At ROI Online, we’re a tad obsessed with HubSpot. Just a smidge.
And why wouldn’t we be? HubSpot is the best platform to integrate both your marketing and your sales strategies. It has all the tools and reporting capabilities you’ll need to measure your success. Plus, it’s easy to use – once you get the hang of it.
On top of being an awesome platform for marketers to host their site, HubSpot also provides dozens of training videos on their Learning Center to help marketers up their game and increase MQL conversion – even marketers who don’t use HubSpot. And did I mention they’re free?
These videos are great resources for experienced marketing directors and novices alike. The only problem? There are a lot of them. Twenty-nine, to be exact. And completion time ranges from 6 minutes to 5 hours.
So how do you know which training videos to watch? Which ones should you start with? Which videos are the most impactful if you don’t have a HubSpot account?
Don’t let the huge selection overwhelm you! Here are five of our favorite HubSpot educational videos you need to watch in your downtime.
