What is HubSpot's Inbound Methodology

HubSpot Flywheel

Inbound Marketing is a methodology for attracting prospects and customers by creating valuable content and experiences tailored to the different stages of the buyer’s journey.

The traditional top-down marketing funnel has evolved into a momentum-based inbound marketing flywheel. The flywheel model works well for financial, agricultural, and professional services firms.

When a prospect is attracted, you engage with them, provide value through content marketing, convert them to a customer, and then delight them by continuing to provide value. The customer will then participate in your growth by becoming an advocate of your business.

  • Attract

    To attract leads, firms must first earn the attention of leads by offering valuable content structured within a carefully planned user experience that encourages the lead to Engage.

  • Engage

    Firms must compete to engage with prospects and clients by producing and distributing quality content, such as market reports, educational articles, e-books, guides, blog posts, video, audio, and media appearances.

  • Delight

    Keeping the “delight” stage going is very important as most financial services are extremely competitive with many customers perceiving limited differences in providers and pricing. A differentiated edge can be created using content and the “delight” stage provides customers with information, tools, and services that make it easier to conduct more transactions as well as solidify a client’s loyalty through great experiences.

How Marketers Can Get Sales Teams on Board with HubSpot

Sales and Marketing must work well together for successful results. Marketers and HubSpot are a natural match but getting an entire sales team on board with HubSpot can be challenging. Here are 7 ways Marketing can encourage Sales to adopt and leverage the power of HubSpot:

  1. A Full Onboarding Session – pull in a HubSpot Certified specialist (like ours) to facilitate the session, allow team members to ask questions and provide feedback, offer actionable ways for sales team members to get started, and set milestones.
  2. Get Sales team Buy-In by Highlighting Benefits of HubSpot Tools – HubSpot makes it easy for sales to identify the most qualified leads, enables seamless communication between sales and marketing teams, automates repetitive tasks to save time, and HubSpot has data-driven analytics, tools, and reports that sales will appreciate.
  3. Assign a Single Point of Contact (POC) – having a singular go-to for all things HubSpot can make life easier and reduce confusion for sales team members who have questions or need ongoing training.
  4. Encourage Sales Team Members to Dedicate Just 5 Minutes Each Day to HubSpot – When your team starts with a simple task, like entering in contacts or tracking new SQL activity for five minutes a day, they're still logging in, using the platform, and are getting familiar with it. This will make it easier to incorporate new tools that help them become even more effective as they acclimate to the tool and begin to use it more.
  5. Hold Regular HubSpot-Focused Team Meetings – Weekly check-in meetings create a space for sales team members to learn from each other how to better use HubSpot in their daily operations.
  6. Encourage Friendly Competition - For example, if your sales team is new to HubSpot, set a challenge to see who can log into and use their HubSpot account the most consistently. After that, you can up the stakes to see who can log the most deals in the HubSpot sales pipeline, and finally, graduate to who can close the most deals.
  7. Consider Hiring a HubSpot Partner Agency - If you're getting started with HubSpot, you don't have to go it alone. A HubSpot Partner Agency can help you get the most out of your investment.
