🖐5 tips for getting started on the Community

🤝 HubSpot Community Guidelines

💫 HubSpot Community Member Journey

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.

Thanks,

HubSpot Community team

After seven years of Marketo, we finally made the switch to Hubspot. I'm looking forward to getting a fresh start on a platform that values user experience. It seems like a really good time to come into the platform with all the recent changes — it's all new to me so nothing is in a different spot!

Hello, am Lily and am excited to be here

From syncing contacts to the flow of the deal page -- as I am getting accustomed to using all the tools in concert, it is all coming together ! 

I have used other CRMs in my past lives where snippets or even playbooks were difficult to implement. Hubspot really simplifies I am not bogged down or wasting time figuring out where to file something or how to create and save content.

Hi @DBrown79,

Welcome to the Community and HubSpot!

We're so happy to hear that your onboarding process is going well 😄 

If you have any Sales Hub related-questions or queries on best practices, please don't hesitate to create a post on the Sales Hub Board. Our community members and Community managers will be happy to chat about the product and brainstorm! 

Thank you for the kind review and we'll be sure to pass it along to the onboarding team!

Hi @ATimmons 

I'm a HubSpot Geek so this is a great place for me to hang out.

We run a HubSpot Partner Agency in Wellington New Zealand called Webalite. We help people grow their business with HubSpot – which we really enjoy.

And, we've created a new product called Portal-iQ to help people get their HubSpot Portal working smarter.

As well as meeting interesting people we've also made great business connections with clients, other partners and the amazing HubSpot team.

 I like the geeky challenges of the questions asked here - it helps me grow as a HubSpot geek.

Have fun

Mike

I originally came over to HubSpot because I loved their community engagment and recognition for their engagement. Besides the free courses that are pretty amazing, there's also such a great helpful community!

[kvlschaefer]

Welcome to the Community, @ATimmons! We're glad to have you here 🙂 

Are you referring to a specific study group or just the community in general? 

Thanks!

[ATimmons]

I’m asking in general terms really. Have you tried others and why did you decide on this one?

[kvlschaefer]

Hi @ATimmons,

That's a great question!

I would like to tag some subject matter experts in our conversation to get their thoughts.

Hi @DavidDennison, @Mike_Eastwood, @Anton, @karstenkoehler - Why did you decide to join the Community? Have you participated in other communities in the past?  Thank you!

Best,

Kristen

[Anton]

Hi @ATimmons, 

welcome on board! 🎉

I've joined the community several years ago because I started as a job as developer at a partner agency and had so many questions and didn't know where to get answers to specific questions. The academy and the documentation were on a whole other level back then so I found help here,  loved the folks and stayed. Now I love to help others getting into HubSpot and still learning.

How about you? Why did you join?

btw - you can read a bit more about my relationship to the community here

best, 

Anton

[ATimmons]

I've worked across many areas of marketing but I joined here in the hope of getting a greater and deeper understanding of content marketing. 

[ATimmons]

Love the fact that you have a variety of reasons to stay here. The best of all though that you mention the lovely people here. Thanks

Hey there HubSpot Community! 

My name is Mike DeMarco, and I'm the marketing manager at Action Title Research.  This is my first week of onboarding.  Does anyone have any tips?

Cheers,

Mike

[JenBergren]

Hi @MDeMarco ! This may be a silly question but are you onboarding to a new job, or onboarding/learning about HubSpot for the first time for an existing portal, or going through HubSpot Onboarding to set up a new HubSpot portal with the HubSpot team or a HubSpot partner? I want to help make sure you get the advice specific for your situation!

[danmoyle]

Thanks for the tag @MiaSrebrnjak 😊

Welcome to HubSpot, and the HubSpot Community, @MDeMarco! As @Jnix284 mentioned, if you have an onboarding specialist helping you, definitely work with them. 

As for other tips, I'd spend time in HubSpot Academy. The courses for Marketing Software, Sales Hub Software, and Inbound are all great. 

I'd encourage you to stay active in Community, too. Set aside a little time each week to look through current questions and their answers. It's one way I learn new things in HubSpot after 12 years around this corner of the multiverse. 

Happy HubSpotting, friend! 

[Jnix284]

Hi @MDeMarco welcome to the community! 

Specific to onboarding, I recommend keeping communication open with your onboarding specialist - make sure you're asking questions and let them know if you have any internal roadblocks to meeting the due dates.

All the best with HubSpot and the new year!
