HubSpot

What we’d expect selling here to look like

HubSpot sells subscription CRM, marketing, sales and service software to organizations ranging from startups and small businesses to enterprises, with a free CRM and free tools as an entry point alongside demos of premium editions. The product implies a sale that often starts with free users and moves them to paid editions, then expands them across additional hubs as the customer grows.

What it builds, by career stage

Breaking in

For SDRs, BDRs and those aiming for a first SDR role, the product implies working inbound interest from free CRM users and demo requests, which builds fluency in how marketing, sales and service teams run their customer data and pipeline.

Building

For account executives, account managers and those working toward those titles, it implies moving a customer from free tools or Starter editions to premium editions and adding hubs such as Marketing, Sales, Service or Revenue Hub.

Leading

For sales managers, directors and heads of sales, it implies leading teams that sell a multi-product platform across very different customer sizes, from small businesses on a Starter bundle to enterprises on the Enterprise platform.

Where it can take you

The experience travels to SaaS sales roles across CRM, marketing technology and customer service software, such as mid-market account executive, enterprise account executive, customer success manager or partner manager. It also suits roles at agencies and solutions partners that implement CRM platforms.
