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.

Media and OzFox

M

Some of you will have seen the little article on Talman, OzFox and VFP in ComputerWorld. The link is: While ‘all press is good press’, it has been an eye opener for me. I wasn’t actually interviewed (although I’m quoted), and the slant is not how I would have portrayed OzFox (to me it’s more about community and the generous involvement of many parties, most notably...

VFP9 CLEAR CLASSLIB

V

Here’s welcome news. I was browsing through the new VFP9 features and this one caught my eye: CLEAR CLASSLIB Updated The CLEAR CLASSLIB command now automatically executes a CLEAR CLASS command on each class in the specified class library. Any errors that might occur during release of individual classes (e.g., class in use) are ignored. Why is this good? Well in our systems we often have a...

Nightwish

N

Stumbled upon this band Nightwish while shopping at Media Markt. Great European Operatic Heavy Metal. Bought the CD without even listening to it. Have been listening to it ever since. They are actually from Finland, but big here ofcourse. Looked up their site to check if they were touring around Switzerland and guess what, they’ll be in Australia in March – I’ll check em out...

Diet dummy

D

Not my usual type of blog entry, so here’s something I’ll blame on jetlag: English magazines are a little scarce in Zurich, so we brought over a stack of them for Michele’s sister. One of them was Womans Days (see blog photo entry below). Anyway, I was glancing through this and couldn’t help noticing the headline article about Danni Minogue and her fab new body. How has...

Australian journalism at its finest – see the blog entry above for details – I’ve pasted a page 8 photo from the same magazine issue next to its cover – can you spot the touchups?

Coming down from the OzFox high

C

This last week has been one of the most exciting weeks of my life.From Sunday to Wednesday night I was running around frantically making sure OzFox was on track, coordinating all the last minute details (of which there were many) and crises (of which there were thankfully very few). From Monday morning I was on a high, and it never relented. Introducing the speakers was a great privilege, and the...
