“HubSpot has everything in a single location, and the reporting component makes a huge difference. The integration of digital activities in one place is so convenient to have. HubSpot’s training is also really useful, giving entry-level users a more in-depth understanding of how the product works. You can even apply employee goals to training, and at the end of the day, you are going to have a more educated workforce.”
