3. 3
• Marketing Automation systems are web-based
applications.
• They help you generate more sales leads.
• They help you generate better quality leads.
• They automate the follow-up with those leads to
convert more of them to “sales ready” leads.
• They coordinate web marketing activities like email
marketing, online ads and online registrations.
• They help you analyze which marketing inputs
produce the best outputs – sales leads and sales.
5. The Problem
• Lead Generation tends to be inconsistent – not
standardized or automated.
• Can identify contacts but these don’t convert to
opportunities
• Process frequently ignores buyer behaviour – buyers
now do a lot /most of their research online
Ad hoc lead 11 generation - not repeatable
2 2 Ad hoc lead management -
inconsistent
3 3 Too many manual steps – not scalable

The problem
ThTeh Pero Pblreomblem
Typical problems with Lead Generation today
• Online lead generation is not systematically managed.
• Marketing teams generate a limited number of leads from one or
two sources such as tradeshows.
• Marketing teams pass every contact they generate to Sales without
sorting out the good from the bad.
• Sales teams believe the leads they get from their Marketing units
are low quality and so do not follow them up effectively.
• Some leads are not followed up within a reasonable time frame, or
at all.
• Marketing can’t see what happens to the leads they pass to Sales.
• Marketing can’t compare the quality of leads generated from two
different sources because they can’t track their progress in sales.
• Marketing teams are not sure which activities generate ‘good’ sales
leads.
• Marketing aren’t sure which elements of promotional spend
produce the best sales results.

Automation Project?

Marketing Automation
ThGe oGaolasls Foof Mr Markaertikneg tAiuntgom Aautitoonmation
1. Generate more leads
2. Generate better quality leads (i.e. generate more 'hot' leads and less
'cold' ones).
3. Ensure we respond to all leads (i.e. that none of them go un-contacted).
4. Make sure this response happens faster than at present (e.g. minutes or
hours rather than days).
5. Ensure we respond to all leads consistently.
6. Ensure this response is based on information we have about the lead,
rather than based on a given sales person's current location, their
workload or their access to the CRM system or other circumstantial
drivers.
7. Ensure that our longer-term response (lead nurturing) is effective at
driving engagement with leads – that our actions increase engagement,
not decrease it.
8. Record sufficient information about how we manage leads so that we can
analyze our activities and draw accurate conclusions about how to
improve our approach.

Startup companies have a few key goals at the start
– build your product,
- raise finance,
- get your first customers
- hire staff
Once you are confident that you have a product that
(a) meets a real customer need and
(b) a decent sized market, then your focus must switch
The key goal from that point forward is a Repeatable Customer Acquisition Process
