This week's sponsor:
Did you know that most businesses only use 20% of their data?
That's like reading a book with most of the pages torn out.
Point is, you miss a lot.
Unless you use HubSpot.
Their customer platform gives you access to the data you need to grow your business.
The insights trapped in emails, call logs, and transcripts. All that unstructured data that makes all the difference.
Because when you know more, you grow more.
