Hubcast 194: #INBOUND18 Reflections, Texting Contacts, and... #THEYKINDOFMADEITFREE!

By Carina Duffy

Hubcast 194: #INBOUND18 Reflections, Texting Contacts, and... #THEYKINDOFMADEITFREE!

This episode of the Hubcast is brought to you by Needls.

INBOUND for the year is over, and while we'll miss it, it’s time to move on to the next big thing.

To close out our thoughts on #INBOUND18, Marcus and I share the top things we liked and didn't like about the week.

Property of the Week: Hidden Reporting Properties Part 2

Deal Status

On episode 192, we introduced HubSpot’s hidden reporting properties (Deals Calculated Information) that were only available with custom reporting.

Well, now, all Pro and Enterprise accounts have custom reporting WITHOUT the reporting add-on! #THEYKINDOFMADEITFREE!

“Deal status groups your deals into Won, Lost, or Open (includes all other stages) and can be used when building a custom report to show you a count of deals in each stage type.”

Makes it super easy to run a report to see something like how many deals were created this month that are open vs. won vs. lost.

What’s on Marcus’ Mind

Brian spent most of his keynote at INBOUND talking about the "flywheel."

It's become a big topic of discussion in our circles (specifically this thread in IMPACT Elite).

Is the funnel really dead? Is the flywheel really the best analogy? Listen to the ep to find out what we think!

HubSpot Wishlist: SMS to Contacts

“Workflow seems to have internal SMS but there is no option for SMS to contacts.  Thinking as a reminder of appointments it would be a great feature.

I understand there are legal issues around the use of SMS but be great if could figure a way to use it and manage that it is used within legal guidelines." - Jems212

[Now Live] Bi-directional Sync for Salesforce Accounts and HubSpot Companies

“Recently, we released a beta of bi-directional account sync with HubSpot companies and Salesforce accounts. This feature is now available to all integrated portals. HubSpot will now create accounts in Salesforce and manage re-associations.

Now, if your Salesforce settings are set to create new contacts in Salesforce when a new contact is created within HubSpot, and that contact is associated to a company in HubSpot, we will automatically create a new account record in Salesforce for the associated company.

The new contact and account records will be associated in Salesforce just like they are in HubSpot.”
