HubSpotter's Guide to Cleaning Up a Messy HubSpot Portal
Level: Intermediate
HubSpot is one of the most powerful marketing, sales, and service automation platforms on the market today. And, if you're the owner of your company's HubSpot portal (no matter your role), you know its potential. You also likely know that, without regular maintenance, proper organization, and structure from the outset, your HubSpot portal can quickly devolve into a mess that does more harm than good.

"Every day I log into HubSpot, I have no idea what's going on in there and I don't know how to find anything. It's making it impossible to leverage HubSpot for contact segmentation, marketing and sales automation, and database management. On top of that, it's so disorganized, I'm not sure I can trust the reporting and analytics."

If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. 

In this course you'll learn:

  • The most common reasons why chaotic, messy HubSpot portals happen to good, well-meaning HubSpotter's
  • The step-by-step process you need to follow to clean out your old, unwanted contacts and how to clean up our data
  • Long-term strategies to keep your HubSpot portal data pristine, clean, and always reliable and up-to-date

Inbounder’s Guide to Email Marketing
Level: Beginner
You might be surprised by this fact, but email marketing has been around since before the introduction of the internet. Yeah, in fact, the very first marketing email was sent in 1978 by none other than Gary “The Father of Spam” Thuerk, Marketing Manager of Digital Equipment Corp. Gary used email via Arpanet (basically the forerunner to the internet) to promote their new DEC machines to 400 recipients. The email blast resulted in $13 million in sales. And email marketing has been a critical tool in every marketer’s tool bag ever since.

But just like with any medium of marketing, there will be marketers who exploit it and abuse it. Those who care more about open rates and click-through rates than they do about the actual people receiving their emails. And when they do this, they make the rest of us look bad.

Ultimately, the purpose of this course is to teach you how to use email marketing appropriately and responsibly so that you’re only sending emails to people who want your emails, who sign up to receive them. 

This course is a great fit for beginners just getting started and intermediate marketers tired of sending emails that don’t get opened, don’t get clicked on, or get recipients to unsubscribe or mark them as spam.

Here you’ll learn the inbound approach to email marketing. We’ll cover what email marketing is, how to keep it inboundy, benefits of email marketing, how to grow your email contact database, and the different types of emails you can send to recipients (that they actually want to open).

By the end of this course, you’ll be an inbound email marketing padawan. Not quite a Jedi master (that’s for a later course), but well on your way to saving the universe from awful emails nobody ever wants to open or read.

Getting Started with B2B LinkedIn Advertising
Level: Beginner
As a B2B marketer, you know how valuable a strong brand presence is on all social media channels. You constantly engage, comment, post, share - all the things every blog or article has told you to do to make it on social.

But these platforms have a secret - they want to make money.

Okay, maybe it’s not a secret. But it’s true. And because they’ve spent billions of dollars developing complex AI and algorithms to provide users the best experience possible, they want to be reimbursed. I don’t blame them.

This is why channels such as Facebook and LinkedIn make getting your brand’s posts and content to be seen organically within their user’s feeds almost impossible and why they want you to have to pay for that kind of invaluable exposure.

Maybe you are no stranger to the paid media advertising game - you’ve developed strategies around Google search and maybe even Facebook. But there is one platform that tends to scare people when it comes time to whip out that credit card. And that’s LinkedIn.

That’s where this course comes in. 

Upon completion of the Introduction to LinkedIn Advertising course, you’ll learn just how powerful LinkedIn ads can be for your B2B brand, how to make the most of your budget within the platform, and what to look for when managing these campaigns.

You’ll also learn how to best use LinkedIn’s most valuable feature - Audience Targeting. Say hello to the most popular ABM strategy tool you’ve probably never even thought of.

This course is a great fit for digital marketers who are ready to invest in social advertising in a way that is guaranteed to drive the most qualified B2B traffic to your site and explore a brand new profit center.

Self-Selection and the Touchless Buying Experience
Level: Beginner
Is your website forcing visitors to fill out a form to get a quote? Does it make them have to talk to someone before making a purchase?

Fact: Modern buyers don’t want to be sold to. They want to take ownership of their buying decision and know they’re making the best choice for themselves. Why do you think so many hide behind their computer screens rather than browsing (or braving) the aisles of their local stores? 

Self-selection tools (think product match quizzes) transform your website experience to help buyers sell themselves. They help personalize a buyer’s experience on your website, making it not only easier but more enjoyable for them to make a purchase without needing to talk to someone on your team. 

In this course, taught by IMPACT’s Chief Learning Officer Chris Duprey, you’ll learn everything you need to create this experience on your website, including:

  • What exactly a self-selection tool is
  • The different types of self-selection tools
  • How self-selection tools can help shorten the sales cycle and improve website conversion rates by guiding buyers to their best options
  • How to go about building your own self-selection tool
 
This course is a must-see for anyone in marketing, but especially those in sales, marketing, design, and user experience.

The Revenue Team Approach to Sales Enablement Content
Level: Intermediate
No matter how much we publish great traffic-driving, lead-generating content, many of us still have sales teams telling us, “You’re still not publishing what we need” or “Yeah, only maybe 1% of our content helps me close any deals.”

But how is it different from what you're already creating? And how do you go about creating a sustainable, scalable sales enablement content strategy that doesn't make you want to rip your hair out and also makes you look like a total money-making hero at your company?
