"I wish I'd have found Convergence A YEAR AGO... we'd have saved 50-80+ hours of trial and error" (This group implemented HubSpot on their own)

"HubSpot is great but The Convergence Version is Perfect". Anonymous and Slightly Embarrassed EcDev Executive, 4-28-2022

Importantly - Convergence's team knows economic development. You can only get this version of HubSpot from Convergence.

Sadly, if you've already bought HubSpot from HubSpot directly or from another partner, you may be too late! And the system won't be correctly configured to support your efforts.

All of the HubSpot tools work together.

And it's EASY.

3 Reasons Why You Might Need a New System

If you suffer from the following..

Reason #1. You're partying like it's 1999.

CRM systems found their way to economic development in the 90's. Lot's of EDO's are using these same systems today. Give us your data in excel and step into 2022, HubSpot style.

Reason #2. Your systems are like the electrical wiring in a British sports car.

Your systems are cobbled together.

________________ insert the name of current CRM here + (mailchimp / constant contact) + (survey monkey) + (website) + (our LinkedIn page hasn't been updated in 12 months) + Excel + Outlook and it goes on and on.

Vs.

HubSpot working inside of Outlook & G-mail with HubSpot marketing tools connected to your website..

Reason #3 Black Book Syndrome.

You don't have a system at all. You've got excel and a black book.

Good luck with that.
