"SmartBug has conducted HubSpot training since we first started working with HubSpot clients over a decade ago and started offering HubSpot onboarding, configuration and team training in November 2019," Chief Revenue Officer Stephanie Valenti said. "We have continued to offer configurations with training to a range of customers from small, local companies to large corporations who have multi-team and multi-hub implementations with many moving parts. This accreditation proves our success in all of the above."
