In month 9 of their 12-month contract, your channel deal calls you to close their HubSpot portal. Assuming the contract for the portal is in their name, how do you respond?
“Sure thing. The HubSpot portal senses inactivity and terminates automatically at the end of its first year if you haven’t used the software in the final 30 days. We can re-open after 90 days with everything still in place, if we need to.”
“No problem. I can inform our HubSpot CC of your request. You will be responsible for the remaining payments between now and the end of the contract, but it will officially close one year from the original signing date, since you contacted us at least 45 days in advance. Let’s meet to discuss removing content and data from the portal before it closes.”
“Sure thing. If you make one final payment, the remaining two months of the contract will be voided. Call HubSpot to tell them what we discussed.”
“No problem. I can inform HubSpot of your request. We have a forgiveness agreement with them as a member of their Agency Partner program and we can close channel deal portals at any time.”
