From Pain Points to Proficiency: The Impact of On-Site HubSpot Training

Training and earning user buy-in on a new platform is arguably the toughest part of any technology implementation. But you don’t have to go it alone. 

If you want to implement Quickbooks, you work with an authorized reseller. When you onboard a new project management system, you work with a dedicated representative. And when you’re ready to leverage HubSpot for your marketing, sales, and customer success needs, you work with SmartBug Media.® (At least, you should!) 

SmartBug is the destination for HubSpot expertise, strategy, and implementation, with a team of certified HubSpot trainers to support you. Discover how our in-depth HubSpot trainings can help you navigate the waters of one of the world’s most robust customer lifecycle platforms.

Get to Know SmartBug's HubSpot Trainers

Co-created by our very own team of HubSpot trainers, the SmartBug Training Program has been developed to be customizable based on your team needs, technology implementations, and timelines. 

A key spoke in our training flywheel is our HubSpot Training Program, led by a team of certified trainers. Your trainer(s) walk beside you—virtually or in-person—using their combined 30 years of HubSpot CRM, onboarding, and implementation experience to ensure your team gets the most from the platform.

Pain Points We Can Help You Overcome

“Everyone loves it and we experienced zero roadblocks!”

... said no one ever of a new tech rollout. 

We know you’ll love HubSpot, but everyone has their own learning curves, competing priorities, and unique needs across disciplines. During any tech implementation, we often observe clients running into challenges ranging from underutilization to lack of alignment between sales, service, and marketing teams to inefficient processes.

SmartBug clients come to us with a variety of pain points they need a little extra training to solve. We kick it into high gear to deliver tailored solutions for their unique situations. 

Some clients reach out to improve their sales, marketing, and customer success processes. The right fit? Working with our HubSpot trainers to identify gaps, discrepancies, and friction points. But no two HubSpot trainings are identical; other clients may need help with day-to-day workflows to meet sales and revenue goals, and we are able to tackle that, too.

Training Tailored to Your Needs

At SmartBug, we take a personalized “choose your own path” approach to HubSpot training because we know the needs and skill levels of every client differ. We offer both workshops and immersive training, leaning on our discovery process to determine the right fit. 

SmartBug starts by getting to know you and your pain points so we can help define your training goals. Workshops are best suited to refining processes and strategy, whereas full trainings take you from novice to master—giving you the keys to manage your customer lifecycle. And it’s all fully customized for you.
