The HubSpot Certification process requires 15-20 hours study for each of our team members.
We have an obligation to do each of these accreditations yearly. Accreditation is an important part of the HubSpot Partner Network, keeping us up to date with the fast changing pace of inbound marketing. It also means that we are implementing best practices.
So What Does It Mean to Be a Diamond HubSpot Certified Partner?
HubSpot has four tier systems based on the accreditations and the success of an agency. Each customer is ranked by a HubSpot algorithm and as a result we have to maintain a certain high standard to keep our accreditations.
To be a HubSpot Silver Partner, a partner will have on average 3-5 customer portals that they manager.
To be a Gold Level partner, you will average 7-10 customers.
Platinum level partners will average 18-40 clients and Diamond, 40 clients and beyond.
