6Minded Reaches Elite HubSpot Partner Status

Written by Mat Jachna | Sep 9, 2024 10:18:46 AM

This moment has lived at the back of my mind since 2016. 🎉 6Minded is now a HubSpot Elite Solutions Partner—the highest level in the program, reserved for 1% of top-performing agencies worldwide.

Yeah, on paper, it's a significant achievement. But for me, this goes way deeper than any status or title. This is literally my dream coming true.

From product manager to Elite HubSpot partner

So I used to be this happy product manager at DocPlanner. Life was good. But then I'm juggling opening new markets while trying to keep five marketing teams across Europe on the same page, and it hit me. We couldn’t keep relying on the same lead-gen tactics. They just weren’t built for that kind of scale.

That’s when I decided to give HubSpot a try.

We went all-in across five countries. Built our first workflows. Launched websites, threw together content strategies, and tested several lead magnets. Slowly but surely, things started coming together. HubSpot helped us focus on users, learn as we went, and tie all our scattered efforts together into something that worked.

It made a difference. We ended up being the region's biggest HubSpot customer, and I was completely hooked.

Then, I went completely off the deep end and started my own HubSpot agency. Thus, 6Minded was born.

My vision was clear: build a team that could help other companies sell smarter, grow faster, and market in a way that felt more human, with one potent tool that I’d seen work across markets.

Driven by this dream of helping others excel, I knew where I wanted us to end up: right at the top of the HubSpot ecosystem.

And now, we’re here.

What it takes to become Elite

Becoming an Elite partner shows we can consistently deliver high-impact results across the entire HubSpot platform—CRM implementation, marketing automation, sales enablement, custom website development, and content strategy. All of it, at scale.

But it's also about how you show up. Are you being proactive? Are you transparent when things get off? Are you thinking strategically, or just slapping templates on everything and calling it a day?

The bottom line is that HubSpot doesn’t just hand this badge out. You've got to prove you can walk the walk.

Likewise, the Elite tier isn't something you get for showing up; you earn it, one project at a time.

It’s about driving real results across the board. Giving sales teams full visibility with smart CRM, cutting the busywork with automation, building websites that bring in qualified leads, and creating content that turns interest into action, not just vanity clicks.

But none of that happens without a sharp, adaptable team that’s all in, making HubSpot work exactly the way each client needs it to.

That’s the team I’ve been quietly putting together behind the scenes. And they’re the reason we finally made it to Elite.

“6Minded has proven themselves as an exceptional HubSpot partner, combining technical expertise, content strategy, and a deep understanding of client needs across global markets. Their work reflects a true inbound mindset, and their commitment to delivering measurable results for customers is what sets them apart. I’m excited to welcome them to the Elite Tier.”
