Overview:
This week, we've got Michelle Benfer, VP and head of North American sales for HubSpot. An incredible sales leader, Michelle has risen up the ranks over the last 20 years. She started her sales career at an automotive dealership where she sold PT Cruisers and Jeeps, and then moved on to media sales at places like Vogue before getting into the world of SaaS. Today, Michelle leads a large team at HubSpot, which just came off a strong year, despite — or perhaps because of — the pandemic.
