Marketing Automation Platforms
Streamlining the work of the internal marketing and sales team can make a tremendous impact on a company. One of the most successful ways to implement this is to invest in a Marketing Automation Platform (MAP).
Creating efficiencies for a team is just one benefit of MAPs, in fact, MAPs have shown:
♦ 78% of marketers attribute enhanced revenue contributions to Marketing Automation
♦ 80% of marketing automation users saw their number of leads increase
♦ 77% saw increased conversion rates due to marketing automation
Marketing Automation Platform (MAP) – Our Philosophy
At StratMg, we work with the leading marketing automation companies in the USA to bring solutions tailored to our clients’ needs. In our experience, a Marketing Automation Platform (MAP) enables two critical factors to scalable sales growth –
Before people buy from you, they have to buy into you
Marketing automation platforms give you the capacity to build a personalized digital relationship with your prospects simultaneously, without the time investment to do it manually.
Focus is not about doing less, but rather doing more of what matters most Marketing automation platforms quantify marketing investments to highlight specific initiatives that are working well and those that need recalibration for a team to optimize the budget and scale for growth.
MAP – ‘Do More With Less’
Over the last couple of decades, we have witnessed the sales cycle evolve from in-person relationships to utilizing online resources to short-list potential partners. In essence, our experience shows the buying cycle morphing but NOT the criteria to evaluate a partner.
Our peers within the industrial manufacturing world are experts at building off-line relationships. So it can sometimes be a struggle for leadership to justify the cost of the technology and investment in one of the many email marketing automation companies that can help them build a multi-faceted relationship with their prospects and clients.
By leveraging a MAP, your company would be able to connect with prospects easily and frequently, all while building a relationship that establishes trust and credibility in your company.
With StratMg, we help you research and identify email marketing automation companies that will best help you position your company as a trusted partner, not a vendor.
Regardless of how you connect with your end-customer, we advocate building relationships by encouraging –
♦ Listening
Listen to the needs of your prospect. Become someone they consider as a dependable resource, not a salesperson.
♦ Transparency
Always maintain honesty and transparency in every touchpoint – make sure you are predictable and straightforward with what they can expect while working with you.
♦ Accessibility
Be easy to work with and make sure the communications between your customers and your team are seamless. Remember, be an extension of their team, not another vendor.
