[![Learn the new method to easily identify the right prospects at the right time...](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1966464/38043985-0197-4d2f-b3e4-4da3c8917a93.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1966464/38043985-0197-4d2f-b3e4-4da3c8917a93)

 

The video includes:

1. Create your strategy and goals ([here](https://www.thetreegroup.co.uk/news/the-importance-of-a-sales-and-marketing-strategy-and-how-to-create-one))
2. Complete your ideal customer research ([here](https://www.thetreegroup.co.uk/services/research))
3. Run quarterly campaigns based on content topics ([here](https://www.thetreegroup.co.uk/news/how-to-increase-website-traffic-for-automotive-companies))
4. Regularly publish blog posts; share them on social and email ([here](https://www.thetreegroup.co.uk/services/content))
5. Use social advertising to quickly attract website visitors
6. Include a conversion path on every page/post ([see/click CTAs for '30 Greatest'](https://www.thetreegroup.co.uk/news/single-post/2017/08/23/know-about-inbound-sales-it25e225802599s-made-for-the-modern-buyer-in-automotive-and-motorsport))
7. Don't include PDF links on your website; use forms to generate leads
8. And, learn exactly how to do Inbound marketing and sales ([free courses here](https://academy.hubspot.com/))

 

Some other recommendations for you:

1. Update your blog with a summary of posts + sidebar ([example](https://www.thetreegroup.co.uk/news))
2. Add a main offer throughout your website with button in header ([example](https://www.aircycletechnology.co.uk/))
3. Once you're posting regular content, try growing Twitter using [Owlead](https://owlead.com/)
4. Use unique URLs in print/advertising then monitor effectiveness

 

And, these are the HubSpot tools to make that as easy as possible:

1. CRM ([Free](https://www.hubspot.com/pricing/crm)) --> Make it easy to manage your contacts
2. Marketing Starter ([£42/month](https://www.hubspot.com/pricing/marketing?selectedPackage=starter)) --> For email marketing + forms
3. Sales Starter ([£42/user/month](https://www.hubspot.com/pricing/sales?selectedPackage=starter)) --> Time saving tools for Gmail/Outlook
4. Move your website to HubSpot so it's much easier to manage and track ROI
