14. Most Tools are
Siloed
PROBLEM
Marketing and Sales tools rarely talk to
each other. In most cases, the leads are just
sent from one tool to another without
knowing where the lead came from, why
they were interested or even where the lead
entered their information.

15. Choose tools based upon
integration. It is critical for
Growth.
Ultimate Growth Stack
16. Ease of integration is critical for marketing success. Growth teams and marketers need to
take action without a developer. Pick tools which minimize developer integration time.
THE ULTIMATE STACK
17. Use Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager let’s you add analytics tag,
conversion pixels and custom scripts without ever
having to talk to a developer. Finally, getting a new
script added takes less than an week.
01.
19. Use Segment
Segment is the Rosetta Stone of API’s. It allows you to
install once and work with over 300 different tools. Data
piping magic that keeps you flexible, agile and ready for
innovation.
02.
21. Integrate in the
21st century
SEGMENT
Marketing Tools. Sales Tools.
Developer Tools. Support Tools.
22. Use Clearbit
Clearbit is the modern enrichment provider. With API
you want to use and a sexy Segment integration, you
can pass your new firmograpahic, technographic and
demographic data into any tool.
03.
24. Enrich in the 21st
century
CLEARBIT
Prospecting Data. Firmographic Data.
Demographic Data. Technographic Data.
25. Use Autopilot
Autopilot is a newer marketing automation platform
which threw out the rule book. Instead of being a big
clunky beast, they are lean, yet a powerful multi-
channel marketing automation platform.
04.
27. Automate in the
21st century
AUTOPILOT
Email Automation. Text/SMS Automation.
Postcard Automation. Pop-up Automation.
28. Use Salesforce
The #1 CRM is #1 for an effin reason. The platform
is not cheap, but with the ecosystem of tools and
integrations it has, you are an idiot if you choose
something else. Even startups with no money
should use this tool.
05.
30. CRM in the 21st
century
SALESFORCE
App Exchange. Lead Tracking.
Deal Tracking. Customer Tracking.
31. Use kissmetrics
Kissmetrics by far is the most powerful analytics
tool. Their innovation cycle on new visualizations
and reports is astounding. They are also the cross-
device tracking leader say’s me :)
06.
33. Analytics in the
21st century
KISSMETRICS
Multi-Device Analytics. Dashboard Analytics.
Customer Analytics. Real-time Analytics.
34. Use Zapier
Zapier is one of the most connected tools in the
world. With over 300 integrations, it can pass data
from one tool to the next, while transforming and
filtering data to ensure you only get what you need.
07.
36. Having tools is one thing, but
putting them to use is another.
Let’s review some examples.
Now What?
37. RealThread.com
Custom T-shirt printing has never felt so good.
Real thread is a custom t-shirt printer which has
some of the softest inks to ensure your customers
enjoy wearing your shirts. The print for fashion
lines, startups and all sorts of businesses.

39. Lead Scoring
People who have given us their email, but do not
appear ready to purchase. Many of these folks need
to be identified or qualified.

Marketing rarely knows what happens to a lead after
it is sent to sales, but it is time for that to change.
We should know when sales picks up a lead and
integrate that into our analytics.

siloed platforms, giving us
no visibility into the
customer journey.
Problem
47. ORIGINAL REAL THREAD STACK
Luckily when we got to Real Thread they were already using some of our favorite tools,
Segment and Salesforce. To really accomplish the job though we needed a marketing
automation tool, improved communication and better reporting.
48. NEW REAL THREAD STACK
Your stack should work together as one cohesive unit. Each
tool should be able to collect and send information to others
tools when possible.
49. Turn thousands of prospects
per month into marketing
qualified leads (MQL).
