HubSpot Diamond Partners: What Makes Them So Special?

4 mins read

When looking for a HubSpot agency to work with, you’ll probably see that each one has achieved different levels, like Diamond, Platinum, Silver or Gold. Diamond is the highest tier that an agency can achieve, but what do they have to do to reach that level and what makes them better than those at a lower tier? Let’s find out.

The Tools that HubSpot Agencies Use…

All of the tools your business needs to be successful are within HubSpot’s growth stack, so there’s no need to worry about getting your head around lots of different apps. There are different tiers of HubSpot agencies but whatever their level, they’ll all help your business with the various tools you’ll need to use.

Service Hub

Easily manage and connect with your customers by utilising HubSpot’s Service Hub. It allows you to delight your existing customers who’ll be more likely to refer you to others. Sixty percent of consumers stop doing business with a brand because of a poor customer experience. You can make sure your customers don’t add to this stat with the Service Hub.

CRM

Digital 22 and other HubSpot agencies use the free CRM feature to easily track interactions and deals without being slowed down by messy spreadsheets or ineffective inboxes. It’s perfect for closing all-important sales and allows you to easily manage data.

CMS

HubSpot’s standalone CMS offers a wide range of useful tools that can be used to fine tune your marketing campaigns. Design, reporting and personalisation tools are just a few of the ones we use to build optimised websites that are continuously analysed and improved.

For a more detailed breakdown of the standalone CMS from HubSpot, check out this blog we wrote on its launch when we attended INBOUND 18 in Boston earlier this year.

Marketing Hub

We spend a lot of time in the Marketing Hub, using it to launch effective inbound marketing campaigns. From one place we’re able to modify websites, drive traffic to landing pages, convert visitors into qualified leads and then turn those leads into customers. It’s perfect for getting the absolute most out of your content.

Sales Hub

‘Sell more. Work less’ is how HubSpot describe their Sales Hub. Agencies use the time-saving tool to uncover leads, track every interaction someone has with your website and manage their sales pipeline. See who visits your site in real-time, keep track of prospects and use contextual marketing to ensure they become customers.

Sales teams also finally got some love at INBOUND 18 this year with the launch of the new Sales Hub feature. To find more about the features and how it all helps, check out the blog post we created about the launch.

As useful as the HubSpot tools are, they can still take some getting used to and there’s a lot to learn if you’re new to it. That’s why you’re better off saving time and money by working with a HubSpot Diamond agency who have years of experience and can get started right away.

...and Here's How Diamond Partners Use Them to Go the Extra Mile

If you visit the ‘Hire an Agency’ section of the HubSpot website, you’ll be met with around 2,500 certified inbound marketing agencies from around the world. If you’re looking for specialist help, then you’ve come to the right place. But how do you know which one to choose?

HubSpot agencies are sorted into four different tiers depending on their experience, expertise and how well they’ve performed for their clients. The four tiers are:

  • Diamond

  • Platinum

  • Gold

  • Silver

Diamond Partners are the best of the best and are willing to go the extra mile when it comes to all aspects of your business, including:

Marketing Automation

  • Personalised emails.

  • Reporting and measurement.

  • Internal notifications.

  • Lead nurturing.

Lead Generation

  • Publishing landing pages.

  • Producing effective CTAs.

  • Comprehensive Conversion Rate Optimisation.

  • Website development.

Inbound Sales

  • Assistance setting up HubSpot CRM.

  • Sales enablement.

  • CRM integration.

Content

  • Social media management across all channels.

  • SEO.

  • Blogs.

  • Content creation for websites and downloads.

The Diamond-tier agencies consistently offer the above for their clients, utilising every possible aspect of HubSpot to ensure they exceed their goals and grow as businesses.

Why Should You Work With a Diamond HubSpot Partner?

Diamond is the top tier that a HubSpot agency can reach and it’s a feat that’s only been achieved by one percent of partners. It’s obvious that these agencies know what they’re talking about and are well-versed in all things inbound, but why exactly should you work with them?

Access to the Latest HubSpot Innovations

HubSpot trusts their Diamond partners completely, allowing them to get their hands on beta versions of the latest tools earlier than anyone else. It means agencies like Digital 22 are ahead of the curve, having had time to get to grips with new additions for months before they reach the market.

HubSpot values the opinions of Diamond-tier agencies, asking for feedback so that tools can be perfected before they reach everyone else. This shows that we’ve proven ourselves to HubSpot and that we can be relied on during the testing stage.

By working on the latest HubSpot innovations, we've got a head start over the competition. We can make adjustments and changes first, much faster than others that have to wait for the beta tools to reach full release.

All-Access INBOUND Tickets

We’re also invited to Partner Day at HubSpot’s annual INBOUND conference in Boston, USA. It’s a sneak peek at what’s to come and an opportunity to learn from leading experts about new strategies and techniques that will be successful for clients.

We love networking and learning at INBOUND each year and reporting back to the rest of our team about what we’ve learned. You can read the key takeaways from the 2018 edition of INBOUND here.

If you choose to work with a Diamond-tier agency, then you’ll be accessing a pool of knowledge that’s at the forefront of the industry, thanks to trips to INBOUND, much sooner than agencies in lower tiers.

The Annual Joint Planning Call

Once they’ve achieved Diamond status, agencies are invited onto an exclusive annual call with a HubSpot Partner Marketer.

The call is an opportunity for the agency and HubSpot to talk about the year ahead and the plans the agency has for their clients. This makes sure that the plans they have for you are 100 percent in line with current inbound marketing theory and strategy.
