38 HOW HUBSPOT DOES INBOUND: CREATING A CONTENT MACHINE And since those that receive the email for the new ebook are probably going to be further down your sales funnel, and this might be the action that incites them to get in touch with Sales, it’s a good idea to let your sales organization know about the latest ebook you’re launching, and provide them with a short synopsis of the key points you touch on so they can carry on a productive conversation with new and existing opportunities. your Services team would also like to know about the new ebook, since it might address the questions they answer on a daily basis. Finally, alert employees in all departments that a new offer is being released, and ask them to share either the landing page or the blog post on their personal social networks -- Twitter is great for this -- to benefit from the network effect of multiple people recommending a piece of content within a short time frame. How HubSpot Does It: HubSpot does this by communicating offer creation with the entire company – from marketing to sales to services, and even product and support! We send out a weekly email titled, “This Week in Marketing” that highlights the upcoming ebooks, whitepapers, webinars, etc., with a short sales soundbite. In addition, employees can also opt-in to receive notifications via a Google Group every time a new offer is created. The content team sends the offer, along with assets such as landing page, email copy, and social media images, in this email so subscribers can quickly access everything they need to know about every piece of long-form content the company publishes. www.Hubspot.com
