Inbound Marketing University

 I would like to hear how social media and CRM are intersecting and how this is going to play out for marketers in the near future.

Who is leveraging social media into their CRM strategies well?

What are some key practical take aways for small business, some must do's in this social media space.

Cheers

 The 1st class was awesome! 

I have been waiting for the last two weeks for this to start, and they really came through. All of the class subjects are things I believe every business should have an understanding of.

I am looking forward to the rest of this weeks class schedule.

I'm very excited about IMU and look forward to all of the sessions, however I will have to view them via the archives, due to my work schedule.  Will the exam be offered at another time,  perhaps one evening?
Thank you

I just found out about this today, and I'm looking forward to the sessions on calls to action and landing pages and lead nurturing. Also SEO. And the viral marketing looks interesting...

I am very excited to learn more about inbound marketing.

As a marketing major, and still a undergraduate, I beleive this is a great opportunity to learn more about e-marketing, and build strong resume, as well as become more knowledgeable about inbound marketing.

I am aiming to become an E-marketer and this course will be one of the very first steps in achieveing my career.

Thank you, IMU! 

I'm not a marketer by profession. I'm a business owner (and Hubspot customer) in a highly competitive online niche (business & life coach training). But I'm also a business coach and mentor to other coaches. The topic of marketing comes up a lot and there's a ton of out-dated beliefs and just plain misunderstanding that stop coaches and other business owners from being really successful.

Inbound marketing is perfect for me and for my business. It's also perfect for coaches. It's giving my business an edge that my competitors lack and I want to learn all I can about it, so I'm grateful to get the time to take these classes and even get a certification for it. It's pretty great that it's free, too! And I'm looking forward to passing on what I learn to my clients and students.

The number one issue that I'm most curious about right now is converting people once they get to the site. Coach training is a big decision, because a person's greatest asset is their career, so we're working to give people the information and confidence to choose us over the other guys. It usually takes repeat visits and experiences and more often than not, an endorsement from someone they trust.

I am excited about the entire opportunity.  I am especially excited about the Social Media and Community.  With this certification, it will allow us to leverage this knowledge with our clients and help them to increase their awareness of Social Media to further their company goals.

I do have a side bar question.  When will the Inbound Marketing Book be available to order?   

I am really excited to use the forums to share thoughts and ideas w/ other marketers.  I love sharing my ideas, but it's really good to get feedback (for instance I made a suggestion you should use micro sites for one off events and Rick made a very strong counter point that helped me learn how to be a better marketer!).
