Today’s fastest growing companies are using repeatable marketing and sales 2.0 techniques to grow revenue predictably and reliably. They are embracing the shift from the selling process to the buying process, moving marketing from a cost center to a revenue generator. By replacing the old linear sales model with a new holistic approach, companies are redefining the way marketing and sales teams work together.
The new buying landscape has changed marketing’s approach to lead generation and management. This tectonic shift has created a need to improve upon outdated systems that can no longer keep up with the demand to increase lead flow, ensure lead quality, and prove program effectiveness and ROI.
Companies that implement a marketing automation system to support their marketing and sales efforts are better equipped to manage lead flow and process leads more efficiently.
This paper outlines how marketing automation optimizes marketing programs and can help companies:
- Create a faster and more predictable revenue cycle
- Increase profitability with tactics that result in higher conversion rates
- Align the efforts of marketing and sales teams to substantially increase top-line revenue growth
