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.

Rick writes about his frustration with Dell courtesy of his new notebook. Well, I’m glad to say I have had the exact opposite experience. My new Dell turned up a few weeks back (on the exact day they said they would deliver it no less) and all worked fine. The only issue was a slightly noisy fan sound. It didn’t really bother me until Castro at work took delivery of his and I...

Boy am I looking forward to a break next week (I plan to take a few days off in addition to the regular public holidays).  The last 2-3 months have been incredibly hectic. I’ve worked most weekends and a lot of nights finishing projects (or atleast trying to!), working on proposals and even making some wins. Last week Talman welcomed a very experienced Senior VFP Developer to the team...

The thing I like about Whil’s conference description is how he is focussing on best practice. A little while back Scott and I discussed the need for better design in the VFP development space. Our basic point was that VFP’s ease of use had often lead to an abandonement of proper analysis and design in many projects (not least our own!).  To this end Scott will be presenting...

There comes a stage in young man’s life… (well kinda young) Well, I thought it would never happen, but I have now officially entered that stage of life where the BBQ is a prominent feature. Got this little beauty on Saturday and it has been BBQ central at our place ever since. I love this time of year. December is probably my favourite month. The weather is warm, but not too...
