How do we use Hubspot?
Landing Pages
A landing page is a webpage where individuals input theirinformation in exchange for downloadable content – turning them into leads that are pushed down the sales funnel.
Is this sweet n’ sticky?
“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
Call to action
A call to action is an offer
What are we asking from our viewers?
Should they download an ebook?
Attend a webinar?
What’s the “hook?” Where’s thevalue?
How do we engage our audience?
• Social Media – Top of the funnel• Blog - Top of the funnel• eBooks - Middle of the funnel• Webinars – Bottom of the funnel
Again, what is our philosophy?
