Considering HubSpot? What Implementation Looks Like

Ep.155 - Thinking about implementing HubSpot, but not sure where to start?

In this episode of Endless Customers, Bob Ruffolo sits down with Jessica Palmeri, Director of HubSpot Training at IMPACT, and Michael Rice, Realtor® and the Conejo Valley Guy, for a practical conversation about what successful HubSpot implementation really looks like.

Michael shares why he decided it was time to move away from multiple disconnected tools and bring his sales and marketing systems together in HubSpot. Jessica offers an inside look at the onboarding process, explaining how businesses can avoid common implementation mistakes, prioritize the right workflows, and build the confidence to manage HubSpot long after onboarding is complete.
