In a world where the marketing landscape is rapidly changing, it is easy to stick to the proven methods of email marketing and direct marketing campaigns. It’s easy to rely on your sales team to nurture leads. But what’s not easy is thinking about all of the leads you’re missing out on because you lack the tools and support that marketing automation provides. If you are torn between implementing marketing automation and not ask yourself these questions:
- Do you currently track campaigns?
- How?
- Who is nurturing leads?
- When does the interaction between marketing and sales come into play?
If the answers to these questions illuminate the gaps in your marketing process or you are lacking answers, then it’s time to get serious about marketing automation. Here are the 8 biggest indicators that you may need a marketing automation solution.
