Client Feedback

"Brian and Leo have been instrumental to our upcoming success with HubSpot. Their vast experience is based on a pragmatic hands-on approach, but also backed by their former roles at HubSpot. This often gives us a lot of confidence that we're on the right track with how we implement our ideas. Brian helped us to work through a load of legacy mistakes we've ran into early on, always hinting how best practices would look like, but also understanding what's possible within our realities of highly interconnected systems and processes. After cleanup we're now working towards how HubSpot actually should be used. It's obvious to us that Brian can show off his strengths especially in how to setup a full lead funnel + nurturing and how to enable our growing sales team with the right tools. Not only on a technical level, but also chiming in on strategy and how other peers are handling things. Beyond HubSpot work Brian has been very helpful setting up a lot of Zapier automations, basically anytime when HubSpot's native integrations are falling short. THANK YOU!!"
