“Prospecting with HubSpot Sequences”

A Detroit HUG Webinar

  • Tuesday, December 7 | 11:00AM - 12:00PM EST

Learn to improve your reach with the right behaviors, attitudes, and techniques by leveraging the tools available in Sales Hub and the available automated tools.

The need to sell and prospecting didn’t change during the pandemic. If anything, the pandemic stressed the need to find new and unique ways to prospect and sell without traditional meetings and events. Prospecting through LinkedIn, email, and traditional cold calls have never been more important.

A CRM like HubSpot can help you be organized with the WHO, but managing the HOW and WHEN requires specific tools. This is where the Behaviors, Attitudes, and Techniques of Sandler Training, partnered with the automation tools of Sales Hub, come in. Stay organized, on time, and efficient. In this presentation, Chris will show you templates he uses to automate prospecting, selling, and earning new business when the traditional methods change.

Presenter: Chris Drouin

A 20 year veteran of sales and marketing, Chris is currently a Sandler Sales Training Executive coaching and working with salespeople, sales leaders, and company executives. Chris has worked in a diverse range of industries for some of the premier brands in those fields.
