Radical candor, then, results from a combination of caring personally and challenging directly. But what does it look like in practice? Scott has created an acronym to help people remember:

HHIPP: “Radical candor is humble, it’s helpful, it’s immediate, it’s in person — in private if it’s criticism and in public if it’s praise — and it doesn’t personalize.” That last P makes a key distinction: “My boss didn’t say, ‘You’re stupid.’ She said, ‘You sounded stupid when you said um.’ There’s a big difference between the two.”

Inbound Prediction: HubSpot will launch an MVP program

Similar to how Microsoft has a fantastic MVP program.

Action item: use these graphs to highlight areas to improve or remove. For example, I’ve cut back on showing CTAs to anyone outside Australia.

Shot 3: Challenge of the Week

Communicating with customers when things go wrong.

Chatting with @mobysiddique about this – he alerted me to the issue initially, because he is having the issue with his InboundBuzz podcast feed

Shot 4: Opinion of the Week

The 200 billion dollar chatbot disruption: http://venturebeat.com/2016/05/01/the-200-billion-dollar-chatbot-disruption/

To highlight the key differences, let’s itemize the various gaps in the two approaches:

Chatbots offer a standardized way of connecting with businesses (similar to Twitter handles or email addresses), reducing the complexity of finding the contact info for a company.

By integrating with Facebook identity, chatbots allow for automatic verification of personal information (no more cumbersome account lookups or credit card entries).

Takeaway: How do you get prepared as a business for this? Is the first thing to have a knowledge base where customers go to help themselves?

Shot 5: General Tip of the Week

Advanced User Permissions for HubSpot CRM

For HubSpot CRM users, navigate to Settings > Users. Add a new user or edit an existing one, and you’ll see a new set of options under the “Sales” user roles:

For each user, admins will be able to choose the following permissions:

CRM Features (Companies, Deals, Tasks): Enabled/Disabled

View: Everything, owned + unassigned, owned only

Edit: Everything, owned + unassigned, owned only

Bulk Delete: Enabled/Disabled

Import: Enabled/Disabled

Export: Enabled/Disabled

Edit Settings: Enabled/Disabled

HubSpot CRM User Roles

These permissions can be mixed and matched on a per-user basis to make the configuration that works best for a specific team. Users can also separate view and edit permissions. For example, a manager might let his or her reps see everything, but only edit the records they own.
