After the maturity of outbound marketing methods, we had inbound marketing methods.

The somewhat traditional inbound marketing tools that we usually use are separate third-party platforms:

• WordPress: A famous content management system that allows us to create, format, and manage our blog posts.
• Email Responders like MailChimp, AWeber, and so on.
• Using social media platforms separately to publish posts and advertisements and use their analytics tools.
• Make use of spreadsheets and excel to manage clients and check out their progress via emails or Skype or other communication platforms.

With HubSpot, we have all the tools that we need in one place. There is no need to use separate third-party tools to get leads, convert, and retain our clients. You have your own:

• HubSpot CRM allows you to create blog posts, manage them, and the SEO tool will take care of SEO and internal optimisation like page speed, meta tags, and so on.
• HubSpot allows you to create a beautiful email and segment your audience that will let you send customised emails for more personalisation.
• You can use social media monitoring tools powered by HubSpot to check out your followers’ buying stage, engagement, and analytics that go much deeper than other social media analytics.
• All your contacts are in a single place where you can check out the progress of your prospects and communicate without any difficulty.

What are the advantages of working with a HubSpot Certified Partner Marketing Agency?

Here are some of the benefits of working with a HubSpot Certified Partner Marketing Agency:

1. You have your personal on-boarding specialist and a sales coach

Many marketing agencies rely on their knowledge and take a few courses to get started. However, a partner agency's way of doing business will be different. When working with a HubSpot agency partner, you will get your channel consultant and channel account manager.

Your channel consultant will help you identify and register leads via HubSpot CRM. You will learn how to monitor opportunities around you for getting the maximum results.

After that, your channel consultant will study your agency and define proper three-tiered service model. You will be gaining expertise on finding the most appropriate inbound marketing services for your agency, creating the landing page, and exporting the contacts in HubSpot database.

Now that you have a strong foundation, you and your channel account manager will review the opportunities and create an effective action plan for your agency. Your account manager will assist you to get your first client, and you will learn:

• Explanatory call
• Planning call
• HubSpot Demo
• Packaging and Pricing
• Closing

Finally, your channel consultant will walk you through delivering your services and retaining them.

2. Be a part of exclusive training

The traditional marketing agencies rely on their knowledge, which most likely is outdated. With a HubSpot partner agency, you have the edge over many other marketing agencies since HubSpot's learning academy offers all the useful insights to get familiar with the advancement of the digital world.

Your agency can also get a chance to join exclusive training either online or in-person with top HubSpot’s sales trainers. Here are some of the training lessons:

• Agency Sales Bootcamp: Learn how to identify your clients’ pain, handling an objection, and offer them alluring solutions that they cannot deny. David Weinhau (an expert HubSpot trainer) will educate you on how to get more sales.
• Agency Pipeline Generation: Dan Tyre will help you gain new skills that enable you to find more prospects and generate more opportunities with Agency Pipeline Bootcamp.
• Agency Account Management Training: Right after learning how to get more opportunities and sales, you need to maintain your client base. The agency account manager training educates you about ways to retain your client base and provide the best experience to them.
