"HubSpot is crazy expensive."

I hear this statement a few times every month.

Admittedly, when you combine your number of contacts, paid sales seats, and paid customer service seats, it is surely an investment for those who are serious about growing their business.

However, the "HubSpot is expensive" opinion is more about the person saying it than it is about HubSpot. Let me explain.

HubSpot was founded in 2005 with zero customers. Today, over 78,000 businesses in 120 countries use HubSpot to grow. With the company pulling in $675 million in revenue last year, HubSpot is one of the most impressive growth stories of the past 15 years - from the raw numbers and thought leadership, to their culture and transparency.

What would you ask someone who was in the room that first year and has been instrumental at the company every step of the way since?

Several times a week, I speak to business leaders who ask me if HubSpot is the right fit for their company. 

Since I’m known for helping companies grow using HubSpot, you might think that I recommend HubSpot to every CEO I encounter.

There are 4.5 million new blog posts published every day. What does that mean for a company that is publishing content to get found?

It means that the competition is fierce.

How many concerts did you attend last year? One concert? Two concerts? Every other weekend?

For most performers, a concert is a one-time event. They move from city to city scooping up revenue from each venue’s ticket and merchandise sales.

The thing I love most about inbound marketing and sales is I don’t have to sell.
