A Quick Note: Inbound
I know it's been a minute since my last newsletter, and I'm sorry about that. I've been on the road, traveling and speaking at some amazing events. But I'm back, and I'm excited to share some updates with you.
I had the incredible opportunity to speak (twice) at HubSpot's Inbound 24 conference, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The energy in the room was electric, and I loved sharing my thoughts with such a passionate and engaged audience. If you were there, thanks for saying hi and making the event even more special!
For those who might not know, Inbound 24 is more than just a conference; it's a vibrant community of marketers, sales professionals, and customer success specialists coming together to learn, grow, and inspire each other. This year's event was no exception.
Next year Hubspot is moving Inbound to SF, and I highly recommend checking it out (if you’ve never been). inbound.com
I’ve uploaded one of my sessions to my podcast, so if you’d like to get a small preview of the type of content we create at Inbound, you can listen here.
Sponsor: LinkedIn
Hiring the right people is a make-or-break situation for small businesses. That's why I consistently use LinkedIn Jobs. It's the best way to access a vast network of top-tier professionals – something you won't find on generic job boards. LinkedIn's platform simplifies the entire hiring process, something incredibly important when you're juggling a million other responsibilities.
Also, they have a ton of tools that can help you like the job description builder…. it’s a lifesavers.
It's easy to see why millions of small businesses choose LinkedIn for their hiring needs.
