How We HubSpot: Buyer Persona Differences

It took a lot of work to find this article. I am grateful to find discussion on strategy!

This article is limited in only stating that a multi-layered segmentation is available but does not go into detail on how to set up this strategy within Hubspot. Questions I still have:

When is it appropriate to employ lists vs. custom properties vs. personas to create the necessary segmentation?

Here is a visual of the segmentation I am trying to create. Any feedback is appreciated!

  • B2C with 2 segments: Local and Out-of-State

    • Hot Lead
    • Warm Lead
    • Cold Lead
  • B2B - Referring Agents with 2 segments: Passive and Active

    • Rookie (Out of Network)
    • Veteran (Out of Network)
    • Brand Loyal Agent (In-Network)
