Research & Partnership interviews for HubSpot consultants, accountants, and SEO agencies only - Contract to Hire

Summary We’re building a new solution for growth-focused businesses and want to speak directly with the people who advise them every day. I’m looking to interview and potentially collaborate with: • HubSpot / CRM / Marketing Ops consultants & agencies • Accountants / CPA firms who work with small–mid sized businesses or DTC/eCommerce brands • SEO-only agencies (content/technical/link-building), NOT doing PPC / paid ads This is not a typical “execution” project. Think of it as a paid research + partnership exploration call. If there’s a fit, there may be follow-on work. - Who we’re specifically looking for Please only apply if you match at least one of these profiles: 1. HubSpot / CRM / Marketing Ops specialists • You implement HubSpot or similar CRMs. • You help clients with lifecycle, lead management, data hygiene, reporting. • You are not the media buying agency (others usually handle paid ads). 2. Accountants / CPAs / Virtual CFOs • You work with small–mid size businesses, DTC brands, or service businesses. • You help them with financials, budgeting, forecasting, profitability. • You are not running their Google/Facebook/TikTok ads. 3. Pure-play SEO agencies / consultants • You focus on organic search: technical SEO, content, links, rankings. • You do not manage paid media or act as the agency of record for ads. • Your clients often ask you “who should we use for ads?” or “how do we scale paid?” - What this project is (Phase 1) We will book 1–2 paid sessions with you initially (via Upwork): • 30–60 minute Zoom/Meet/Teams call, recorded for internal notes only. • We’ll ask about: • Your service model & client profile • What growth challenges you see your clients struggling with • How you currently handle requests around paid ads / creative / performance marketing • What an ideal partner or add-on service would look like for you You’ll also have a chance to ask questions and share your perspective on: • What you need from partners like us • What would make a referral or white-label model worthwhile & safe for you • Where you think this could fit in your current business We’ll pay you for your time on Upwork for these research/consulting sessions, regardless of whether we decide to work together long-term. - What this might lead to (later phases) If there’s a strong alignment, we may explore: • A structured partner / reseller / referral model • Simple ways for you to offer additional services to your existing clients (e.g. performance creative, paid media audits, funnel builds) • Joint offers where you stay the “trusted advisor” and we deliver a specialist component behind the scenes Anything ongoing that happens via Upwork will be scoped & paid as separate contracts here. - Requirements • You do NOT currently operate as a media-buying agency of record (no “we run all their ads”). • You have at least 3 active clients in your service line (HubSpot/CRM, accounting, or SEO). • You’re comfortable discussing: • your client mix (no names needed), • typical budgets / problems, • how you currently handle growth/marketing questions from them. • Strong English communication (spoken) – we’ll be having live calls. - Nice-to-have • Experience collaborating with other agencies / vendors. • You already receive inbound questions like “Can you recommend someone for ads / media / performance creative?” • You are thinking about expanding your service portfolio without hiring a full internal ads team. - What to include in your proposal Please answer these briefly: 1. Which profile are you? (HubSpot/CRM, Accountant/CPA, SEO agency/consultant) 2. Roughly how many active clients do you manage right now? 3. What industries do you mostly serve? 4.
