Customer Experience Matrix: Optify Lets Agencies Provide Small Business with Marketing Automation, Distributed Marketing, and Sales Enablement

Customer Experience Matrix: Optify Lets Agencies Provide Small Business with Marketing Automation, Distributed Marketing, and Sales Enablement | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Key excerpt...


What Optify does offer inbound marketers is extensive support for search engine optimization.  This includes detailed research into keyword rankings for the client and competitors, analysis of Web pages for features that improve search ranks, an inbound link manager, and a Twitter client to publish posts and embed trackable URLs that measure campaign results.

Moving towards the middle of the funnel, Optify offers reasonably powerful email and landing page builders, based on templates or HTML. Landing pages can be attached to an auto-responder email, while standard fields on forms are automatically mapped to Salesforce.com. Emails are delivered through ExactTarget. Users can create lists and segments based on all contact properties, activities, email history, and custom fields. There are no real multi-step campaigns, however.

Sales enablement includes lead scoring, with multiple scores per lead; alerts based on search keywords and lead scores; a live ticker showing current Web site visitors with companies identified via reverse IP lookup; and appending of company data from Dunn & Bradstreet. The system can send each salesperson a daily email of newly qualified leads, selected with shared rules or separate rules for each salesperson.. Salespeople can view their contact list, drill down to individual profiles, aand drill further to see behavior details – even as far as each page viewed during a Web site visit. Users can send the contact a system email or add it to a list.

Joemktg's insight:

Optify serves the digital marketing agency space, and you've often seen me scoop from their blog (excellent information). If you're a digital marketing agency, you may want to consider Optify as a SaaS offering.

Want to partner with a marketing agency? Read this blog for examples of the typical value-added services that agencies often provide.


Excerpted...


Agencies have evolved and are well versed in helping customers tackle many of the problems that modern marketers face today. Take a look at our recent ebook Technology and the Evolution of the Marketing Agency for more information. Customers often ask what different types of services agencies offer that can help with their lead generation efforts. Below are examples of the typical value-added services that agencies often provide.


Marketing Strategy

Given the power behind marketing automation software solutions, clients now need to think more thoroughly and strategically about who they are targeting. What is the buying process for that buyer and how can they optimize the prospect’s journey? Agencies now understand the power behind marketing automation and can help lead the client to the right strategy to create leads, opportunities and close deals. 

Data Quality

Content Strategy and Creation

Sales & Marketing Alignment and Process Development

Campaign Execution

Strong campaign execution is a crucial element of the overall marketing strategy, particularly if a customer has marketing automation and other technology solutions. Many agencies have built out capabilities around executing campaigns on behalf of their clients.

Joemktg's insight:

We not sure we would call it value added services, rather, it is the use of marketing technology to drive revenue opportunities for B2B organizations. Regardless, this outlines some of the services provided by today's digital marketing agency (as well as SEO).
