Typically we see Marketing Automation working best for businesses that are ready to scale. Many new businesses have not yet defined or refined their culture, systems, processes and product. That being said, we do recommend the book called, “The E-Myth” by Michael Gerber to move forward to this point.
Marketing automation works best when you have:
- A steady flow of new and qualified leads
- A fully systemized Marketing and sales process
- A marketing strategy and content strategy mapped to your buyer’s journey
- a proven lead nurturing strategy that is ready to scale
These are all good signs that marketing automation could work for your business. The key here is understanding that marketing automation does not do marketing for you, but can help scale your successful efforts.
