In this round, partners submit an application (one per partner entity) including basic information about themselves and will also be asked to upload some existing artifacts related to their work with clients in Onboarding. Partners will also provide contact information for a referenceable client and Hubspot will reach out to that client to solicit feedback about their experience with the partner applying for accreditation.
Between Rounds One and Two: Your application will be reviewed by the HubSpot team to determine if you will move forward to Round Two. You will be notified by email of your application status and should also be able to check through your Submittable account.
In this round, partners will be asked to upload a video reviewing in English their first-hand experience with a particular facet of customer onboarding, and to complete a call audit exercise.
