The Importance of Marketing Automation

Posted By Bill Hartzer on January 16, 2014at 3:38 pm

Marketing automation software is important since they allow brands to use targeted marketing messages to help drive conversions and create a rich profile of their audience. A marketing automation company will ensure that these processes run effectively by turning data into insights that optimize marketing messages and help to create strong customer lifetime value models. There are many digital channels that offer valuable resources to gather consumer and data insights which can be acted upon in real time.

Benefits of Marketing Automation

Modern marketers are slowly recognizing the potential of marketing automation. Through these systems, data can be managed and rich profiles of target buyers can be created. A marketing automation company can move prospects along on their buying journey by sending out pertinent information at the right time.

By measuring all the digital body language prospects are leaving through digital interactions and pinpointing when they are sending out buying signals, marketers are ready and waiting to target them. Marketing automation systems can link into CRM systems, thereby allowing marketers to do a better job and close more deals.

Challenges Facing Businesses that Want to Adopt Marketing Automation

The biggest challenge is that the technology itself is but an enabler. A marketing automation company can use automation to send out campaigns, manage their database, and review reporting, and can get the most out of marketing automation by aligning it with their sales departments. Marketers are now aware of which leads need to be nurtured before they are ready to speak to sales by working to establish common definitions of leads and stages in the funnel for lead scoring to be set up.

Marketing Automation & ROI

A marketing automation company measures response in terms of what is working and what isn’t. This is because all marketing data and campaigns are created and executed within the marketing automation platform. A connection to the CRM system means allow marketers to see how marketing is influencing pipeline. This means that marketers can now predict where some investments in programs at certain stages of the funnel can create a pipeline through a fantastic model and an alignment with sales.

Marketing Automation Platforms & Budget Holder Concerns

This depends on how the marketing automation company is operating. Marketing automation offers efficiency both in time and marketing investments.  

Leading the Process of Marketing Automation

There are two main teams who should be directly involved in implementing marketing automation – sales and marketing. This of course needs to be supplemented by support from top management in both departments. Marketing needs to lead and bring sales along for the key component of the lead management process in terms of the marketing automation part.

Where integration with the CRM is concerned, sales needs to be active and make sure that the system works for both departments by understanding the marketing requirements. A marketing automation company such as Salesfusion can provide you with the technology and expertise you need to take care of all your B2B marketing solutions.
