Key Quotes
- "HubSpot has allowed us to differentiate ourselves from our much-larger and more resourced competitors. Our competitors don't have focused strategies centered on the topics that consumers are looking for. We do that, and the benefits have been significant." - Erik Bjornstad, Director of Technical Sales, Bell Performance.
- "I really don’t think we would be in the favorable position we’re in today without both the best-practice Hubspot tools and Top Line Result’s outstanding guidance. They took a company with very little knowledge about what it takes to market and promote our business in today’s new marketplace and helped transform us into the company we are today." - Erik Bjornstad.
