Recently, I attended HubSpot's 2024 INBOUND event, a three-day conference showcasing the latest in marketing, sales, and AI. Listen to this episode to hear the three biggest takeaways from the event. Why is HubSpot’s INBOUND Conference Important? HubSpot is one of the leading marketing companies, dedicated to gathering and sharing essential industry insights. The conference is a key platform for unveiling the latest trends and innovations in marketing, and sales. INBOUND brings together industry leaders, offering attendees the chance to network, share ideas, and build partnerships with top professionals in their fields. It also features thought leaders and innovators who inspire attendees with new perspectives and creative solutions to business challenges. 1. Search is Dying To some extent, search engines are declining. Is it even worth caring about what Google thinks of ChatGPT writing anymore? HubSpot estimated that search is projected to decrease by 25% by the year 2026. Why is this happening? Honestly, what’s the point of using Google when you can just use AI? 2. Personalize, Personalize, Personalize There are some terrible cold emails out there, and recently, I received one. A guy literally pitched podcasting services to me (Donald C. Kelly😭). How funny! If he had done his research, he would’ve known why he was wasting his time. Remember, personalization involves deep research! Guess what else? HubSpot is figuring out how to use AI in their cold email outreach to help people avoid this mistake. 3. Spend More Time on Social Media Yes, social media platforms are designed to keep you spending more time on them. But can you blame them? It’s how they make money.
