Happy Wednesday! Thanks for the opportunity to connect with this community. 

So glad that I found this spot inside of HubSpot. I'm a newer user to HS but a 21-year veteran of CRMs in a sales/marketing capacity. I've used a plethora of CRMs over the years. From implementation to blueprinting to sales process engineering to daily sales activities applying Jordan (Wolf of Wallstreet) Belfort's Straight-Line Methodology to continue on a journey for balance in success.

If there's ever anything I can do to help anyone else learn, grow, or conquer don't ever hesitate to reach out to me directly. My mission in life is just that...grow and help others grow.

Cheers to the rest of your weeks and kicking **bleep** in your respectful positions.

All the best,

Travis

Hello everyone,

-My name is Salah, I am a web designer and working on creating a better integration with HubSpot. 
-Personally, I used HubSpot very minimally a decade ago but because of my current role, I had the chance to rediscover this great platform and dig into the many details it has. Currently, I help the marketing department with any issue they might face with HubSpot by giving them a timely and accurate help.

-A good human who excels at his work.

[TErickson_OW]

Hello All,

My name is Trish Erickson and I am a former Service Desk Manager turned System Admin. This is the first job I have had the pleasure of working with Hubspot in and I am transitioning my career into Data Management and Analysis. I have been learning Hubspot, trial by fire and have enjoyed the product, the support and the community so far. Im looking forward to netwiorking and chatting with everyone here to really fine tune our Hubspot implementation. I think we are just touching the surface of what it is capable of. 

Outside of work, I am a huge gaming nerd (Board, Card, Video, TRPG, etc), love crafting, making, reading, and generally anything that allows me to learn something new.

Have a great rest of your week all!

Trish

[TerryNicholson]

Hi, My name is Terry and I'm not sure that I am in the right place here! Let me explain.

I run a franchised business in the UK. My franchisees want to send regular, monthly or bi-monthly emails to their customers, but either doesn't have the time or understanding of Hubspot. I write the emails in HubSpot and I am looking for a solution to get them sent for my franchisees. I am not looking for an agency that will charge a fortune for the service, anyone got any ideas please?

[AlexandruB]

Hi @TerryNicholson . It would be either you, your franchisees or an agency. Now, if you create the emails, I would say that the most difficult part it is already done. The other would be to update, maintain and segment the database. Where do you struggle actually? What is the pain point?
For an agency, this might even not make sense from a business perspective - it could be a too small task. But I might be wrong - how many franchisees do you have?
Looking at this from yet another perspective - the only way to make your franchisees to use Hubspot, is to do 2 things - training and discipline. And don't assume that one training session will be enough. You will need at least a few sessions (the first will be training, the following more likely assists), and then you need to have a task management system of some sort (Hubspot can help with that too) that reminds everyone to do their thing (with you checking in, at least for a few months). Hope it helps in some way.

[TerryNicholson]

Thank you Alexandru

[danmoyle]

Hi @TerryNicholson. Are the conacts for each of your franchisees in your HubSpot portal? If you write the emails, you can send from the conact owner (the franchisee) on their behalf so it appears very personalized. That's one of the beautiful features of HubSpot! 

[TerryNicholson]

Thankyou Dan

[TerryNicholson]

Hi Thank you for the welcome. Yes I am aware that I could sned the emails
myself, but I wanted to avoid that.

regards
Terry

Hi everyone! My name is Daniella Weston* Cunningham
*all my emails are Weston, my maiden name, because it's shorter!

• What do you do? - I've been implementing HubSpot at companies since 2016. I started out in house, went to consulting and am back in house at an event software company.
• How do you use HubSpot? - Automation, CRM, Sales enablement. Although I've used it for email marketing, I wouldn't consider that my forte. I have a passion for CLEAN DATA since garbage in, means garbage out. I recently started managing an SDR and could definitely use some connections who have experience in that realm.
• What you would like to be known for in our community? - I've been called a HubSpot Hotshot in several roles, and hope to maintain that title moving forward! Haha! I'd like to become an expert in sales enablement.
• What's an area that I can grow in? - Reporting. I am great at USING HubSpot and taking mental notes of my successses within the tool, but I'd like to be better about putting hard numbers around my efforts and showing tangible results to those who aren't involved in the day-to-day use of the tool.

Hi everyone! I have a BS in Visual Communications and a minor in Creative Writing, and have been working for an equipment manufacturer in the window and door industry for 4.5 years. I've been fortunate to have experience in marketing for charitable organizations as well as large corporations. There are distinct differences in the marketing approach for both, and I hope to be able to share some of that knowledge with others using this platform.

I've been using HubSpot Marketing Hub to send eblasts to customers, develop blog content, and view valuable analytics that help me understand how my inbound marketing efforts contribute to overall equipment and eCommerce spare parts sales.

I really enjoy HubSpot Academy--the way the info is presented and the resources each lesson provides has been so helpful. I even discovered some additinoal career development events that are on my radar to attend!
