James Stone (Head of Mid-Market Sales at HubSpot) has been with the company for 14 years, taking part in their growth from $30 Million ARR to $2.5 Billion in 2024. During this time, James has secured Presidents Club 9 times.
HubSpot’s brand is best known for their inbound sales motion. Today in the mid-market sector, James mentions that 25% of their pipeline comes from their business development org, 25-30% comes from their reps proactively prospecting, and another 40-50% comes from inbound and their partner org. The partner program has been a huge focus in recent years, as having HubSpot be part of the onboarding and success process really helps mitigate churn.
