This week, 18,000 people gathered at HubSpot’s premier marketing and sales event, INBOUND 2016. Celebrating the company’s 10th anniversary, this year’s event brimmed with inspiring speakers, entertainers and HubSpot partners, like Sagefrog, eager to learn the latest in inbound marketing.
Here’s what you missed from #INBOUND16:
- Growth Stack: Full-Funnel Support Marketing, Sales & CRM
HubSpot announced industry game-changer, Growth Stack: a simple powerful technology to grow your business. The platform lets companies track their entire marketing and sales funnel from a leads’ very first website visit. This feature closes the old-age gap between sales and marketing teams once and for all, by providing a forum that lets the departments share contacts, customer data, dashboards, reports and pipelines. And, rather than adding yet another independent tool to your company’s processes, Growth Stack integrates with popular apps like Outlook, Office 365 and Gmail.
- Partner Program: New Agency Support Features
For HubSpot agency partners like us, the Company launched a series of new features to help us and our B2B clients market, sell, deliver and grow. The new tools include event support which provides a partner event planning kit and public events listing page, free tool communities that supports the HubSpot community and lead generation, partner directory categorized by niche and accolades, access to sales pro and a helpful partner test portal. What’s better than tools that help us, help you?
- HubSpot for Free: Marketing, Sales & CRM Platforms
For small to mid-sized businesses that are looking for reliable and free CRM and marketing tools, HubSpot launched a free version of the marketing platform during INBOUND! The platform starts free and grows with teams over time, helping capture, track and convert leads.
