In a time of a changing buyer landscaper, pre-sale engagement has changed dramatically. Buyers used to have very limited information, now they have more than they can even use. If you don’t want your marketing message to get ignored, it needs to be more targeted and personal than ever before. Nurturing leads with relevant content is now a requirement.

“The average sales cycle has increased 22% over the past 5 years due to more decision makers being involved in the buying process”

SO WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CRM YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING AND MARKETING AUTOMATION TOOLS?
APPLICATION OF MARKETING AUTOMATION TO B2B COMPANIES
In nearly all cases, the high revenue per sales transaction (RPU) of the typical B2B company justifies the relatively small spend on marketing automation. Every sale is worth thousands and every lead is worth hundreds of dollars. Typical B2B companies spend hundreds of thousands, or millions, of dollars on sales salaries and lead generation activities. Therefore, it is extremely important to identify every lead and convert each of these leads into sales at the highest rate possible.
Marketing automation drives more qualified leads and collects valuable sales intelligence to improve closing rates. These efficiencies are incredibly valuable to your B2B clients
APPLICATION OF MARKETING AUTOMATION TO B2C COMPANIES
Marketing automation present B2C companies with a different set of value propositions, but without a doubt, the benefits of marketing automation for B2C companies can be equally impressive.
The ability to segment customers and automate near one-on-one communication will drive more sales. While all the analytics a marketing automation tool captures will help eliminate waste, refine messaging and prove ROI.
In summary, marketing automation is a must have for today’s business to generate more revenue by increasing qualified leads and getting ahead of the competition.
