Case studies and examples like these are too important to keep to ourselves … so we decided to compile an email course, Double Your Lead Flow in 30 Days, featuring top lead generation experiments from HubSpot and other industry experts.
Over the course of four weeks, the email course will show you the tried and tested methods that have worked for HubSpot and other brands to generate more leads and improve conversion rates. After you’ve finished the email course and implemented your newfound knowledge in your own marketing, you may even start to miss the sales team asking for more leads.
Sound good? Click here to get started with our email course. And don’t forget to keep us updated with your progress using #DoubleLeadFlow on Twitter, too.
