It has been said hundreds of times before, but it’s worth repeating: eliminating repetitive processes within a work team will only lead to higher productivity and less human fatigue. This is precisely what we achieve by integrating a marketing automation tool.
A marketing automation tool, as the name suggests, allows workflows and processes within this department to be performed automatically (makes sense, right?)—freeing up human staff to focus on higher-value tasks such as new strategies.
Rootlenses Voice, HubSpot, among others, stand out in this field. However, for the purpose of this article, we’ll focus on the benefits of integrating one of these tools and how to make them work efficiently.
Key Benefits of Integration
When done right, the integration of marketing automation tools offers advantages that directly impact results, efficiency, and scalability. Let’s explore some of the most relevant ones from the perspective of someone looking to automate their marketing processes.
Greater Operational Efficiency
By eliminating manual, duplicated, or low-visibility tasks, human effort and errors are reduced. According to NetSuite, integration allows “teams to work with the same up-to-date information” and ensures that “actions like a brochure download, a website visit, or a retargeting campaign” automatically trigger workflows.
Better Lead Generation and Nurturing
When your B2B CRM is integrated with your campaign software or content automation system, leads enter the funnel correctly, are segmented, nurtured, and handed over to the sales team at the right time. One report notes that integration between automation and CRM improves lead scoring, speeds up the handoff to sales, and enhances personalization.
More Consistent and Personalized Customer Experience
The ability to deliver relevant content at the right time, through the right channel, increases when systems are connected. One analysis highlights that, in B2B environments, automation helps “improve customer experience, make better use of staff time, and make better data-driven decisions.”
Data-Driven Decisions (and Better ROI)
With integrated workflows, all systems contribute to the same data repository: campaigns, user interactions, sales, and analytics. This enables measurement, optimization, and prediction. According to one source, those adopting automation see a 14% improvement in sales productivity and a 12.2% reduction in marketing costs.
Scalability and Future Readiness
When your tech stack is properly integrated, scaling new campaigns, adding new channels, or leveraging inbound marketing and content automation software becomes much easier. Studies show that the automation market continues to grow and integration will be increasingly in demand in the coming years.
What Types of Integrations Should You Consider?
When designing your integration strategy, here are some of the key connections you should prioritize:
- CRM + Marketing Automation: The basic pillar. CRM data should feed automation systems, while automation updates the CRM with lead scoring, lead status, and digital behavior. B2B CRM tools play a central role.
- Email/Content Marketing Platforms + Web Behavior: Your email or content campaigns should respond automatically to visitors who display specific behaviors (for example, visiting a key page).
- Social Media / Advertising + CRM + Marketing Automation: Interactions on social media or ads should generate leads that integrate seamlessly into the CRM and campaign software without manual intervention.
- Analytics / BI + Marketing Automation: Campaign data (open rate, clicks, cart abandonment, etc.) should be reflected in your dashboards.
- Multichannel Interaction: SMS, push notifications, web, chatbots, email... Integration ensures all these channels work together in a unified experience.
