Dear HubSpot,
I just want to point out that a vast majority of your users are not decision makers... were are merely Sales Professionals. Being in Sales, we rely on access to information within the system. You covering up the information we need access to is counterproductive. The message bars are a big turn off as they do not make us feel all warm and cozy. Not everyone has multiple curved screen monitors with more desktop realestate than one knows what to do with it. Many of us are mobile, working on laptops with limited comforts and ergonimics.
In addition, again as we are Sales Professionals, thus we do not have administrative rights nor do we have decision making power within our organization. If you'd like to promote those who do have authority to purchase more features from you, make them visible to those with Admin rights so the rest of us can go about our day without further obstructions. Or, simply make them removable instead of a thorn in our sides. The choice is yours, just please hear us and get them out of our way and day.
Sincerely,
HS Sales Users Around the World
