Welcome to the Community - introduce yourself!
Hi 👋
Welcome to the HubSpot community! We are thrilled to have you here!❤️
We want you to know that this community has been created with you in mind to build professional connections, explore new ideas, access video tutorials, discover alternative solutions, and stay updated on events, product updates, and much more. 🎉
The best way to start is by learning about our community and how to participate in forums and events. You can also explore how to rank up in the community with our gamification model - but one step at a time, right? 😁
We've prepared these guides to help you get started on your HubSpot community member journey. Please take a moment to review these tips below.
The HubSpot community is mainly dedicated to all things related to HubSpot products. However, if you're looking to connect with professionals from other areas, like founders, marketers, and more, the best place to go is connect.com. There, you’ll find events for these groups and plenty of opportunities to network with people in your field.
We can't say this enough, but we are thrilled that you have joined this space, and we look forward to seeing you in the forums.
If you are focused on sales productivity/efficiency, its important to set up good, simple pipelines stages and process, and get sales people excited about using all the personal productivity tools HubSpot has to offer - good onboarding (as offered by HubSpot and its partners) can be really instrumental here.
I'm approaching with the goal of introducing myself.
I am officially a BDM at A2Z Media Qatar and formerly worked as a Corporate Ambassador at Digital Age Network UK, where I supported the MENA region unit. My academic background is in Information Systems and Project Management, with an emphasis on Digital Transformation and the use of new technologies in the media industry. I am extremely delighted to be a member of this community because I believe it is essential for Business Development and interacting with new contacts so that they may leave a more positive impact and successfully contribute to the exchange of ideas. I'm also excited to learn more about the members of the community and how we can work and learn from one another.
I'm a little bit late to the party, but I hope to become a larger part of the community in the comming months. Let's start with a little backstory...
I started doing paid design work over a decade ago, which quickly turned into web design work, and then web development as well. Over the years, I've grown more towards the development side, and these days I basically don't do any design work, but I still like to think I have a strong eye for UI and design. I've been mainly a React developer over the last 2 years, which I found to be a lot of fun.
Fast-forward to about 8 months ago when I started working as a Developer at my current company, Kelp Creative Agency, I was introduced to HubSpot. I had previously not been too familiar with the CMS ecosystems--- WordPress, Shopify, Drupal, Magento, etc.--- as I was used to doing fully custom designs and builds for the front-end, and I'd never really ventured into the CMS side of things. And I'd never even heard of HubSpot.
These days, CMS work is pretty much all I do, and HubSpot is by far my preferred platform. Development is fun and intuitive and makes things easier for marketers and even for us developers by being able to recycle aspects of our work a whole lot more than you can for a custom build. And the UI, while not perfect in many regards, is far better than its competitors.
Currently, I'm working desperately to try to get an entry in for this year's HubSpot Theme Contest 2021, and hopefully even win the Tesla (my car broke down several months ago and I am now working from home with no car 😬). I've got some pretty good, unique ideas to make a really great theme, I think, (and I've even got some unique ideas for next year's contest, if there is one) but the real challenge is to get it done in time--- there's so much to do! I've been encountering some pretty niche and tricky bugs along the way, and I've been reporting them as much as possible to the HubSpot Slack server, but that's one thing I wish HubSpot had, either a Slack channel or Community category dedicated to reporting bugs in the CMS and website, and typoes, inaccuracies, or errors in the docs.
I hope I can share my passion and help HubSpot continue to grow and evolve with my ideas and suggestions, as well as help a bunch of other developers along the way.
Sorry that was a bit long, but I hope you got to know me a bit better, and I hope I get to know you a bit better as well. Nice to meet you all!

Will do. Besides "bugs", I also find a lot of typos and small issues around the website, which generally aren't all that important, but I still think they are worth pointing out, when they'll usually only take someone a moment to fix.
I don't think things like that warrant a support ticket though, and even a forum post might be a bit much, but it would be better than nothing I think. I mostly just post on random Slack channels or pester @jmclaren about little things I find, but I don't want to do that too much, so I mostly keep them to myself. 🤣
I'm Kris and recently started at a Hubspot Partner Agency and I am excited to learn and grow here and engage with this community. Keep being awesome and great humans seeking to learn, grow, and develop togerther to help those we serve do their job better.
New to HubSpot and looking forward to learning all the features that can help me systemize and scale my business.
I am in the Business Brokerage and M&A industry and would love to connect with others in the Business Brokerage and M&A industry to learn how they are using the platform in their business and share ideas and best practices.
