Who Should Get the HubSpot Salesforce Integration Certification

Let's get personal.

I started my career in tradeshow management for an international logistics company. I was 21 and given a sales team to corral for 70+ tradeshows annually.

In case it's not clear, that's no easy task.

On top of managing the sales team's participation, I also had to book the booth, arrange for travel, and build and execute a marketing promotion plan for each event.

A few months into my job I was tasked with creating an email campaign to market to attendees before the show. I was told to use our marketing platform, HubSpot, to do the campaign.

So, I logged into HubSpot Academy and got to work learning how to create a marketing email and how to build a workflow. 

It seemed easy enough. I logged into HubSpot and quickly built a compelling email campaign.

Then it was time to build the list of recipients for the email. 

My manager let me know that we used Salesforce as our primary CRM. The data I needed to email attendees was in Salesforce and I'd need to pull it into HubSpot using the integration.

I scoured the internet for resources on how to do this. On the best way to install the integration. On how to properly manage this integration and get the data I needed in HubSpot the correct way.

It took me days to figure out and I was never fully confident in how it was done.

But I loved the challenge. I was fueled by the ability to connect two databases. So, I took to freelancing and spent hours outside of my 9-5 mastering the integration. I installed it 10 times, then 20, then 50 for companies from all industries and of all sizes.

Fast forward to now, almost 10 years later. 

I've created a company designed to provide the resources I needed all that time ago. I've spent the past 3 years developing Coastal Consulting into the #1 go-to agency for installing, fixing, and managing the HubSpot Salesforce integration

And now, I bring that knowledge to you. I've built a course featuring 86 videos on how to install, manage, optimize, and win with the HubSpot Salesforce integration.

This certification is designed for Marketers, Sales Ops, or RevOps professionals managing the HubSpot Salesforce integration. For professionals looking to go deeper into the technical and strategic knowledge surrounding the integration. 

When you're ready to fast-track your HubSpot Salesforce integration education so you can avoid the years of trial and error, enroll in the HubSpot Salesforce integration course. I'll see you there!

Sincerely,

Lauren Ryan
