Or is it just called something else these days\u2026?\n\n2: A look at Gary Vee\u2019s trip to #Inbound16\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdGgBp4hoTk\n\nNotice how he engages with people before the keynote \u2013 he\u2019s very involved.\n\n3: ecommerce interviews coming up\nBTW stay tuned for our upcoming interviews with HubSpot marketers: all about ecommerce \u2013 look out for them over the Holiday period!\n\nShot 2: HubSpot Feature/Tip of the Week\nTip 1: Lead Flows\nHubSpot Marketing Free:\n\nhttp://www.hubspot.com/products/marketing/free\n\nLead Flows:\n\nhttp://www.hubspot.com/product-updates/introducing-lead-flows-for-hubspot-marketing\n\nGotcha: if you have LeadIn installed as well as HubSpot then the Lead Flows won\u2019t show. So disable LeadIn on your WordPress site if you already have HubSpot installed.\n\nGood to test with sites. Simple to setup and target, and easy to add to smart lists.\n\nIn smart lists, include Form Submits from forms that have Lead Flow names.\n\nContacts who fill out Lead Flows can be enrolled in Workflows, just like any other form submit.\n\nInteresting that Lead Flows are under the Content menu, and not under Contacts \u2013 I thought they\u2019d be more like Forms (which is under Contacts). HubSpot considers it a Call to Action, rather than just a Form.\n\nTip 2: Excluding your IP address in HubSpot\nGo to Report Settings and scroll to the bottom\n\nShot 3: Challenge of the Week\nDon\u2019t be rude to telemarketers \u2013 they are people just like you and me\n\nTip: Live as though every interaction will be broadcast for the world to see.\n\nShot 4: Stat of the Week\nvirtual reality marketing technology ads 01 01\n\nSource: Google Data, Global, May 2016.\n\nShot 5: Opinion(s) of the Week\nBlack Friday Buyer\u2019s Remorse\n\nhttp://www.craigbailey.net/black-friday-buyers-remorse/\n\nGood comparison of how complementary working with an agency can be with your internal marketing team.
