Inbound Web Design

OK, so we usually try not to make a point of blurting exaggerated claims around here but…this is the coolest web app I have laid eyes on in a looong time. This is especially so for HubSpot users...well, some HubSpot users (more on that in a bit).

Are you sort of mystified by how all of these API integrations work? You may have asked yourself: "Do I need to hire a developer? What the heck is that going to run me? Do I just sit idly by with my fingers crossed; hoping that the app I want will magically show up in the HubSpot marketplace?"

Great Googley Moogley…

I have a confession to make.

I am a bit of a “quote collector.” I have files upon files of quotes tucked away on my hard drive, post-its on my computer monitor, and littering my desk. Most are one-liners, each summing up a particular area of life and sharing a “pearl of wisdom” from the lives of great marketers, business people, or those who have a knack for motivating us mere mortals.
