Ricardo Molina’s Post

As consumers become more intentional with their purchase decisions they expect more out of the companies they purchase from. And consumers are begging to be connected with- batting the sales pitch out of bound. That means in an era of filters, it's time to get real, quick. Developing a human-centric community approach to your marketing, sales and service processes is a sure shot to get there. HubSpot (a leader in the community building game) and the HubSpot Academy along with Ricardo Molina, Nick Lafakis and myself are helping you develop real human-to-human connection for your community initiatives. Our 6-week community building bootcamp (starting Thursday, February 1, 2024 from 11:00-12:00 PM EST) will: 🧡 Answer your community building questions 🧡 Guide you to create a kick-butt ecosystem that puts connection before transaction to build trust, brand affinity, and long-term healthy relationships with all members, prospect or customer. Is this the right place for you? (it probably is) But ask yourself: 1. Do you have a community? 2. Does that community align with your business goals? 3. Does your business align with your community goals? 4. Do you own your community data? 5. Does your tech stack help set up processes and measure your success? If you are not sure join for clarity. Even if you got yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, join... Because this session is more hands-on, group focused and update-to-date with fresh off the new year material for you.

When I signed up for the HubSpot Academy's Community Building Bootcamp at the start of the year, I didn't know what to expect. Now, 2 weeks in, I'm sure it was the best decision! 😊 I've already learnt so much in the first 2 weeks. I love that the curriculum is nudging me to reassess some core elements of my community and how it functions. I've also gotten theoretical validation for some initiatives that I've already set up in my community (yay!). Here are my key takeaways from Weeks 1 and 2: 1️⃣ As it grows, try not to lose sight of your community's "WHY" - Why did you decide to build this connection point for your clients? And what makes you / your brand the best place for this connection? 2️⃣ In a successful community, the conversations cannot be unidirectional. Commmunity members need to be actively involved in the value creation process 3️⃣ Advocacy breeds more community engagement. Community members feel energized and inspired to keep going when they see evidence of others who have successfully achieved the goals they've set for themselves. “To sell the journey, showcase what will become” 4️⃣ Connecting your CRM and community can give you key insights into how your community is influencing or can influence your client's journey with your product/brand. For instance, is asking questions, attending events, and learning from community content accelerating their progress towards key milestones? 5️⃣ Community can help support marketing goals (ex: content distribution), sales goals (ex: upsells to offerings that support your main product), and customer service goals (ex: retention, testimonials) Shout-out to Ricardo Molina, Nurit Aizenstros, and Nick Lafakis for making each session so structured, interesting, and engaging! Can't wait for this weeks' session🔥 🤩 A special shoutout to Ethan M. for sending this bootcamp my way and encouraging me to enroll ❤️ #communitybuilding #communitymanagement #communityengagement #communityimpact

As I start week 3 of HubSpot Academy's community building bootcamp, I am absolutely rivetted by the contents that are intuitive for in my IRL relationships being applied in a digital space. If I had to summarize one of my key learnings it would be: 💡 Connection before Content 💡 This is critical to growing your business and connecting in a B2B segment. The instructors provide a great framework for this process for those in marketing, sales and service. I highly recommend! You may want to follow Nurit Aizenstros, Ricardo Molina, and Nick Lafakis for more gems! 💎 #hubspotacademy #community #professionaldevelopment #businessgrowthstrategies

I recently wrapped up my 6-week Hubspot Super Admin Bootcamp and what an exciting experience it was! From diving into advanced portal management strategies to discovering hidden gems within HubSpot, it was crazy how much knowledge and expertise was shared during such a short time. Some of my favorite highlights include: 🏹 Actionable assignments: We didn't just learn theories, but we also got to put them to use, sometimes even on the spot! Data cleaning, user management, security settings review, you name it. 💡 The spontaneous tips. Shoutout to George B. Thomas for dropping wisdom nuggets left and right. I did not know how much I wanted Tick-Tock-Today until I learned about it. 🦁 The awesome community. Connecting with fellow orange-blooded professionals was a highlight! It didn't help with my imposter syndrome but I'm still glad I got to learn so much from the shared experiences and brainstorming sessions. 🔥 The contagious energy from the instructor team: Debbie Olusola Akintonde George B. Thomas Stjepan Grcic Olivia Perek-Clark Dan Tyre Kyle Jepson. A huge thank you to all of you for making the experience as valuable as it was! #HubSpotSuperAdminBootcamp #hubspotacademy

Last winter, I started on a mission to bring back the Maine HubSpot User Group, and I could use some help from fellow HubSpot users and enthusiasts out there in the great state of #Maine. 1️⃣ If HUG ME comes back as a primarily online meetup, what sort of content would you like to see? I'll add a link to a 6 question Survey Monkey in the comments. PLEASE take a moment to let me know what would make this a great value for you and your team. 2️⃣ If you're as excited as I AM to bring back Maine's own little piece of the HubSpot ecosystem, there will also be a link in comments to join the Maine HUG on the HubSpot events site. I know it's a leap of faith to join when I haven't posted any events yet, but that's because I'm asking YOU what you want to hear! PS - In-person meetups are also an option. Feel free to comment if you'd like that, and tell me where. #HubSpot #Marketing #Sales

Week 3 of the Community Bootcamp from HubSpot done. ✅ Community = human connection = the most natural thing in the world... right? Well, yes. But also no. So far I've been confronted by the fact I know nothing about community building. And that's totally okay. 😅 I always thought community building should be done organically, as a result of your business vision and values. But in reality, it needs its own strategy, it needs boundaries, it needs to be guided by an admin and it needs a separate vision to your business. Thanks to Nurit Aizenstros, Ricardo Molina and Nick Lafakis for the past few weeks, excited to keep learning! For anyone considering the bootcamp, these guys know their sh*t. #HubSpot #Community #HubSpotBootcamp
