Welcome to Episode 64 of HubShots! Full show notes are available here: http://hubshots.com/episode-64/ Welcome to HubShots, the podcast for marketing managers who use HubSpot hosted by Ian Jacob from Search and Be Found and Craig Bailey from XEN Systems. Recorded: Monday 19 December 2016 | Published: Friday 23 December 2016 Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Year Thinking back on 2016 and some of the key inbound learnings: Craig’s biggest a-ha moment: Kipp Bodnar’s approach to: “solve for the problem” http://hubshots.com/episode-40/ It has fundamentally changed our approach to everything – in business and in personal activities as well Ian’s biggest a-ha moment: I have to say that “solve for the problem” has been it. But to give you something different I would say “be informed, read up and deep dive into topics” as that is how you learn and become a practitioner. Shot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Year Craig’s favourite new items in 2016: Lead Flows – quickest wins we’ve had lately Ian’s favourite new feature in 2016: HubSpot Projects Shot 3: Pro Tip (Reminder) of the Week Analysing content in HubSpot: - Check your Page Performance report (Under Reports menu) - Check the SEO optimisation of each page (start with your top 10 most popular pages) - Update the content for latest findings and accuracy - Update internal links to increase relevance and freshness - Update ‘Last Updated’ date - Add a tailored Lead Flow slide-in onto the page - Check the CTA results for the page and if needed create a variation to test the - - CTA against to increase click through and conversion Shot 4: Opinion(s) of the Week A look at: What has changed in 2016 What won’t change in 2017 How to combine the two – with examples Thinking about Artificial Intelligence Planning for the new year should include some analysis of what is new, but also what isn’t changing. What has changed in 2016 First, a look at 2016 in terms of marketing and what is changing: https://contently.com/strategist/2016/12/16/biggest-marketing-storylines-2016/ - Digital advertising overtook TV advertising for the first time. - Facebook dominates attention and marketing dollars - VR and AR take off (eg Pokemon Go) - AI starts changing from science fiction to reality - Enterprises are all changing to be media companies as part of the offering - Martech gets huge – Microsoft purchased LinkedIn - Privacy, fake news, data collection, Native advertising guidelines What ISN’T going to change in 2017 Thinking about what ISN’T going to change in the next few years. Recall Jeff Bezos’ advice: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/966699-i-very-frequently-get-the-question-what-s-going-to-change What things will remain constant for your customers?: Prospects and customers want help and value and answers and solutions - They want quick response (consider whether you should invest in chat tools and the costs of having them managed) - They want trusted advisors, they want to feel safe - They want to feel like individuals, so focus on anything that will help to personalise their experience and make them feel special - They want a good user experience Artificial Intelligence Paul Roetzer discusses AI in marketing: http://content.inbound.com/content/origins-of-the-marketing-intelligence-engine https://www.narrativescience.com/quill-engage https://www.quillengage.com/ IBM Watson is driving AI based products: https://www.ibm.com/watson/ Eg their Customer Support tool is an example of where the industry is heading: https://www.ibm.com/marketplace/cloud/cognitive-customer-engagement/au/en-au#product-header-top Shot 5: HubShots Resource of the Year Interviews with 7 Marketing Experts from HubSpot Sydney http://hubshots.com/the-hubspot-interviews We will be updating this in 2017 with more information!

Welcome to Episode 62 of HubShots! Full show notes available at: http://hubshots.com/episode-62/ Welcome to HubShots, the podcast for marketing managers who use HubSpot hosted by Ian Jacob from Search and Be Found and Craig Bailey from XEN Systems. Recorded: Monday 05 December 2016 | Published: Thursday 08 December 2016 Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week Keynote: Charles Duhiggcharles duhigg 9627 Some highlights: People Think differently Most productive people think more deeply Some learnings from Qantas flight 32 check the story. QF32 By Richard De Crespigny People tell them stories on what to expect. Cognitive tunnel. Can we pivot so we put ourselves back in charge. He constantly challenges mental models. Craig’s notes re Charles’s presentation (view the comments): Looking forward to Charles’s Duhigg’s presentation being made available on the Inbound site. BTW the Alec Baldwin keynote is now available: http://content.inbound.com/content/alec-baldwin-keynote Also: Rosalia Cefalu’s session is now available: http://content.inbound.com/content/youre-starting-a-sales-enablement-team-now-what Shot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Week More on Lead Flows Aiming for extreme targeting Name your Lead Flows based on the offer they have, and then add to a few pages. Each time you post a new blog post add the blog post URL to the appropriate Lead Flow. Simplicity is the key: test lots of different Lead Flows. Note that they are simple eg can’t A/B test them or even report on them eg can’t do breakdowns based on device or anything like that Keep testing: eg on one site we’ve had more than 30 Lead Flow submits in the last week (ie almost as many as the normal leads collected) whilst on another site they’ve had very little response. Which indicates that the way the offer is expressed needs further testing. Keep testing your Lead Flows to improve conversion rates. Gotcha: can’t have LeadIn plugin and the WordPress plugin both active on a site or else the Lead Flows won’t work. Shot 3: Challenge of the Week How to stop people you work with making on the fly irrational decisions. How do you solve it? Have a brief when doing work. This way you can tie it back to the brief in a logical way. Complete your personas Do a content audit and tie it to a content plan Shot 4: Stat of the Week From think with Google – A Marketer’s Guide to Holiday Supershoppers Tip: Check your Apple Maps listing > https://mapsconnect.apple.com/. You will need an apple id. Shot 5: Opinion(s) of the Week https://mention.com/blog/inbound-2016-marketing-experts/ Super useful post, tons of good insights, a range of formats. Has been shared a lot. Aside: Has zero comments. Opinion: We’re taking comments off some sites, and also removing social sharing in some cases. If they aren’t social proof they can sometimes be social disproofs. Shot 6: Pro Tip of the Week Perform an end of year content audit. https://blog.hubspot.com/customers/long-term-content-marketing Goal: with the content audit it will help you identify all of the marketing assets that you have at your disposal and potentially identify gaps or opportunities in your content strategy. ― Charles Duhigg, Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business
Welcome to Episode 61 of HubShots! Full show notes available here: http://hubshots.com/episode-61/ Welcome to HubShots, the podcast for marketing managers who use HubSpot hosted by Ian Jacob from Search and Be Found and Craig Bailey from XEN Systems. Recorded: Monday 28 November 2016 | Published: Thursday 01 December 2016 Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week 1: Highlights from Brian Halligan: http://content.inbound.com/content/brian-halligan-and-dharmesh-shah-keynote Is cold calling really dead? Or is it just called something else these days…? 2: A look at Gary Vee’s trip to #Inbound16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdGgBp4hoTk Notice how he engages with people before the keynote – he’s very involved. 3: ecommerce interviews coming up BTW stay tuned for our upcoming interviews with HubSpot marketers: all about ecommerce – look out for them over the Holiday period! Shot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Week Tip 1: Lead Flows HubSpot Marketing Free: http://www.hubspot.com/products/marketing/free Lead Flows: http://www.hubspot.com/product-updates/introducing-lead-flows-for-hubspot-marketing Gotcha: if you have LeadIn installed as well as HubSpot then the Lead Flows won’t show. So disable LeadIn on your WordPress site if you already have HubSpot installed. Good to test with sites. Simple to setup and target, and easy to add to smart lists. In smart lists, include Form Submits from forms that have Lead Flow names. Contacts who fill out Lead Flows can be enrolled in Workflows, just like any other form submit. Interesting that Lead Flows are under the Content menu, and not under Contacts – I thought they’d be more like Forms (which is under Contacts).

Brian and Dharmesh not announcing new stuff – leaving that to Christopher O’Donnell Less than 50% of attendees at Inbound are HubSpot customers. So it makes sense that the keynote is more about industry trends than it is about product. As Karl say: Inbound Platform versus Inbound movement Shot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Week Merge companies in HubSpot CRM: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/companies/what-happens-when-i-merge-two-companies Another sign that HubSpot is pushing into the more sophisticated space when it comes to CRM. Note: You will not have the option to merge company records if your account is integrated with Salesforce. Shot 3: Challenge of the Week Looking for the next window of opportunity… Example: Facebook has been so good for B2B in the last 12 months, but it is becoming much more competitive now as companies wake up and jump on. Which in turn means that the results are dropping. So how do find the next window of opportunity? By channel: eg Instagram, Medium By format: eg cinemagraphs, podcasts, video By intent: eg removing gates, pushing higher value assets earlier, lead forms Key point: if there’s something amazing you could do now, do it now – especially if your competitors aren’t yet doing it Marketing managers are starting to have difficult discussions with their bosses about results – the costs of gaining leads are increasing – as a marketing manager how do you handle this? Shot 4: Stat of the Week 700,000 domains have published AMP pages, more than 600M AMP pages published: https://amphtml.wordpress.com/2016/10/07/amp-a-year-in-review/amp/ People discussing Google’s AMP pages: https://www.alexkras.com/google-may-be-stealing-your-mobile-traffic/#comment-55336 We first discussed AMP pages back in December in Episode 11: http://hubshots.com/episode-11/ https://www.ampproject.org/ Shot 5: Opinion of the Week https://www.zoho.com/projects/blog/basecamps-work-can-wait-pledge-why-were-not-recommending-it.html Shot 6: Pro Tip of the Week In Google Analytics we often see a big interest in the About pages of sites – so it’s worth putting some time, thought and effort into optimising them – here’s 12 tips from Lauren Holliday: https://medium.com/@laurenholliday_/12-sections-to-consider-including-on-your-about-page-the-most-important-page-on-your-website-7ab5c29a82a0#.2hjn3ih12 https://www.blog.google/products/g-suite/five-new-ways-reach-your-goals-faster-g-suite/ Ian check this out Shot 7: State of Inbound Item of the Week http://www.stateofinbound.com/ What do people look for in a job: job criteria Opportunities for growth is the biggest factor across both sales and marketing respondents.

From what we see the majority of the heavy lifting is done by staff, but executives, freelancers and even guest posters help fill the blog queue. The participation rates across the board are higher in 2016, pointing to continued investment in creating blog content. In terms of time taken to write a 500 word blog post in ANZ is looks on par with North America. Average blog post length is under a 1000 words with a high percentage being 500 words or less.

In fact, since editing is slow, it’s punished. As a result, we all spend too much time reading rough drafts rather than deeply considered writing. People don’t take time to THINK about or DEBATE ideas before they publish them. They don’t challenge their own thinking, or ask others to do so. We’re all encouraged to spout off and ship it. There is so much pressure on the velocity and quantity of content creation online; it would be better if more of us could slow down and think deeply about the valuable ideas we want to share. “ Thought Leadership Reasons to attend Inbound: Inbound tips: Get there early for the opening night keynote, seats go fast Go to the food court for meals, avoid the food trucks Aim for centre aisle seats Join the HubShots WhatsApp group for details on where to meet with others Shot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Week New dashboard being forced on everyone this week – I’ll miss the old dashboard.

Shot 3: Challenge of the Week Networking events versus preparing meaningful, targeted content. Attending an event can easily chew up 3-4 hours or time. Could this time be used more effectively preparing content? Effective = doing the right thing Efficient = doing it the right way Shot 4: Stat of the Week 27% of Australians prefer to buy their Christmas presents online, rather than in store. 84% start online1 1 McCrindle Research 2015; GCS 2014).

Welcome to Episode 51 of HubShots! Recorded: Monday 19 September 2016 | Published: Thursday 22 September 2016 Full show notes available here: http://hubshots.com/episode-51/ Welcome Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week Inboundcountdown.com - 50 days until Inbound Another spotlight speaker announced - Angela Duckworth http://www.inbound.com/speakers/angela-duckworth Author of Grit - http://www.bookdepository.com/Grit-Angel-Duckworth/9781785040191 Craig is reading this at the moment - and she would have been one of his predictions! HubShots meetup plan - we’ll use WhatsApp to tell you where we are, so you never have to feel isolated. Varun mentioned that there 60-70 Australian HubSpotters attending. Shot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Week Something new: http://www.hubspot.com/2016-product-refresh Something old: Using Settings in Workflows: Suppressions and Priorities: hubspot workflow suppressions This isn’t new - it’s been there for ages - but a good reminder to use these features. Shot 3: Opinion of the Week When people say they want a new website, actually they are saying they want a new web strategy If you are planning a new web site and you only focus on look and feel you’ve missed a key part. Takeaway: ask the ‘5 Why?s’ : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_Whys Shot 4: Challenge of the Week Even though a business has made sales does not mean everything on a website is geared to drive sales. So we are working on a website that sells a product on a recurring payment. What we analysed and went to optimise the content on the site we discovered that there were many points of friction. No one thought about the buyer’s journey. Offers at each stage of the journey were not clear. The path to conversion was unclear. Takeaway - don’t believe everything someone tells you, go look for yourself and evaluate the buyer’s journey and the content. Shot 5: Pro Tip of the Week LinkedIn conversion tracking is now available - finally: https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/conversion-tracking Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week The new State of Inbound report is now available: http://www.stateofinbound.com/ P29 Sales challenges: Getting a response is now the biggest difficulty: p29 sales difficulty Key takeaway: get creative about getting cut-through. Quality over quantity. Notice: Customer references is a big influence: p107 sources of purchase information Key takeaway: use case studies in your consideration and decision mode strategies.

Shot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Week Using the HubSpot Lead Scoring Academy Project: http://academy.hubspot.com/projects/customer-projects-lead-scoring This is another one of the HubSpot tools that is under utilised. You can start with some simple engagement behaviours, and also demote certain contact attributes eg free email accounts: And also use some custom properties that others in the team have marked eg: Determine point values PRO TIP: For the best results, you'll want to stick to a 0-100 point scale and weight the points in relation to how ready that lead would be to talk to a sales rep. Shot 3: Opinion of the Week Should we value leads who use free email addresses? Yes, in the majority of cases we should still value free lead addresses but then use the implicit behavioural data to further qualify/disqualify. It can depend on industry as well eg if you are marketing to Tradespeople, then them having a @bigpond.com.au address is often normal. Shot 4: Challenge of the Week If you are all online what are you doing in an offline channel to assist people in making a choice? Eg. Real estate agent who dropped a card saying they got the best price for a property in your area. Shot 5: Pro Tip of the Week Using Google Analytics to find your hidden sources of quality leads Example: global brand running 2 campaigns at the moment: TOFU campaign driving ebook signups - cost is https://academy.hubspot.com/projects/customer-projects-blog-optimization Shot 7: Resource of the Week http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/08/linkedin-profile-tips/ For next week: http://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2016/07/20/facebook-newsfeed-algorithm Shot 8: Community Item of the Week Interesting stats re content marketing’s success: http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/08/content-marketing-stats/ 200 million people now use ad blockers The median time people spend on articles is 37 seconds Shot 9: Podcast of the Week George B Thomas interviews Kim Darling from HubSpot’s Inbound team: https://www.thesaleslion.com/hubcast-107-inboud16-interview-kim-darling/ Shot 10: App of the Week Google Analytics What do we like in it?

Craig’s comment: seems a bit underwhelming at this early stage, will be interesting to see how it develops from here. Like how it will paste from Google Docs and clean up the formatting. Shot 3: Challenge of the Week Prepare more PowerPoint presentations PowerPoint all the things! Shot 4: Opinion of the Week Big agency work is going to be under fire from smaller agencies. For all of their ‘research’ they often miss big players in the market if they don’t understand the industry well. Understanding your customer’s industries is vital and can’t be substituted with general research. If you have an intimate knowledge of your business and industry this gives you a distinct advantage over other companies that enter the market and rely on outside research. Shot 5: Pro Tip of the Week Larry Kim had an awesome Facebook Likes post a few weeks back: https://medium.com/marketing-and-entrepreneurship/one-weird-trick-to-get-more-facebook-likes-for-free-68ae523542fd Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week Setting up your first Inbound campaign in HubSpot – Part 2 Last week we mentioned the Projects available in the Productivity menu Over the next few weeks we’re going to discuss the Content Offer Campaign: pasted image 0 Last week: Content creation => content offer => persona => buyer’s journey stage This week: Content campaign Next week: Content promotion hubshots content offer project Very important: Define campaign details: Set attainable visit, lead, and customer goals.

Cost of Nurture Consider 10K contacts: MailChimp: $75 = 0.75c per contact per month or 9c per year – http://mailchimp.com/pricing/growing-business/ Active Campaign: $350 = 3.5c per contact per month or 42c per year – http://www.activecampaign.com/pricing/ HubSpot: $1050 + $68 x 9 = $1662 = 16.6c per contact per month or $2 per year – http://www.hubspot.com/pricing/marketing#?currency=AUD (should actually use USD pricing as this would be comparable with the other two examples) Compare this with the cost of acquisition Often B2B companies are happy if they can get a lead for less than $100 per lead On Facebook we’ll often get leads for less $20, and this is considered an excellent result. So: B2B businesses are usually happy to pay $20+ per lead, but will baulk at paying $2 per lead to nurture them for a year… Solve for the problem: Cost of retention is NOT the problem! Instead: Focus on reducing cost of acquisition OR improving conversion rate OR increasing lead quality OR… Shot 5: General Tip of the Week Facebook Time on site Custom Web Audiences: http://www.jonloomer.com/2016/07/28/time-on-website-custom-audience-facebook/ I don’t have it yet ?

Consider less intrusive options: Exit intent Side reveal – less intrusive Solve for the problem. Is lead gen growth really your problem? e.g. is an engaged audience more valuable to you. Love how Marco Arment approaches everything to do with app design and usability e.g. it never pops up with annoying requests to ask you to rate the app (see the Feedback section below): Shot 4: General Tip of the Week HubSpot – Drift – Slack integration http://www.hubspot.com/integrations/drift btw love the menu on the Drift site that changes as you scroll down the page – since it signals your intent https://www.drift.com/ Shot 5: State of Inbound Item of the Week The Effectiveness of Advertising in Asia Pacific: https://research.hubspot.com/reports/effectiveness-of-advertising-in-asia-pacific Popup and telemarketing has an extremely negative experience on people! Shot 6: HubSpot Resource of the Week Easily Add an Image Gallery to Your Landing Pages or Website When you’re working on creating content, figuring out how to insert a gallery of images should not be the most time-consuming part of your day. Today we’re happy to introduce a brand-new module available in all HubSpot accounts, the Image Gallery. The new image gallery has a number of enhancements, but one of the most notable is that it features progressive loading. When adding multiple images to your gallery, don’t want them to load all at once for visitors. It’s bad for their load times, and does not provide a great experience unless they are on a really fast internet connection. The new module will load the first image and progressively load other images based on the visitor clicking through each.

Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week New product wish list item… Instagram integration into social. Possibly difficult due to Instagram’s API limitations though… Shot 2: HubSpot feature/tip of the Week Dealing with constant spammers: 1. Block domains in a form 2. Setup a smart list of email domains to delete Blocking domains: Block free email addresses http://www.hubspot.com/list-of-free-email-providers Create a smart list of email address domains to mark as spam: Use a smart list to segment spammers You can also add a smart list of competitors, to ensure they never receive your download emails. Shot 3: Challenge of the Week How to Focus on the right mediums? How would you choose? You need to test it. Make sure you are at least doing email marketing. Email marketing has an ROI of 4,300%! Then use industry studies to guide you in choosing other channels. This is especially useful when considering channels such as snapchat that are hard to measure from an ROI point of view. http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2016_B2B_Report_Final.pdf B2B Social Media Platform Usage B2B Social Media Platform Effectiveness Also check out state of internet report from Mark Meeker – take a look at how some channels are taking off: Mary Meeker Slide 90 Don’t ignore messaging and chat integration.

Welcome to Episode 34 of HubShots! Recorded: Monday 16 May 2016 Full show notes are available here: http://hubshots.com/episode-34/ Welcome In this episode we ‘crack on’ even though Ian is fighting a cold :-) Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week Apologies for the ‘ding’! Training - we did the Agency Positioning and Targeting workshop and the content and structure was great and the relationships we made in that period has still stuck today. So consider doing some training and growing your knowledge of Inbound and HubSpot. https://www.inbound.com/inbound16/trainings I got to meet David Weinhaus! Also if you are doing INBOUND alone we would love to meet you….. inboundcountdown.com - check how long to go! Shot 2: HubSpot feature/tip of the Week Automate Lead Rotation, Task and Deal Creation in Workflows With three new updates to HubSpot — lead rotation, task creation, and deal creation — you'll spend more time selling and less on busywork. Lead Rotation How it works: Find your way into Workflows by clicking Contacts > Workflows in HubSpot Marketing. Edit one of your workflows using the pencil icon on the right, or create a brand new one for rotating leads with "Create New Workflow." Once inside your workflow, add a new action, and you’ll see a brand new option under the “Sales” section: “Rotate Leads.” The rotator works in a "round-robin" style — add any number of owners to the rotation, and they'll be assigned the leads evenly. Deal and Task Creation Here’s how sales reps often divided their days: for every two hours spent selling, an hour of CRM administration — creating contacts and companies, logging tasks to follow up on, creating opportunities. Newsflash: if you can cut down that hour of admin work, you'll sell more. How it works: Follow the steps outlined above to navigate into a workflow. When selecting a workflow action, you'll now have the options to “Create a Task” and “Create a Deal.” Shot 3: Test of the Week Sending unbranded email. We saw HubSpot do this with a partner email. Even in our own testing we noticed an average open rate of 15% when it was branded and that moved to almost 30% when it was unbranded and looked like it came from us personally! Shot 4: Opinion of the Week Un-gate all the things! Or don’t: http://www.craigbailey.net/whole-un-gate-things-trend-going-moment/ Shot 5: General Tip of the Week Useful tips for approaching your personas by Marcia Riefer Johnston: http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/05/buyer-personas-essential-parts/ From Tip #1: “Don’t describe the persona to the reader. Have the persona talk to the reader in first-person.” For an in-depth look at buyer personas check out Adele Revella’s book: http://www.amazon.com/Buyer-Personas-Customers-Expectations-Strategies/dp/1118961501 http://www.buyerpersona.com/about-adele-revella She goes through 5 main steps for thinking through a buyer persona #2 is to think about Success factors and the results they expect Also have a listen to Moby’s episode 11 of Inbound Buzz where he goes through how to create personas: https://soundcloud.com/inboundbuzz/011-how-to-create-personas-for-inbound-marketing-success Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week Take 15 minutes to do the State of Inbound Report: http://www.stateofinbound.com/ Direct link to the survey: https://soi2016.questionpro.com/ Shot 7: Community Item of the Week Nice episode by Moby outlining some cool content creation tools: https://soundcloud.com/inboundbuzz/ep09-ultimate-content-creation-tools-used-by-agencies-and-pros Shot 8: Podcast of the Week Content Inc by Joe Pulizzi: http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/content-inc-podcast/ Simple, insightful gems of marketing wisdom, less than 5 minutes.

Welcome to Episode 33 or HubShots Recorded: Monday 09 May 2016 For show notes please visit: http://hubshots.com/episode-33/ Welcome Feedback from Ian’s Google Partner event: – Businesses are realising that sales and marketing really do need to co-exist and be on the same page. – Everyone loved the Google Cardboard and experiencing some virtual reality. Inboundcountdown.com – Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week The value of Thank You pages, and the importance of thinking through the goal of thank you pages: – Have another offer (while they are waiting) – Give them confidence their request has been recorded, include a timeframe for when they will receive an email or reply Shot 2: HubSpot feature/tip of the Week New Paid Social channel in the Sources report: HubSpot Paid Social Report Source If utm_medium=”paid” and utm_source = the name of a social network OR utm_medium=”paid” and referring domain is a social media site OR utm_source OR utm_medium =”paidsocial” They don’t support utm_medium=”cpc” or “ppc” which is a little strange – Craig is raising that with HubSpot. Eg here’s a typical parameter string we use with Facebook advertising: utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=feed&utm_campaign=your-campaign-name this will now have to change to: utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=paidsocial&utm_content=feed&utm_campaign=your-campaign-name Here’s an example of how it looks in Facebook Power Editor when editing an ad: Facebook URL parameters Shot 3: Challenge of the Week Finding people to help with specific tasks – outsourcing can be daunting! Tips for Outsourcing It’s not just overseas, there’s also lots of local freelancing options available. Finding freelancers: https://www.upwork.com/ http://jobs.problogger.net/ http://freelancer.com/ https://www.onlinejobs.ph/ http://www.virtualstafffinder.com/ – Chris Ducker – VirtualStaffFinder – included contract stuff, did the testing of applicants Key skills they can help with – Research – Graphic design – Data migration – Content population – Writing blog posts, articles and ebooks – Social media management – Outreach research Tips for managing freelancers – Be very specific about their tasks, define the processes and results required – Check in regularly (communication is very important) – Make sure they know they can contact you easily eg Skype, Slack, IM – Give them a test task as a first project, so you can gauge strengths and weaknesses, don’t expect perfection at first – Give regular feedback and bonuses – Have a daily report they can complete so you can track progress…I use a Google Form – If they work for you fulltime, know their birthday, special holidays etc. – Visit them! Shot 4: Opinion of the Week Be careful of setting up shop on rented land eg putting all your effort into Facebook. Ian share’s insights from a conversation with a legal marketing person. Also be careful to use medium.com as a channel, not your full site blog host Shot 5: General Tip of the Week Check your site speed. Use Google https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ or http://website.grader.com/ If you want help optimising your site and hosting talk to us. Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week Take 15 minutes to do the State of Inbound Report: http://www.stateofinbound.com/ Direct link to the survey: https://soi2016.questionpro.com/ Shot 7: App of the Week Scannable – https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/evernote-scannable/id883338188?mt=8 No need for a big clunky scanner these days – instead just use your phone.

Welcome to Episode 32 of HubShots Recorded: Monday 02 May 2016 For full show notes please visit: http://hubshots.com/episode-32/ Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week Keynote speaker: Kim Scott Radical Candour : http://www.radicalcandor.com/ http://www.kimmalonescott.com/#!blog/cmq7 example: http://www.kimmalonescott.com/#!How-to-be-radically-candid-about-BO/c1z2c/56bf29a60cf2132b0297bd32 http://firstround.com/review/radical-candor-the-surprising-secret-to-being-a-good-boss/ Radical candor, then, results from a combination of caring personally and challenging directly. But what does it look like in practice? Scott has created an acronym to help people remember: HHIPP: “Radical candor is humble, it’s helpful, it’s immediate, it’s in person — in private if it’s criticism and in public if it’s praise — and it doesn’t personalize.” That last P makes a key distinction: “My boss didn’t say, ‘You’re stupid.’ She said, ‘You sounded stupid when you said um.’ There’s a big difference between the two.” Inbound Prediction: HubSpot will launch an MVP program Similar to how Microsoft has a fantastic MVP program. Shot 2: HubSpot feature/tip of the Week Smart List Performance tab: HubSpot List Performance tab Action item: use these graphs to highlight areas to improve or remove. For example, I’ve cut back on showing CTAs to anyone outside Australia. Shot 3: Challenge of the Week Communicating with customers when things go wrong. Chatting with @mobysiddique about this – he alerted me to the issue initially, because he is having the issue with his InboundBuzz podcast feed Example of what not to do: Soundcloud – http://status.soundcloud.com/post/143647524960/rss-feed-maintenance Example of what to do: HubSpot (discussed in ep 9 – http://hubshots.com/episode-9/ – http://web.archive.org/web/20160304065446/http://trust.hubspot.com/?p=1688), WPEngine Shot 4: Opinion of the Week The 200 billion dollar chatbot disruption: http://venturebeat.com/2016/05/01/the-200-billion-dollar-chatbot-disruption/ To highlight the key differences, let’s itemize the various gaps in the two approaches: Chatbots offer a standardized way of connecting with businesses (similar to Twitter handles or email addresses), reducing the complexity of finding the contact info for a company. By integrating with Facebook identity, chatbots allow for automatic verification of personal information (no more cumbersome account lookups or credit card entries). Takeaway: How do you get prepared as a business for this? Is the first thing to have a knowledge base where customers go to help themselves? VR – Google Cardboard Shot 5: General Tip of the Week Advanced User Permissions for HubSpot CRM For HubSpot CRM users, navigate to Settings > Users. Add a new user or edit an existing one, and you’ll see a new set of options under the “Sales” user roles: For each user, admins will be able to choose the following permissions: CRM Features (Companies, Deals, Tasks): Enabled/Disabled View: Everything, owned + unassigned, owned only Edit: Everything, owned + unassigned, owned only Bulk Delete: Enabled/Disabled Import: Enabled/Disabled Export: Enabled/Disabled Edit Settings: Enabled/Disabled HubSpot CRM User Roles These permissions can be mixed and matched on a per-user basis to make the configuration that works best for a specific team. Users can also separate view and edit permissions. For example, a manager might let his or her reps see everything, but only edit the records they own. Shot 6: Win of the Week Google Partners Connect Event Make sure you follow us on Twitter @HubShots to get any real time specials or resources e.g. the AppSumo deal sold out.

And a suggestion around whether ghostwriters should get a mention (eg in a byline or bio section) Shot 5: General Tip of the Week Do we really understand inbound? The benefit of the HubSpot training and certification Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week When buyers want to meet with sales The good news for sales is that the majority of business buyers want to meet with sales during the consideration phase — after they’ve done some research and know they need more information to make a sound decision. After finding out what the buyer knows, a well prepared sales representative can elaborate on their product and share advice they are best equipped to provide. This advice should be new to the buyer and educate them further on the product or service. HubSpot research - when buyers want to connect with sales Action item: Think about where you are engaging buyers in your business. May be you need to talk to them in your consideration stage!

Action item: Get Feedback about what is *really* working (use data and subject matter expertise, not ignorance) Shot 4: General Tip of the Week Using Facebook page promotion – going old school ? Just because something stopped working a while back, doesn’t mean it hasn’t changed since them. Action item: Retest old tactics again to see if they’ve changed in their effectiveness Shot 5: State of Inbound Item of the Week Feedback about what Buyers want from Sales: https://research.hubspot.com/reports/buyers-speak-out-how-sales-needs-to-evolve 3 Key Takeaways: 1: demos are part of the awareness stage Interesting behaviour trend: “Our data shows that a third of buyers want the opportunity to see a product in action very early on. They want a very tangible understanding of what they’re potentially buying, and they want it right away.” How you can respond: “Most teams can’t spare valuable sales time on a early product demo before a buyer is properly vetted. A pre-recorded video demo that is clearly visible on a vendor’s website can satisfy the buyer’s content needs and has the potential to be an useful prospecting and qualifying tool for companies that have products that require demonstrations.” 2: what buyers want versus what sales want to discuss on the first sales call The Sales Disconnect Action item: use this feedback about the sales disconnect to help change your approach to sales calls 3: Customer service generate the most trust, marketing content is next, ahead of sales, PR and advertising Customer Service are more trusted This is really useful feedback!

Traditional strategy and creative strategy thinking isn’t yet equipped to do that. I found myself bemused by why it would take 6 months to come up with a fairly original and vague idea.

While CEB states that almost two-thirds of the buying decision is already made before a prospect ever makes contact with a sales team, prospects do not stop their research at that moment. Client acquisition used to be a relay race. Marketing captured the lead and then nurtured the lead part of the way. Then, Sales ran the rest of the race by themselves. The two did not need to communicate to win, they just needed to hand off the baton properly. But today, it’s a three-legged race with Sales and Marketing’s legs tied together. In the three-legged race, the prospect receives stimuli from both Marketing and Sales throughout the buying process. In order to win, a firm must have two partners with clear shared goals, a defined process, and open continuous communication.” – Chris Handy, Founder & CEO, Thinkhandy: http://www.thinkhandy.com/ Action: think about how you can make your process better… Shot 5: General Tip of the Week Instagram tips: http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/instagram-features-tricks Action: Look and see if you can make changes that help your Instagram Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week New HubSpot Research Hub: http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/hubspot-research-hub http://research.hubspot.com/ http://research.hubspot.com/reports/native-advertising-rises-as-consumers-opt-out Why people unsubscribe from emails: Why people unsubscribe from emails Action: Review the emails you are sending out.

My thoughts are using forms would be better for SEO for pages like contact pages and ofcourse using HubSpots landing.DOMAIN pages for PPC and campaigns. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using forms vs landing pages in my scenario?” Excellent question Moby – our responses start at the 07:13 See also, tip for embedding HubSpot forms in web sites: http://xen.com.au/hubspot-forms-rendering-issue-in-elcomcms/ Shot 4: Opinion of the Week Search engine ranking factors: http://backlinko.com/search-engine-ranking Analysed 1 million search results. Links are of course very important, but factors 3 and 4 are especially relevant: 3. We discovered that content rated as “topically relevant” (via MarketMuse),significantly outperformed content that didn’t cover a topic in-depth. Therefore, publishing focused content that covers a single topic may help with rankings. 4.

Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week Something different to what Craig would normally read or learn about (as per Ian’s challenge last week to view something we wouldn’t normally do): http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/business-dinner-etiquette-guide “If you’re the first person to eat bread from the basket, the etiquette is to offer the bread basket to the person on your left and then begin passing the bowl around the table to the right.” Action: remember this! Shot 7: Motivation of the Week My Blinkist item: Highlighted in The Business Romantic : Give Everything, Quantify Nothing and Create Something Greater Than Yourself Case in point: The author invited 15 people for a dinner called the “15 Toasts” during the World Economic Forum. His guests were leaders in the private sector, government and civil society, and they were all total strangers to each other. Not for long, though. The author asked each guest to offer a toast that answered the question: What is a good life? The toasts began slowly but the guests soon rose to the occasion. Rather than forcing 15 strangers to discuss prearranged topics, this dinner gave them the opportunity to engage as human beings. One guest remarked that it was the first dinner he’d been to where he didn’t know anyone, yet left feeling genuinely connected with every single guest.

Welcome to HubShots Episode 14 Recorded: Monday 04 January 2016 For show notes please visit: http://hubshots.com/episode-14 Welcome Happy New Year Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week 44 weeks to go until Inbound 2016 :-) 8-11 November 2016: http://www.inbound.com/ Facebook Marketing with Mari Smith ( @marismith ): http://www.inbound.com/blog/mari-smith-ideas-and-experiences 3 critical trends: 1. Disrupting TV and video. Native video has the best reach. 2. Huge emphasis on messenger for business. 3. Brand story telling. People centric. Action item: use FB for your business if the people you sell and do business with are on that channel Shot 1a: Self-promotion Item of the Week ? Our event for Marketing Managers is coming soon (TBC: 23 Feb 2016) Shot 2: HubSpot Tip of the Week Personalising the email send name and email address in HubSpot Note: the HubSpot KB is incomplete: http://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/email/how-do-i-personalize-the-from-name-and-address-in-an-email You don’t really need to add the extra fields if you have the Hubspot Owner set up properly. Instead: set the From name and Email address to be: {{contact.hubspot_owner_id}} HubSpot email personalisation It will automatically insert the name or email address depending on what field it is placed in. In the subject line it uses the name You may need to add it as an option using the Add/Manager first – and you can set a fallback there as well Action item: Make it personal and make sure you have the Hubspot Owner set Shot 3: Challenge of the Week Can’t measure form submits by device type Not even in the Reporting Add-on Only workaround is to use smart content to display a different form based on device type.

Shot 4: Opinion of the Week Craig has a mini-grumble: Why are webinar recordings so bad?

Shot 1: Inbound Thought of the Week focusing on results instead of activity Management often focuses on activity instead of results: http://www.itsma.com/findings-from-the-2013-joint-forrester-itsma-and-visionedge-marketing-survey/ "Just nine percent of CEOs and six percent of CFOs leverage marketing data in this manner. The reason? Marketing dashboards report marketing activity rather than business outcomes, as marketers cling to performance metrics to continuously justify budgets and resource allocations—when instead they should show how marketing moves the needle on topline growth or profitability." Shot 2: HubSpot Tips of the Week Page Performance tool is back under Reports (and the Landing page links have gone from 2 to 1) Campaigns screen -> Notify Teammates Shot 3: Challenge of the Week A discussion around 'activity' versus 'results' Solution: conversation about quality of leads, how to increase conversion Further reading: http://xen.com.au/analytics-and-the-reporting-life-cycle/ Action item: move the discussion from keywords > conversions > $ Shot 4: General Tip of the week How to turn on SSL on your HubSpot website If you would like to avail of the SSL functionality, you must request it via this form: http://www.hubspot.com/request-ssl Adding SSL does require DNS changes for your website in addition to other technical set-up actions.

Welcome to Episode 6 of HubShots! Recorded: Tuesday 10 November 2015 Spectre opens this week – Craig is excited. Emojis versus Emoticons (I got the terms confused last week!)

Shot 2: HubSpot feature/tip of the Week Where is the HubSpot Content Calendar? -> How do you usually get to it? Ahhhhh, so that’s what that calendar icon is for :-) Shot 3: Challenge of the week We are challenge-less this week. Let us know your challenges. Shot 4: Opinion of the Week Tech Industry trends: http://www.businessinsider.com.au/michael-wolf-predicts-what-will-happen-in-the-tech-industry-in-2016-2015-10 A useful read for marketing managers about the trends in the tech e.g. how much attention is captured by messaging Craig’s favourite slides: 9, 54, 129, 130, 132 Instant messaging is more popular than social media in the APAC: According to a recent eConsultancy roundup post, messaging has surpassed social media in popularity in the Asia-Pacific. APAC mobile-first markets showed particularly high daily usage of instant messaging. China (69%) and Malaysia (77%) stand in stark contrast to the UK (39%) and the US (35%). If your brand is active in the APAC, finding ways to integrate your social channels with messaging apps will become more and more vital in the coming year. http://simplymeasured.com/blog/top-10-social-stats-this-week Wee chat example Shot 5: General Tip of the week Thinking time outside of your space… Take time out and go help someone who does something totally different Shot 6: State of Inbound Item of the Week p22 the increasing use of freelancers and outsourcing Marketing content creation no longer limited to in-house writers From the report: “According to the tenets of inbound marketing, marketers should createcompellingcontent that re ects their company’s voice and brand while helping the consumers of this content turn into website visitors, leads, and customers. However, the people capturing that unique voice and providing that value don’t always need tobe your own employees. This year’s data showed an increase in the number of respondents who indicated they use freelancers and agency partners for content creation.” Content outsourcing trends Ian – yokohama example Sales p65-67 Sales challenges: #1 is manual data entry From the report: “While executives identify manager non-adoption as the most pressing hurdle, managers themselves report lack of integration with other tools, with manual dataentry close behind. At the lowest level, the number one issue for salespeople was manual data entry. Considering that reps are primarily responsible for data entry, this is not surprising. However, manual data entry was also the most pressing challenge at the VP/ director level, which might raise some eyebrows. Keeping in mind the high ranking of manual data entry at three out of four levels within the sales organization, sales teams would be wise to either adopt a CRM with more streamlined and automatic data entry, or simplify the data input process in their existing system.” Shot 7: Motivation of the Week HubSpot results? : http://ir.hubspot.com/investors/news-and-events/press-release-details/2015/HubSpot-Reports-Strong-Q3-2015-Results/default.aspx Grew total customers to 16,854 at September 30, 2015, up 35% from September 30, 2014.
