Use HubSpot Better

Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot, marketing strategy and general life experiences. You can read my posts here.

(If you are looking for the Content is King post by Bill Gates it is here)

I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:

  • The first is XEN Systems. We help government departments and mid-large B2B technology companies with their sales and marketing strategy, including implementation and training in HubSpot 
  • The second is XEN Create. We provide premium graphic design services to companies, with a focus on using the latest AI tools, including Midjourney
  • The third is XEN Solar, where we help high quality solar companies (dealers, installers) with their sales and marketing processes.

I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.

Believe the hype – Popfly really is that impressive.
I've only done the most basic of tutorials, but you can see here how a mashup of Live images and Photo sphere works. You need to sign in with a Live ID to make something, but anyone can view/use it if you choose to share it.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Readiness

M

Not a release, not even a launch, but a readiness event. Boy, they do get the machine going early these days. That said I'll be at the Business track that Dave Lemphers is blogging about. We've got to keep up with all these new things, and I have a feeling Microsoft may be starting to get the CRM product sort of functional at last (we have CRM 3 at Elcom and everyone hates it!)...

Atlassian consider enabling JIRA with TFS

A

Over at Atlassian (they of the recent Microsoft partnership announcement) they're asking for feedback on whether to build a TFS plugin for JIRA. Add your comment here if it is of interest to your situation.

VFP: Did someone mention FoxPro?

V

Apparently there was some news about a Visual FoxPro release this week. I searched but couldn’t find anything :-). Except this, this, this, this, this, this. (To be fair to myself I did mention it on my link blog here.) Or perhaps I was getting it confused with this article about salesforce.com’s new Visual Force, which David Berland likened to an on-demand version of FoxPro. The...

DevWorkz SharePoint workshop

D

Perhaps worth a look if you are evaluating the many different SharePoint helpers, DevWorkz (which I reckon is a dumb name) has a Discovery Workshop for people to checkout their offering. Seems to be free…

Unified Communications

U

It won't be long before UC is just another generally accepted business process, with every all linked together. Remember when mobile phones were just… phones. Yep, it all changes so fast. Microsoft's unified communications strategy is now getting mature.
