    It helped us to demonstrate our capability and expertise as an agency that was certified to deliver HubSpot training. Having this has certainly helped us win business as we can fully demonstrate our expertise and differentiate ourselves during the sales process.

    We did a 6-hour training for a client who was already using HubSpot but was not using it effectively. From there, it turned into an 80K retainer over 12 months and they are still a client with us, and we work with four of their brands now. In addition to that, we have provided training to a variety of organizations, and 100% of those trainings have turned into retainers.

    Having the accreditation was a complete no brainer...it's helped us in the sales process when selling HubSpot retainers. We often find some nervousness with prospective HubSpot customers in that they're investing a considerable amount of money on both the software and the marketing retainers...Letting them know that we are an accredited trainer has definitely swayed the decision in our favour...We have retainers now that were as a result of us delivering courses.
