Hubspot email marketing ripoff - the affiliate program is a scam MA Cambridge Massachusetts

I signed up for hubspot's email marketing professional services.  It is a saas service where you sign up as an affiliate with hubspot to sell their email marketing ervices. 

Initially, hubspot connected me to some affiliate they have, to give me testimony of how great and lucrative the product was, and how easy to sell it was.  This "ringer" that they had call me even agreed to collaborate with me to provide leads to me and help me get things going.  Before I signed up, it was super easy to get in touch with this ringer, after I signed, he disappeared!  And I discussed with hubspot and asked for someone else to support me / work with me on leads and never had another assigned to me.  

Separately and additionally, hubspot themselves promised they would not leave me out in the dark and would help me bring in qualified leads to sell the product to, and / or link me up with other partners that would help me with leads.  Nothing at all!

For sales "support" calls, every single call was discussing what I had done to sell the package; with no support as originally promised from hubspot.  Basically, did you go through the training videos, are you reaching out to existing customers, etc. etc. etc.  Basically, you get zero real sales support; it is 100% on you to get qualified leads, even though they paint it as it will be super easy to pick and choose leads they will feed you or one of the partners already selling hubspot will feed you.  It's all a lie!

The training videos are extremely long and time-consuming, and add zero value to your ability to sell.

The product overall is unnecessarily complicated, just to get a site up and running with the correct funnels, you have to jump through 20 hoops.  There are thousands of ways to do this all without paying this ripoff of a company a monthly fee, that is very costly by the way.

Before you sign up, the sales team promises the world to you, after you sign up, everyone disappears and takes long to reply.  Once you get a hold of the sales people, they basically tell you you are on your own, and aren't doing enough to sell.

To get your commission payout, you have to chase down billing and wait months!  But, to pay the monthly bill, you can't be late one minute or they will be banging down your door.

At the end, I was rippped of, but, wanted to pay off my remaining balance, I wanted to set up an arrangement to pay everything off, and sent them an email to discuss...without discussing with me, they sent it to collections!  No notice, no discussion, they just sent the balance to collections!  Lucky for me, I was able to get in contact with collections, and pay everything off through them, otherwise, they may have even screwed up my credit, to add insult to injury.  And that was the last straw, I had to write this report.

I am a very technical person, and have strong experience selling, and am educated beyond college level.  I highly recommend everyone steer clear of hubspot's reseller program!  It is a clear ripoff and pyramid scheme, which unfortunately, I fell into.  Don't let them take advantage of bad economy and poor job availability; you can do hubspot-like email marketing, without hubspot ripping you off.

Anyone is able to contact me through here and further discuss, I have email records, sales receipts, etc.  Just to help people not get ripped off, I am even willing to take from my time and point people in the right direction on how to resell email marketing services without hubspot and do so for free, and without paying me either!  That's how angry and disappointed I am with hubspot!

If you hadn't already gotten it from the above, steer clear from hubspot, it's a ripoff!
