According to the GRIT report, there has been an increase in the number of qualitative-based tools. This is centric to user experience, customer experience, and market research. However, as with all things, the actual research operations remains to be done and that happens usually outside of those toolsets. HubUx is a solution for that. You plug your tools directly into it; you enter in who it is that you want to talk to, when you want to talk to them, and HubUx literally does the rest for you. If you already have an existing customer list, you can just upload it directly into the tool. If you want to leverage social recruiting, that's integrated as well. It is the single source for all of your research operations needs HubUx. Check it out. Thanks.

[02:27]

My parents, I guess the way that they informed my career was actually kind of helping me choose what I didn't want to do.  So most of my family are involved in the automotive industry in one way, shape, or form. And when I was going through college,
