Yamini Rangan
(
HubSpot
, CEO)?
This session started with what’s holding back growth where Yamini Rangan focused?on 3 major disconnects that have created a gap in every marketer’s growth.??
- Disconnected systems because they’re stuck, inefficient and ineffective.?Moreover,?disconnected point solutions aren’t working as solutions anymore. The crux is that we all are dependent on each other for support and throughout the pandemic, it’s been very discouraging because of the lack of human?connection. With no connections with humans, systems are disconnected.??
- Disconnected humans because of the pandemic. People have been disconnected from each other for a long time now. However, we all crave a community. That’s how she urged everyone to indulge in social interactions and come out of the box because that’s important.?
- Disconnected customers because companies aren’t able to reach the customers today. That’s because of the digital fatigue and distrust among them. With this point, shefocusedon how important it is to build healthy relationships of trust and loyalty among the customers.?
Later, she quoted, ‘Privacy is the queen’ and that now the traditional market strategies aren’t going to leave an imprint in the marketing world. For this, it’s important to look forward to a connected customer growth marketing strategy just like HubSpot’s flywheel?that highlights attract, engage and delight stage for the customers.??
- In the Attract stage, we need to be the first to the party with first party data and make sure our distribution is diversified.?
- In the Engage stage, it’s a must to earn that open rate and bring some context to the conversations.??
- In the Delight stage, it’s important to make a buying breeze and provide customers with a helpful channel.??
As she said, it’s time to ‘transform from best in class to best in connection’.?
