Next week, over 24,000 marketing and sales professionals are gathering in Boston for HubSpot’s annual INBOUND conference, are you ready? 

In our digital world, having the opportunity to network and connect face-to-face with like-minded people is rare – and an adventure our team doesn’t take lightly! Think about it; most business deals aren’t made in an office setting. When you’re shaking a hand to make a deal, it’s typically over dinner, a drink, at an event, or on the golf course. In-person interactions are sacred, and conferences can be the very key you need to help create, build, and nurture lasting relationships. 

Marketing Automation, Sales, Customer Service Support Sessions, and MORE! 

From making connections and generating new business to staying current with the latest and greatest trends, INBOUND is a beneficial step in an individual’s or company’s growth strategy. There are many inbound marketing sessions offered during the three-day conference, but because HubSpot’s tool now reaches beyond marketing automation, sales and customer service support sessions are also quickly filling up.

• Can your team build a strategic sales play?  
• Do you understand the difference between each platforms’ use of video? 
• Are you effectively using personalization and emotion in your sales process?
