In the enterprise for-profit world, sales teams often get droves of leads generated by often sturdy marketing teams. Some are sales-quality standard. Some are not. But the key is that there's steady volume and a systemized qualification in place from the marketing team. Sounds great, right?

Not so much for associations and nonprofits.

It's been an ongoing challenge for association sales and marketing teams to build proper smarketing programs based on association and nonprofit org charts and business models. Marketing teams are often focused on dues and program revenue—where's there's a conversion, not a close (i.e. membership , events, etc.). And Sales teams are focused on sponsorship, advertising, and other corporate programs. Both put in a great deal of effort but often don't work together on mutual goals. 

Until lean marketing & communications teams get more team members who are solely dedicated to feeding the top of the funnel, or sales teams add marketing resources under their budget line, this problem won't be solved.

This is where AI comes in.

So, if you read my previous blog, you'll know that I covered Breeze Agents. If you missed it, I encourage you to check it out. Agents are the new wave of HubSpot AI and potentially the most potent when it comes to efficiency and staff time-savings. Now we're moving on to the Agent's younger and more codependent sib—Breeze Assistant.

This year’s INBOUND brought it per usual. The general sentiment—go with the flow, not against it. The AI flow that is. Touting hybrid human-AI teams as the future of revtech—and business in general—HubSpot announced a flurry of new products, enhancements, and marketing philosophies supporting this credence. 
 
All now drilled into the planks and pillars of HubSpot—the new formula for success is clear:
  • Add methane to the already AI-infused functionality within HubSpot
  • Drop in a dash of ease, speed, and accessibility into the mix
  • Unlock the skill hitches from the people powering the tech
  • Round out data with squishier sources like meetings and conversations

For associations, national and chapter offerings are a common pairing. Giving members and customers access to both the national and regional flavors amps the overall value of the organization. Makes perfect sense.

What's challenging when it comes to national and chapter partnerships—centralizing efforts, data, and communication so that all elements are synthesized for greatness. 

Here's where HubSpot+Spark comes in. Putting the power of national and chapters' arms under a single sign-on umbrella positions orgs to be strategic, productive, and revenue-generating at scale.
