DESCRIPTION
In this session Drew Himel from PCR Agency will walk you through how his agency added close to $500,000 in new revenue in less than 8 months through upselling his existing client base and helped PCR become the fastest partner ever to reach Platinum. The session will cover the exact process PCR used to identify which clients were great candidates for upselling to Inbound Marketing and which clients they realized were profit suckers and how they handled each. Once you have identified which clients are the best fit for inbound marketing the next step is coming up with a well organized sales approach. You will walk away from this session with the exact questions PCR used, what documents and presentations they presented to advocate for an Inbound Marketing Budget and how they differentiated themselves from a Upselling clients is the critical first step but once you have sold an account, how do you implement the strategy outlined? The presentation will go over the exact proposals PCR used, their unique approach to fulfilling Inbound for clients, and the structure of clients meetings and what they cover. Drew will go over in detail how he completely reorganized his entire staff to become a full Inbound Marketing Agency. You will leave with the personality testing he uses to identify Inbound Marketers, interview process, training and education for employees.TRANSCRIPT

HOW WE’VE STAFFED
OLD MODEL
PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT
HOW WE HIRE
We needed something other than a resume, certain type of degree, or
“experience in the field” to find if we were the right environment for the
right team members.
WHO WE LOOK FOR
HOW WE FIND THEM
HOW WE KEEP THEM
BILL OF RIGHTS
VALIDATION
All that combined to make us a HubSpot platinum partner.
