Kevin Dunn is a professor at HubSpot Academy, owning all agency growth content.
Kevin and I met at HubSpot HQ a few weeks ago and I was so excited about what he was doing for agencies, I had to have him on the show!

HubSpot Wishlist: Allow HubSpot Partners to open private tickets in client portals with Support Inbox
“It would be very beneficial for HubSpot Partners to be able to create a private ticket (either that or only ever be able to see your own support tickets). Once a client has access to a portal we are managing for them, it would be preferable to be able to talk with support privately.” - Craig (Platinum Partner)
Strategy: What’s On Kevin’s Mind
Focus as we launched Service Hub, and approach INBOUND and beyond is enablement.
Helping our partners learn tools before customers, receive additional information around positioning, demo-ing, and selling — and then how your menu of services/deliverables can incorporate new features/tools.
We talk “Demo Like a Pro,” “partner exclusive lesson videos,” and “how to sell” product pages.
We’re also trying to solve for agencies’ request for more “business” content; consulting around how to start, run, and grow an agency, so we’ve created the Agency Unfiltered web series.

HubSpot Updates
[Now Live] New Agency Partner Cert
There were some methodology shifts and new tactics we wanted to incorporate into our existing Agency Partner Certification.
We took feedback from partners, condensed content, overhauled the sales content, and even added interview content with successful partner agencies.
Check out the New Agency Partner Cert here.
[Now Live] Guided Client Onboarding Track
This caters mostly to agencies that have just started in the partner program.
It really walks you through the process of bringing your first client into HubSpot and then managing their customer lifecycle all the way until they renew their subscription with HubSpot and renew their services with your agency.
Client onboarding plans, marketing, and sales handoff processes, launching campaigns - it's all there!
