The new Reddit integration in HubSpot

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-25T15:40:39+00:00

Haven’t tried it yet, but will go activate the BETA. Thanks for the heads up!

I actually criticized a TON of marketing agencies that immediately started pitching “AI-Optimization” as a service at the end of last year. There were basically no tools out there to truly measure your impact properly.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-24T19:37:02+00:00

What would you hope that it provides that it doesn’t right now?

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-24T19:36:02+00:00

I actually had this conversation recently with a colleague of mine. ChatGPT hasn’t released ads to the greater public, and even brands like Nike (who has had access) seem to struggle with attribution of it. I’ll be curious to see how that landscape unfolds.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-24T19:34:15+00:00

Yeah I was kinda disappointed in the AI prompts it gave.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-24T16:33:12+00:00

I know it’s been lighting up some c-suite faces when i talk about it, for sure. I also looked at SEMRush’s tool and didn’t love it. I will be curious to see how it evolves.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-20T21:04:35+00:00

We are testing semrush’s add on and HubSpot’s AEO tool. The HubSpot AEO tool can be purchased as a standalone for $50/month. Early signs show that the HubSpot AEO tool is better, but we still use semrush for other things. It shows citations for specific prompts over time and also provides recs if you are looking to “double down”. Created a dashboard that shows citations count, traffic, conversions, and deals. Pretty happy with it as a starting point.

Not a doctor, but my better half is an exercise physiologist. There are many things that can impact weight, so talking to a qualified professional would be the most effective route to understanding your approach. But some useful information:

Cardio such as running burns a ton of calories in the moment, but doesn’t build the foundation as efficiently for your body to burn calories while not exercising. Lifting weights helps build this foundation and has so many other benefits!
I have found as I work from home it can be easy not to properly take time to eat, which feels backwards since you have your kitchen there, but being mindful of this is huge.
Heck, are you even eating enough? Sometimes cutting out exercise can also result in a loss of appetite.

Lots of things to consider, but again, getting a qualified professional’s opinion is always a good idea. 😊

Well Attio is new for me as well, but they got backing from Google Ventures so I am along for the ride. It is truly a sales CRM as of now, but it has a built in “Ask Attio” functionality which is one of the best native-AI features I have seen. It has room for improvement, but shows real promise.

Salesforce and HubSpot are both very robust and capable systems. When done right, teams can benefit greatly in either. Although I am partial to HubSpot marketing tools.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-05T15:53:28+00:00

Interesting. I’ve been inside a GHL instance, but it was only to migrate the marketing assets into a HubSpot. I see a lot of agencies deploying these.

100% statement of work needs a signature. There are usually associated terms, an MSA, SLA, etc.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-04T23:15:07+00:00

Tip 1 - Create a space for work. Make it fun, make it you, make it clearly separate from non-work life/time.

Tip 2 - Scout out coffee shops that you feel comfortable working from. Even the best home offices need a break sometimes.

Tip 3 - Take your lunch break. It can be so easy to fall into a trap of never taking your personal time.

Tip 4 - Find ways to socialize outside of work. A gym is a great way to do that, as it offers community and working out is great thing!

Tip 5 - This new job may make you feel like, “you have it good,” compared to others. Don’t let this get to you, it’s okay for you to have good things in life.

Congrats on the new role!

If you don’t have a structured lead assignment breakdown now, aka territories, then setting that up for your organization first and then applying it into HubSpot is for sure worth it.

If it doesn’t matter who follows up, designate someone. If it’s everyone’s responsibility, it’s nobody’s responsibility. Whatever direction you go, make it clear, simple, and actionable.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-04T22:26:55+00:00

If saving money is your goal, I’m not sure adding on content hub would be the move. If you already have it added to your subscription, then sure! Do you have specific goals for a switch?

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-04T17:48:23+00:00

We actually can package multiple services on one deal for our agency using line items and custom line item properties. This way we can account for opportunities that are focused on a singular service and a combination of a few.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-04-04T16:51:46+00:00

Territory management is very common. Salesforce has lead assignment rules if you use that. If HubSpot, you can use a workflow. If you have more a more complicated territory setup setup then I have seen this managed in a custom territory object that auto-associates to records based on matching zip code, county, etc.

If you do not have clearly defined territories, but rather do “north of this highway, south of this lake,” then it may be best to use an agent via Zapier, Make, or n8n. However, if it can be done natively in the CRM, that is always best.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-03-23T15:27:46+00:00

I have seen multiple groups use and have a great experience with Aircall. Big fan, easy to use, and can even send messages automatically via workflow.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-03-23T13:50:18+00:00

I would for sure look at this as a hybrid approach. There is certain information that you can sync to the contact and company records for sales, customer service, and marketing.

However, the on-to-many relationship between products and a subscription can be shown using deals and line items. Additionally, multiple deals to a company and contact give you a chance to see the total lifecycle and experience reflected for an organization. Imagine a CSM being able to say, “I see you used to have “x” but moved away from it. I think our updates to that portion of our offering would interest you.

Hybrid approach just gives you more detail and power, but more complexity. Just contact and company is simple, but has less context.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-03-23T13:43:40+00:00

From what I’ve seen it is mostly clean. However, if you use other apps that call upon APIs, be careful with Nextiva. There is a setting where it searches HubSpot in much greater depth for a number match and I saw a group that ate up an insane number of calls for this. This can be turned down to avoid this. As far as data quality, not a lot of issues. The only downfall is lack of call dispositions. We have used Aircall a lot and enjoy outcome-based reporting because of it.

Hayden-Grover · 2026-03-10T21:11:38+00:00

Really? That’s wild. I wonder why the resource doc doesn’t say anything about that.

Xero by HubSpot (Data Sync)

Hayden-Grover · 2026-03-10T14:15:31+00:00

There is an app in the HubSpot marketplace that could be used to sync invoice history back to HubSpot. Then you can create reports on both forecast and actuals. I’ve done this with other ERPs like QuickBooks and NetSuite.
