Background

As HubSpot continues to acquire new customers, the HubSpot Partner ecosystem has grown immensely.

But there’s a few things Fission saw lacking in the Partner Ecosystem that are our top priorities:

Flexibility

No one likes working with an agency partner only to be nickel-and-dimed for every “out of scope” request or surprise jump in hours. But with better HubSpot usage, comes more ideas that were previously not possible or considered out of scope. Fission's plans are intentionally general and very transparent in price to provide the flexibility and clarity your team needs as you grow with HubSpot.

HubSpot AND Business Expertise

There are many talented agencies out there. However, few are experts at both HubSpot and Marketing, Sales, and Client Success. In order to grow with HubSpot effectively, you need both. There’s a million ways to build the same thing in HubSpot - you need a Partner that can look at the whole picture and implement the best way for you and your team.

This is why Fission exists.

Client Reviews and Feedback

• Review from the CEO of a high-growth consumer product company: "I feel like we hit the jackpot with Fission! Their owner Connor gets your business needs and stays engaged on your account (doesn't just take the first call and then hand you off) and his whole team is extremely well vetted and strong."
• Review from the Head of RevOps for an influencer tech company: "Fission was a great value for our business and great partners to work with throughout getting our instance up, running, and optimized. We had some very unique business cases that we needed to account for within HubSpot and the team never shied away from the challenge, but rather came up with unique, creative solutions on how to make things work."
• Review from the Managing Director of a private equity firm whose portfolio companies are clients of Fission: "As a growing business in a very competitive space, we've got a lot of things to work on and a deep need to watch our dollars. Fission has set up and directly manages our CRM. If i say they are "responsive", that would minimize how quickly modifications, reporting, and Dashboards are created, updated, modified. On the marketing front, we've got 3 folks internally, none of whom are experts when it comes to digital execution so we need a partner who brings knowledge, advice, guidance, and is willing to "turn the wrench". I get that with Fission.

  We've made the Fission team an integral part of both our execution and our strategy when it comes to all our marketing efforts. Rather than just being a "vendor" who takes direction, Fission actively and earnestly engages with us. Their insight and expertise is sought after and trusted. Because we have a lot of "moving parts", i've come to expect (and receive) input from the Fission team, often before i ask.

  They see stuff and make recommendations and have a plan based on our need and objectives... prior to me asking. It's great, frankly. I have given them significant liberties and the freedom to "do what you believe is best, measure it, and let's figure out if it's working". And i have yet to regret that decision. This is my first time working with them, and i'm more than satisfied with what i'm getting."

• Review from the Head of Sales at a financial technology company: "We are a SaaS business that partnered with Fission to help clean up our HubSpot database and implement sales and marketing automation to streamline our processes. The Fission team was exceptional to work with—highly knowledgeable, communicative, and always on top of deadlines. Their expertise has been invaluable, and they’ve played a key role in helping us transform and improve our operations. We're thrilled with the results and look forward to continuing our work with them."
