A Hubspotters Night Before Christmas

by Oscar R. Quiroga

LINGOCENTRAL

'Twas the night before

Christmas,

when all through the land ,

Not a creature was stirring,

not even a Twitter fan;

The CTA’s were hung on

the front page with care,

In hopes that our new lead

soon would be there;

The clients were nestled all

snug in their beds,

While visions of signed

contracts danced in my head;

And my wife in her

'kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled on our

iMacs for a long winter's

nap;

When out on the news feed

there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my app to see

what was the matter;

Away to a new window I

flew like a flash,

I logged into my email and

threw up the sash;

When what to my wondering

eyes did appear,

But a handful of new likes

as I reached for my beer;

With a colorful analytic

report so lively and sweet,

I knew in a moment it must

be time for a tweet;

More rapid than eagles the

new site visits they came,

I whistled, and shouted, and

called them by name:

"Now, Facebook! now,

Twitter! now Google+ and

Chrome!

On, Hubspot! on,

Instagram! on, Basecamp

and iPhone!”

And then, in a twinkling, I

heard the chime of gmail,

The prancing and pawing of

each shiny new e-mail!

As I twirled in my seat, and

was turning around,

Down the buyers funnel new

leads came in with a bound;

They were dressed all in

fur, from their head to their

feet,

And their locations were

beaming with every new

tweet;

A bundle of questions popped

up on my screen,

About features, and benefits

and all sorts of things;

Their eyes—how they

twinkled! their search queries

were many!

I kept looking for google

search terms and couldn’t

find any!

The questions they asked

were like the movie “Elf ”,

And I laughed when I read

them, in spite of myself;

For I knew I could answer

them as quick as they came,

My Hubspot inbound

training made me the best in

the game;

I spoke not a word, but went

straight to my work,

And answered all the

emails; hoping I didn’t sound

like a jerk;

And laying my finger aside

of my nose,

And giving a nod, to the

office I rose;

I sprang to my phone and

gave my team a quick call,

Thanking them all for their

work - most important of

all.

I gladly exclaimed, as I put out the light—

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good

night!”
