who spoke about the importance of integrating psychology and behavioural science into any software implementation or digital transformation project, to ensure successful engagement. This approach is crucial to getting value out of HubSpot.

 

After lunch, Dr. Neil Counihan, an orthodontist and medical entrepreneur,

NeilC IMG_4999worked with Cognition and HubSpot to help develop a business he sold this year to BUPA in a multi-million pound deal. While he covered that success during his talk, his main focus was on what he learned about team building and endurance during an expedition to the North Pole and how those lessons can be applied in a personal and business context.

 

Finally, Aidan O’Leary, Head of Channel Sales, HubSpot UKI, MENA and Italy,

spoke about the changing buyer/seller relationship and how HubSpot can help businesses adapt to these changes.

The day ended with a collective ‘Ask the Experts’ panel where topics ranged from the impact of machine learning and AI on marketing and sales, and the specific ways in which automation technologies are changing the practical and psychological demands made of sales teams.
