this blog over to HubSpot instead of WordPress.
But there’s no easy way to import all the comments over – and I have decades of comments.
That’s all.
HubSpot announced they are acquiring Clearbit.
Makes perfect sense.
And fits in beautifully as part of the CRM puzzle I wrote about here. Ian and I also chatted about it here on our YouTube show.
Really looking forward to this being so seamless.
Here’s the part of the show where Ian and I chat about it (53:55 mark):

Focus on providing value to customers and helping them provide value to their own customers...
Episode 304 of HubShots is out – in this monster episode (over an hour long) Ian and I chat through: HubSpot’s recent product announcements and what we can learn from them Is HubSpot a CRM or a Customer Platform? Campaign Assistant, now with added AI Prospecting tool benefits The Workflow cleanup feature is pretty handy Using WordPress and HubSpot CMS together HubSpot Guide Creator What...
This is one of those dumb ‘tips’ that is actually something you should consider – to get around HubSpot’s hard bounce rate rules. My thanks to Adam at FGM for highlighting this one to me. HubSpot’s marketing emails have limits around bounce rates and spam rates – and if you exceed those limits you’ll potentially see your account suspended. I know, crazy. But here’s the thing –...
An interesting nugget to consider from INBOUND is the messaging HubSpot is testing in market.
HubSpot is a CRM Platform… (from their home page):
