Inbound Marketing 101
"Inbound marketing" occurs when you help your company "get found" by people shopping for the services you provide.
Within 5 hours Mike Volpe, VP of Marketing at HubSpot, will show you step-by-step how to use inbound marketing to improve your lead generation and get more customers coming to you. This isn't a theoretical discussion at 10,000 feet. This is a bring-your-laptop-and-login to evaluate and improve your inbound marketing strategy in real time. You will leave this session educated about inbound marketing, empowered by the new tools you have available, and enthused by the ability to measure your marketing efforts.
