Marketing Automation and CRM

Marketing Automation Industry

Marketing automation and CRM have an interesting relationship, but in actuality, they’re not exactly the same solution. That’s why, for businesses of all sizes looking for the best marketing automation software, there’s a real need to understand precisely how voice marketing automation and customer relationship management relate to each other and what each solution can accomplish. Only in this way can you be sure the solution or solutions you choose will effectively serve the purposes of your sales and/or marketing team.

At LeadMaster, we’ve been serving the marketing and sales needs of small, medium and large businesses for more than two decades. In that time, we’ve developed both call marketing automation and CRM solutions that work together seamlessly and fit the needs of almost every major industry, from finance and real estate to call centers and healthcare organizations.

To help your business make the right choice when selecting an affordable marketing automation solution, CRM solution or both, let’s take a closer look at when marketing automation software is most often needed and how it serves as a preliminary step to CRM.

What Is Marketing Automation Software?

As its name implies, marketing automation software is focused on your marketing efforts — unlike CRM software, which tends to be more sales focused. What this means is that marketing automation helps streamline and focus the top tiers of your marketing funnel, while CRM comes into play when you’re managing your sales funnel and how it relates to prospective and current customers.

In other words, while your marketing team is developing campaigns, collecting raw leads and moving them down the marketing funnel to nurture them and turn them into active, qualified leads, that’s precisely when you can make the most use of marketing automation. Then later, when your sales department accepts those leads and works to convert them into viable sales and retain them as repeat customers, you need a robust CRM solution to support such efforts.

To further clarify when you can make the most of marketing automation software, here are some of the telltale signs that you might need it:

  • You have an unwieldy customer list: Is your marketing team doing a great job of collecting emails and other contact information but struggling to properly organize the data into the right marketing funnel stages? If so, you need the assistance and high-quality performance of marketing automation software.
  • You have a sparse customer list: On the flip side, if your marketing team is struggling to find more contacts, marketing automation software helps them generate more leads by reaching prospective candidates in the way that best fits your audience and positively presents your service or product.
  • You’re generating content but need to present it appropriately: Both across multiple channels before a marketing campaign and in analytics and reports after a campaign, your marketing team can use marketing automation software to more widely publish content and measure its results in a timely manner. That way, their marketing efforts become more targeted and successful.

Of course, working with LeadMaster means that your marketing efforts are fully supported so that when the time comes to convert leads into sales, your CRM doesn’t miss a step — or an opportunity.

Managing leads and moving them through your company’s sales funnel takes time. Not only does your team have to connect and communicate with clients across multiple channels. They also have to track the progress of customers, identify when each is ready to buy and measure the campaign’s performance to boost conversion ratios. Our marketing automation solution gives you the tools to streamline those tasks.
