The Future of Shared Selling
Why HubSpot is Reducing Capacities [And more importantly, when]
We know that historically there have been many rejections, a lot of conflict, and a lack of alignment between partners and HubSpot reps when it comes to sales collaboration. Part of this has been a system issue and having a capacity system causes conflict. The current system governs how you sell with us and with high capacities comes low acceptance rates. By beginning to reduce capacities, we've been able to reverse the trend of low acceptance rates, however, while trending in the right direction, we need to make more progress. Reducing capacities is a short term fix to alleviate conflict while we continue to solve for the long term goal - a new deal registration model.
Additionally, capacities no longer align with what we value. While domain registration incentivized partners to refer new leads, the new deal registration model incentivizes partners to source leads, expand customers onto new hubs, and close customers. This new model aligns with HubSpot’s vision of scaling with our partners.
